zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.19 (old version)

Can you give more details about how you installed the plugins (which steps you took, links/tabs you clicked etc) and which page is blank?

Bronwyn · 2007-05-17 01:03:48

From http://textpattern.org/plugins/701/zem_contact_reborn I click on the download link.
That opens http://vanmelick.com/txp/zem_contact_reborn.php and I copy the entire block of text.
I paste that into the Install Plugin textbox under the Admin > Plugins tab in the Textpattern admin interface.
I click the Upload button and wait a bit.
Then I get a completely blank page that I can’t even view source on.

I’ve been installing several other plugins with basically the same process. With them, after hitting Upload, I get a page showing the code on top, and the help at the bottom, with an Install button.

It seems to be choking while uploading the plugin to the server.

I’m guessing that’s a mod_security related issue on the webserver itself, because at that point the plugin itself is still treated as a bit of text. Does it help if you paste only lines that contain the actual code (not the description lines at the top?)

Nope, leaving out the commented lines doesn’t make a darn bit of difference.

In the meantime, I installed another contact form plugin, because I only need a simple contact form for this site, to avoid giving out an email address. I would definitely like to know if we can figure out what went wrong, since I’m likely to be setting up some more Txp sites that could use something fancier.

If you paste the plugin code in a new TXP article (on the write tab) and save it, does that also give a blank page, or does that save without a problem (this is just to test if it’s rejected during the save/upload phase).

zem_contact-0.6.txt which came with a theme I got somewhere. I’ve noticed if I use a select list as one of the items in a set of contact fields that information does not get sent, but all the other fields do.

I’m quite getting into this Textpattern thing, I can see it’s going to save me lots of time, compared to writing my own basic CMS which is what I used to do.

I’ve just noticed you can edit the plug in code so I hope to hack this to work the way I want. Also the submit button is impossible to nail with your CSS selectors (without catching other stuff). I guess I’ll give it an id attribute. Let’s see if I can sort it out.

This is the support thread for the zem_contact_reborn plugin, not the zem_contact plugin :)

Sorry, I thought it was the same.

I hope I can just use this reborn version in exactly the same way.

I’ll download it now and see it if works.

See I’m new to Textpattern and I’m late with my schedule in producing the site I’m working on so I’m doing everything in big rush.

I don’t read instructions I just hack things together and try and force it to work as fast as I can. My life depends on how fast I can do things.

Yep, I get a blank page on that too. Perhaps it’s just really long, and my low-end shared hosting plan gives up? I’ve posted stuff that’s 30kb before, but not longer, as far as I know.

I recommend contacting your webhost about this problem.

Ruud, wonder if you can help with something – I have a new site with a ZCR form that is used to submit registrations for events. I would prefer that the site owner does not have to fiddle around with the form in order to enter all the event names (in a select drop down box).

All the events are stored in the “events” section. Is there a way to get all the article titles from the events section into the form automatically?

ruud · 2007-05-28 21:32:56

Something like this (not tested):

<txp:php>
  $events = safe_column('Title', 'textpattern', "Section='events' AND Posted < NOW() AND Status=4");
  $list = join(',', $events);
  echo zem_contact_select(array('name' => 'event, 'list' => $list));
</txp:php>

Beware of commas and quotes in article titles.
