Forums

Just downloaded this component and it looks pretty cool, however, I'm stumbling on my first little test. No matter what I try, I can't get the form to submit in either IE7 or Firefox 2.0. I click on submit, nothing happens.

I've searched thru the forums and followed instructions, making sure no other form tags exist.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

Here's the link to the form:

Here's the html code for the form.

<table width="190" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
<tr><td width="72">
<p align="left">Name:</p>
</td>
<td>
<div align="right">
<input type="text" name="name" size="16" /></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td width="72">
<p align="left">Email:</p>
</td>
<td>
<div align="right">
<input type="text" name="email" size="16" /></div>
</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2">
<div align="center">
<input type="button" name="Submit" value="Submit">
</div>
</td>
</tr></table>

You defined your submit button wrong.

You have:

<input type="button" name="Submit" value="Submit">

Should be:

<input type="submit" name="Submit" value="Submit">

Many thanks for your prompy reply. That was it!

I had pulled that form from a previous website and missed that submit button problem.

I'm pleased with how this component works, though I am a little confused with the multiple email/subject fields on the general tab in the admin area. The first ones' tool tip reference a 'custom' option above, which I do not see.

Lastly, I tried using the create table function, but I received a MYSQL error message when I press the create table button. error near 'ENGINE = MYISAM'

Quick update - I found the solution to the create table issue.

Now the only remaining issue I'm running into is no subject line in the emails that get delivered. I'm trying to use 'SRS email submission' but it does not work.

Hi,

The 'custom option' is a leftover in the help text from v1.7 the custom option was taken out in v2.0.

The ENGINE problem is I think a bug with MySQL 3.0 - to fix it did you replace ENGINE with TYPE ?

Don't know about the e-mail subject - where are you entering 'SRS email submission'?

Bob,

Thanks for the reply. I did replace ENGINE with TYPE, worked fine. This server has an old version of mySQL 3.23.

There are two places that I have entered 'SRS email submission' (without the quotes): Email Subject: & Subject field:

Thanks

Hi,

it should be only at the Email Subject: , what subject do you get ?

I figured it out now, thanks for the help. I was not getting anything in the subject line. Once I cleared out the 'Subject Field' it worked fine. I did not realize that the software was expecting a form field there, kinda dense on my part.

I must remember, coffee first, then work starts......

I am pretty new to joomla and not a pro at html.

My submit button for the form on this page - http://volcho.volcho.org/index.php?option=com_facileforms&Itemid=38 - doesnt work at all. Does anyone have any clue as to what can be done? Thanks.

Hi Clem,

That's not a ChronoForms form - it's from Facile Forms. Perhaps better to ask in their forums.

Bob

Thanks..how lost could I have been!!!!
