Freeway 6 Send Form Action bug

Looks like there’s a bug in Freeway 6 and the Send Form action.

If you apply the Send Form Action to an inline

, each change > publish creates another FW_SendForm_index_form.php file named FW_SendForm_index_form1.php, FW_SendForm_index_form2.php etc the filling the site folder.

FW5.6.5 used to do this also.

Yes I had noticed this and told SP Towers - they are working on a fix.

Actually it was some time ago they told me that!

I really hope so, any modern site is inline and this really puts a kibosh on using Freeway built in forms. I’ve been really struggling with this with old 5.5.6 sites because of this.

Hi guys,

This doesn’t stop the form from working, does it?

Not unless when you do housekeeping you delete the wrong version - but if you leave it alone it is fine.

Distressing for OCD sufferers to see all those files in there though!

One site has 5 dedicated forms and is frequently updated. It makes me cringe to see all the files being created. I ended up deleting all the files delete files out of the site folder before a publish, rinse, repeat. I just assumed it was just FW5 that was effected.

The other option is to do a dedicated form that posts to the first php script and leave that script on the server (assuming the details don’t need to changed)

If you have created a ‘standard’ form processor using the action then it can be reused like that (my-form-processor.php) and it will pretty much deal with anything you fling at it.

Clarification: I must admit that I haven’t done it with the SendForm action but certainly have with PHPFF

The bug is still there in 7.0.2

I just deleted FW_SendForm_index_Form83.php.

I have a total of 1 form on the site. Every time I republish, FW creates 6 new FW_SendForm_index_FormXX.php files

Shouldn’t there just be one?
