Need help with HTML code in 'Form Code'

Need help with HTML code in 'Form Code'

pk
pkong 15 Oct, 2010
Hi. I wonder if someone can offer some small help here. Previously I have been using Chronoforms for joomla 1.0X. I now of course designed my website in joomla 1.5X, I tried to copy and paste the HTML code from the 'From Code' from old joomla to new joomla:

Here is the HTML code:


<style type="text/css">
<!--

.style_title {
	font-size: 18px;
	font-family: Verdana;	
}
-->
</style>
<span class="style_title">Please Complete:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
</span>
<?php
global $database;
$query = "SELECT DISTINCT m.maid, m.make FROM #__ezautos_make AS m ORDER BY m.make";
$database->setQuery($query);
$makes = $database->loadObjectList();
//print_r($_REQUEST);
$make_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'make', '' );
$model_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'model', '' );
$derivative_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'derivative', '' );
$year_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'year', '' );
?>
<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5" class="myForm">

  <tr>
    <td colspan="2"><span class="style3">*</span> Field Required</td>
  </tr>
</table>


When I save it, it returns almost a blank page and nothing is saved.

I discovered that if I paste from:


<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5" class="myForm">
  <tr>
    <td valign="top"><strong>  Your Details </strong></td>
    <td> </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td width="255" valign="top"><span class="style3">*</span> Title:</td>
    <td width="251"><select name="Title" id="Title">
      <option value="">Select</option>
      <option value="Mr">Mr</option>
      <option value="Mrs">Mrs</option>
      <option value="Miss">Miss</option>
      <option value="Ms">Ms</option>
    </select>


into the 'Form Code' then it works. But I want to include the code below before the <table> tag.


<style type="text/css">
<!--

.style_title {
	font-size: 18px;
	font-family: Verdana;	
}
-->
</style>
<span class="style_title">Please Complete:</span><br />
<br />
<br />
</span>
<?php
global $database;
$query = "SELECT DISTINCT m.maid, m.make FROM #__ezautos_make AS m ORDER BY m.make";
$database->setQuery($query);
$makes = $database->loadObjectList();
//print_r($_REQUEST);
$make_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'make', '' );
$model_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'model', '' );
$derivative_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'derivative', '' );
$year_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'year', '' );
?>


What's the best way to include the above codes into the first part of the codes ie. before <table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5" class="myForm">

Thanks

Hi pkong,

Put the CSS snippets like this one:

.style_title {
   font-size: 18px;
   font-family: Verdana;   
}
into the Form CSS box (and delete the style tags)

Add this line after the first <?php tag
if ( !$mainframe->isSite() ) { return; }


Update the old Joomla! 1.0 mos. . . methods to the Joomla! 1.5 equivalents (there are some updating guides on the Joomla! docs site I think).

That should get the form to a stage where you can debug the rest.

Do you mean:


<?php
if ( !$mainframe->isSite() ) { return; }
global $database;
$query = "SELECT DISTINCT m.maid, m.make FROM #__ezautos_make AS m ORDER BY m.make";
$database->setQuery($query);
$makes = $database->loadObjectList();
//print_r($_REQUEST);
$make_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'make', '' );
$model_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'model', '' );
$derivative_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'derivative', '' );
$year_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'year', '' );
?>


It did not work. It returns a blank page

Hi. I entered


<span class="style_title">Please Complete:</span><br />

<?php
if ( !$mainframe->isSite() ) { return; }
global $database;
$query = "SELECT DISTINCT m.maid, m.make FROM #__ezautos_make AS m ORDER BY m.make";
$database->setQuery($query);
$makes = $database->loadObjectList();
//print_r($_REQUEST);
$make_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'make', '' );
$model_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'model', '' );
$derivative_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'derivative', '' );
$year_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'year', '' );
?>

<table border="0" align="center" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="5" class="myForm">
  <tr>

    <td> </td>
  </tr>
  <tr>

Hi pkong,

Sure but you still haven't upgraded your PHP to Joomla! 1.5. The basic database syntax is now
$db =& JFactory::getDBO();
$query = "
    SELECT ``
        FROM `#__`
        WHERE `` = '' ;
";
$db->setQuery($query);
$data = $db->loadObjectList();
//$data = $db->loadResult();
And not much of this will work any more
$make_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'make', '' );
$model_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'model', '' );
$derivative_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'derivative', '' );
$year_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'year', '' );
as the mos. . . methods are no longer supported.

Hi! Can you help as I have zero knowledge in php programming.


<?php
global $database;
$query = "SELECT DISTINCT m.maid, m.make FROM #__ezautos_make AS m ORDER BY m.make";
$database->setQuery($query);
$makes = $database->loadObjectList();
//print_r($_REQUEST);
$make_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'make', '' );
$model_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'model', '' );
$derivative_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'derivative', '' );
$year_querystring = mosGetParam( $_REQUEST, 'year', '' );
?>


and can you help to rewrite the code so that joomla 1.5 understands it. Many thanks

Hi pkong,

I'm not clear why you expect me to upgrade your code for you? This isn't a ChronoForms question and it looks like a commercial site, the right answer is to find a Joomla!/PHP developer to work with you.
