I’m doing a site that has a small enquiries form on it. The form is made with ‘Forms To Go’ and I’ve never had any problems with either FTG or Freeway until now.
I’m using Freeway Pro v5.3.2 and FTG v4.2. The problem is that Freeway does not transfer the php file that FTG produces. I’ve never had this problem before. The enquiry.php sits within the correct folder along with enquiry.html, enquiry.ftg, contact.html and others.
The only files that FW does not transfer are enquiry.php and enquiry.ftg
Unless you’ve used an Action like Upload Stuff or Extra Resources to
tell Freeway to upload these files, it won’t ever do it on its own.
Freeway synchronizes your server folder with its internal model of
what the site should contain. It never uploads files it didn’t create
or an Action didn’t tell it to upload.

Moving forward I’d love to see Freeway offer a ‘choose…’ button in the Form Setup dialog as part of the action field. Pressing the button would allow the user to select a local file to upload and process the form data. This would work well with the PHP Feedback Form generated PHP code, Forms to Go, or any other 3rd party processing script for that matter.
No more thinking about relative paths between the form and the processing code, using Upload Stuff actions or manually adding the script mane to the action field.
Well, yes. I did consider this and thought that when creating a new ‘page’ in
the site panel the application could ask what sort of item you wanted;
HTML page,
PHP page,
Form processor,
Picture gallery,
etc. etc.
Each could be a wrapped up component that ‘just works’.I like the idea of adding
‘alien’ content to the site panel though.
Let’s discuss this more ‘elsewhere’.
For the moment adding a ‘choose file’ button to the form setup dialog would
allow users to add their own or 3rd party scripts to the site without having to
set up the form action or upload the file.
