[Pro] FWP fails to update code on form

This is strange. I am using FWP to create online form to use with Forms To Go. After running in to problem on FTG generated PHP, I find that FTG can not have field names with “-” such as “ProRower-XT”. No problem, I just go back to FWP and change the field names to ones without “-” and tell FWP to republish.

Now the strange part - I go into site folder and use smultron editor to check html page code generated by FWP. All the field names like “ProRower-XT” are still there. I checked the modify time on the file to make sure it is newly created and it is. I have notice on other occasions that FWP gets confused and doesn’t update all the code after changes are made. Does anyone have suggestions on how to force FWP to generate code that matches changes on the screen?

Forget about the Forms to go.

Has anyone had problems with FWP not properly updating code after changes are made?

Sometimes you need to do a ‘Publish Everything’ to flush out stuff.

Hold down the Control key and then File>Publish Everything

If you still dont see your code change after that then submit a report to SP towers.

DelataDave,

Thanks for the advice. I’ve used FWP for 2 years, but I wasn’t aware of the “control key > publish everything” – very handy.

It did publish everything, but unfortunately, FWP is still remembering code from before changes were made. It’s very odd. I’ll try SP towers.

Now think before this occurs, but did you try reapplying the master page to that page (it will erase anything on there as a heads up) or try and duplicate the troubled page and see if the new page that is created has the adjustments made to it.

I’m still working on solving the bug of if you duplicate an existing master, then try and create a page off that master, then the page master it uses is the one you duplicated from or at times a random one.

Oops – My Bad!

I forgot that Check Boxes have both a Title and a Name. In most cases these are not critical and can be the default. However, when creating a Form which will that will call a PHP script on the server (such as created with Forms To Go), it is critical the the Name field does not include a “-” dash. This crashes the PHP.

Also, FTG requires the Name field of a Radio Button to end with “[]” empty brackets.

Once I made these changes, everything worked great.
