I’ve looked at the help file and it doens’t really tell me anything. Can anyone send me to a simple step-by-step guide on how to put an email form on my website?
I merely want users to be able to send an email to me (easy), but rather than just open their email host, I want to prompt them line by line on what they need to write in the email - ideally by filling in, say, four boxes of text (which I can write instructions for), which then arrive in my inbox as four paragraphs of email.
That’s wonderful - thank you David. This is all new to me so the Help file didn’t help at all.
I now seem to have made a form ok, and it even seems to be working!
The only things I can’t work out how to do are
make the Text Fields show the same size as the cells they are in (I had to paste them inside the cells or they wouldn’t stay where i wanted them) and
make the Text Area the same size as the cell its inside, and also control the font in the Text Area. (I always have this trouble with actions and mark-ups, as they don’t seem to have a text edit function and I can only control by swiping over some conventional text and changing all of it - which hasn’t worked on this occasion.
As you can see, the input boxes are too small, but when I make them bigger they just enlarge the cell, leving a large margin - only I have both padding and margins set to 1.
Thanks - I did have a look at that action (Thanks Thomas), but it was too complicated for me.
I’ve got the Form working now, and though it’s not quite how I’d like I’ll stick with that.
It would be great if Freeway were able to do something about some of these layout issues, though. My son and wife are both professional software developers and they can’t make head nor tail of Freeway!
I’m just a humble user but by sticking with the very easy things and only trying to improve very slowly when I have to - over many many years - I’m managing ok for now.
