I’ve noticed this problem as well. I’m wondering if this is a side affect of inline construction/Backdraft. Can anyone confirm or deny this happening for a non-Backdraft website?
This happens whenever Freeway loses track of Action-published files. The trick to get around it is to delete everything from your Site Folder, and allow Freeway to publish again completely.

I’ve tried this, but it doesn’t always fix the problem. Sometimes I’ll clear out the Site Folder, then Freeway will regenerate 3-10 of the SendForm PHP files in one go.
I think this is one of the benefits of NOT using an action - Freeway Pro
rarely gets confused when you just ask it to include the code you’ve
written as a markup or extended bit. It doesn’t read it or interpret it or
do anything else but place it exactly where you’ve asked it to.
I would have thought you guys would be rolling your own forms
Hi Justin,
Do you have the Action applied to the page or an item? If it is an item is it an inflow item? I had a similar issue with the PHP Feedback Form Action creating multiple -go.php files and I traced it back to applying the Action to inflow items in the page. The solution? I stopped users applying the Action to inflow items!
Try applying the Action to the page and see if that helps.
Regards,
Tim.

Yes - its embarrassing too if other people look! Anyone found a work around yet?
Generally I’d always recommend you apply Actions as low down the food chain and as close to the item you want to alter as you can but in this case if applying the item to the page corrects the issue then do it. The only downside of applying the Action to the page will be that you can’t have more than one ‘Send Form’ item on the page.
Regards,
Tim.

Yes I do! I thought there was a downside to applying to the page? No?
I likely won’t push out an update until I collect a few more bugs - thanks to the nature of Freeway templates, updates are a lot of work for both my customers and myself and it makes more sense to do fewer big releases than a lot of small ones.
Also, I’m kind of torn on this issue. While I hate the extra PHP files, modules should be self contained to reduce confusion and increase portability. Then, there’s the fact that the Send Form action - if applied to the page - means that there can only be one form per page and can cause conflicts with other form-related stuff.
What I’ll probably do is create a “Known Bugs and Fixes” page on the documentation site later today where I’ll cover stuff like this in more detail.
