how do i get this to work ?

Hello,

At this moment i have a form setup.
What does work?

The form can be send....
I have a page saying thank you after submitting...
Mail i receive is edited and shows what i want...

What doesn't work?

Well, if i look at the database table i see my 3 test submissions..
But they show as:

Field name Field Data 
cf_id :  3  
uid :  IYTc4MTEzODM4NDk3affb471581d1e293b7bf716c0b38c345  
recordtime :  2010-03-16 - 00:27:01  
ipaddress :  xx.xxx.xxx.xxx  
cf_user_id :  0


The way it looks like that it can never be of any use to me...
Shouldnt it show the full submitted form ?

I also added: text_1,text_2,text_3,text_4,text_5,text_8,date_9,date_10,select_11,text_12
to the dataview fields, but still a big no no.

Second...
when i tested, i as admin received the form results, but why not the submitter?
How or what should i do to so the submitter gets a copy of what he entered in the form?

Hi lidosofia,

For the database problem it looks as though you didn't add the form field columns to the database table. In Create Database you have to select the columns so that the bars are green.

If you want to send an email to the submitter then you have to either:

(a) add a Dynamic To input to the Email Setup you have and put the name of the email input into the box; or

(b) better, create a second Email setup using a Dynamic To.

Hi lidosofia,

Which bit don't you understand?

do you mean that by adding a Dynamic To the submitter automatically gets a copy ?

Hi lidosofia,

Yes, but a bit more than that.

The dynamic elements in the Email Setup allow you to put an input name in there. So if you use a Dynamic To, and you have an 'email' field in your form then that email address will be put into the To field of the email.

You will need to check that there is a valid email in the form input though.

Any sample please....
Or step to step tut....

Hi lidosofia,

There aren't any more steps. Please create a little test form with just an 'email' field and try it.

i got it working but i cant seem to get a email title attached..
the mail i receive as submitter has no subject...

I have Dynamic To,Subject,FromName,FromEmail
But the mail still dont have a subject line...

Whats wrong?

Hi lidosofia,

You haven't put a subject in the 'Subject' box - hard to think of anything else??
