PHP Feedback Form breaks CSS Menu

Hi guys,

this is an entry in my german forum board and it has been asked:

PHP FeedbackForm breaks the functionality of the responsive CSS Menu. It’s reported, that the hamburger icon appears, but on click nothing happens.

I answered to apply the Multiple Form Action, however this doesn’t seem to work. I’m honest, I haven’t used those form actions for years - or is there any other aspect I forgot?

Thanks for any pointers.

Cheers

Thomas

Sounds like there could be a javascript conflict - example pages?

Hi Dave,

trying to get one but she said, that it’s similar to this template where the problem occurs as well:

http://template.softpress.com/floral/contact.html

while this one obviously works:

http://template.softpress.com/theband/contact.html

Cheers

Those pages both work for me - but the form action isn’t implemented on one of them and the band page uses the Send Form action and not PHP Feedback Form.

Without the file I cant test further.

Hi David,

if I may borrow your brain, this is the page. It breaks the responsive menu (on click nothing happens):

http://zwozwo.com/kunden/hoecker/kontaktkopie.php

It uses (as she told me):

PHP-Feedback Form und Validation Extras (Page actions)

and

Validate for the single Form fields.

Apologize my dumbness here, but it’s years that I used the inbuilt or extra form-stuff coming alongside. Is the PHP-Feedback Form Mike B’s? So perhaps he knows the trick.

I let here built a very basic single file - just form and menu! Perhaps there is some buggy stuff in there as well.

A quick word to “switch off” validation:

It didn’t really work - or let’s say, YES - it brought back the Menu, but in all honesty, this shouldn’t be the fix, cause field validation does make sense.

Cheers

Thomas

PHPFF is Tim Plumb. It was the mental model upon which SendForm (Softpress) was built, although the implementation is slightly different.

I don’t know if your page has ended up with multiple forms, or if there are form elements used in the CSS menu (to save state) that are getting vacuumed up into your form submission. I’m on my phone, so I can’t view source and see.

I think that the first thing I would try is to apply the action at Page level rather than the PageWrapper div.

Your page is set as Html5 so you can use the validation built into that rather than use the Validation suite meantime.

Is WebYep used on that page? Just curious as to why it is a .php page?

Would like to see the FW file for just that page so that I could investigate further.

Hi guys,

thanks for your comments, appreciated.

Just to avoid some misunderstandings:

It’s not me creating this file. I run a couple of years now a small german Freeway forum. Usually, I’m able to fix the requests there on my own. But sometimes not. This is mostly the case when it comes to use actions. I’m not used to use most of them (forms I still handle with Forms2go). For this reason, I’m not really able to get hands on specific files.

Whatsoever

What I recommended for now is to create a very basic, unstyled page with all the required components. Two or three form-elements plus a responsive css-menu with two or three simple links. Just to get rid of some of the mess (and I think there is), being able to focus on functions.

One of the confusing stuff is, that there are two available actions sending forms. I’m not aware which of those actions doing what. Clarifying this would help me too.

Let’s see how things going on.

Cheers

Thomas

OK guys - just to report:

After rebuilding the page, everything works as expected. She uses the SendForm for now (so it was something in the depth of web myths).

I think I have to review my strategy as well, starting to deal with SendForm as well. Apparently there are some things in now that I missed yet.

Cheers

SendForm is essentially Softpress’s version of Tim’s PHPFF action - they share similarities but are not exactly the same ie SendForm is not PHPFF Mk2.

SendForm can be applied to an inline item whereas PHPFF can not but both can be applied as page actions.
