hi
I have now been able to create a subscription form which I would like to publish on our website. However, when I try to send the form (with its data), I only receive the message notification on the second page.
The data which was filled in by the user simply isn't there.
I am sure this is just a small issue which can be solved quite quickly, but sofar I have been unable to find the solution??
Is it a different action that is required and if so, which one??
Cheers
Gino

Gino,
I am no expert by far. But...
If you are using the Settings section to send the email to the USER, make sure you pick from the drop-down the proper TO: field. Or you could actually put the field name in. Example: If the field is Email, Then in the address field for the User Email you would put: {data:email}
The body of the message by default will be {email-content}
This will put all the fields of your form in a table format to email. Make sure you also have done, SAVE DATA as an action on your END PAGE (The last page of your form. All forms require at minimum a Start page and an End page.)
I do not save data to the LOG. I save all form data to a data table which I create through PHPmyAdmin. So I'm not sure, but I would think you either have to save to the LOG or Save to a DATA TABLE for it to properly work.
Good luck,
Donna

thank you for your reply and assistance
To be clear, I don't want to send the data to the user, but to the webmaster. He needs the data which was filled in on form
I used on the page one the {email_content} which gave me indeed all the fields of the form, but none of the data.. Probably I need to, as per your suggestion, to save the data on the end_page??
Your suggestion to save the data to a seperately created table appeals to me.
Any specifics on the layout of the table (fields etc )??
as a sidenote: I think chronoforms is a damn good program but it lacks documentation. Fortunately there are people (like yourself) who are willing to help out..

gvannauw,
You must Save the Data and the Email function from what I can tell MUST be on your end page. All forms must be at minimum two pages. The last page is your end page. This is where you put the SAVE DATA and EMAIL.
So your end page would be:
Switch it to the Actions - Add the SAVE Data - Add the Email (found under the Basic)
Fill out the send to with your webmaster email address.
Indeed some instructions like a manual would be nice and especial if it were written in a form that can be easily understood by a layman. I too, am just learning by the seat of my pants and by help from others on this forum. I've gotten everything recreated from my old CF6 forms EXCEPT some special functions which I cannot figure out how to do with this new CF7.
Good luck and let us know if it works.
