Hi,

just started to work on my forms... love it...

Would you have a sample post that shows a server side validation (name, phone,em ail, etc) for a contact page ? i searchedt he forums, but couldnt find anything.

Also I would like to display an alert box or message on a next page that shows "Message sent, thank you", but I couldnt quite figure out the post in the form that talked about it...
Would you have a tutorial for this ?

Hi busch09,

1) There's a sample serverside validation just below the input box.

You can add more like that -- except that the message returned will only refer to the first error found. You can string several validations together by collecting error messages into an array. If you search here you'll find that code.

2) Any HTML (or PHP) that you put in the OnSubmit boxes will be displayed as a Thank You message after the form is submitted on the blank page they you currently see.

Hi,

1. which input box ? Why not post a tutorial ?

2. where do I find the code I need to extend ?

Hi busch09,

1. which input box ?

Well, strange as it may seem, the server-side validation input box.

Why not post a tutorial ?

Good question, please do.

2. where do I find the code I need to extend ?

Is this still a question about serverside validation? - then I guess searching the forums on serverside validation would be a good place to start.

you guys a really funny, guess ill look for another forms manager...

Hi busch09,

That's cool. I think that Phil Taylor may have a sale on this weekend; the others are listed here.

how do i get my 25 bucks back ?

Hi busch09,

The money has nothing to do with me I'm afraid.

But seeing as you bought the product you might as well try it. If you ask short clear questions here I'll do my best to answer them for you.

Hello Bob,

guess we got caught in a flame war...🙂
I actually like to product I just think it would be helpful for people who have just bought the product to make the inplementation easier for them.

Ill try to post a more detailed question later today.

Hi busch09,

Thanks, there are four or five basic tutorials from the tutorial link above. That's enough to get you started. After that there is a lot of flexibility. Some of the important information is on ToolTips (and help tabs for the plugins). And there are 12,000 (mostly) helpful posts in the forums here that cover just about every topic.

I am writing the ChronoForms book - currently up to around 250 pages, that goes into a lot more detail . . . but that's still a while away from publication I'm afraid.
