Can you switch your website to ‘debug’ mode (in the admin preferences) and provide an URL to the form?

cmscritic · 2009-09-02 18:16:40

I have switched to debug mode. The form is at http://www.thatcriticguy.com/contact/

Hi Ruud,

Thanks for your help. I’ve switched to ‘debugging’, here’s a link to the form as it appears in one of the articles. Let me know if you need anything else.

ruud · 2009-09-02 18:19:26

decoderltd: you’re loading a random article on that page. When you click the send_article link, it simply loads a new article. Try using the form on an individual article page. You could still link from a section page as you do now, but link the ?zem_contact_send_article=yes part to the individual article page.

Mike, try adding the following just above the zem_contact tags in the template:

<pre><txp:php>var_dump($_POST);</txp:php></pre>

Then submit a form. You should see extra information showing up on the screen above the form. What does it show?
Which plugins do you have installed (could you post your diagnostics)?

Thanks Rudd, that all makes perfect sense now. At the moment most pages are rendered using a single form that displays content according to section, etc – what’s the best way of getting ?zem_contact_send_article=yes onto individual article pages?

ruud · 2009-09-02 18:42:03

decoderltd: No need for that. You just have to add something like this where you currently have your form: <txp:permlink />?zem_contact_send_article=yes
That way, if people click the icon for sending the article, they’re redirected to the individual article page where the form already shows up due to the added query string.

Great, thanks again Ruud, that’s pointed me in the right direction.

Hi,

1. I have a Zem form being used as a simple contact form. I would like to use another form, a feedback form elsewhere on the site, but need to alter the css for the form. It needs to be different than that used for the contact form.
How can you set it to use a different class on the HTML form?

2. Also, I am having trouble injecting injecting a value into the ‘value’ option in the secret tag like this
value=”<txp:ign_user_info type=“name” />”
This should add the name of the logged in user to the value field, but it doesn’t seem to be doing it. Just comes out as blank. Any ideas?

Thanks
Mike

You could use an id on the body tag of the page, perhaps set to the TXP section using this code: <body id="<txp:section />">

Then you can target the form on each page by using the body id selector to identify which page you are on.

2. Also, I am having trouble injecting injecting a value into the ‘value’ option in the secret tag like this
value=”<txp:ign_user_info type=“name” />”

Try using single quotes for the inner pair like this: value="<txp:ign_user_info type='name' />"

[Ruud: no, that wouldn’t work, but you can do it the other way around: single quotes around the txp:ign tag and double quotes around “name”, so the attribute value is parsed. See also my post below for another alternative]

I’d put the entire form inside a <div class=“otherform”> and use that to override the default form style.

You can use it as a container tag:

<txp:zem_contact_secret label="foo"><txp:ign_user_info type="name" /></txp:zem_contact_secret>

Thanks very much for your reply.

Managed to get the secret tag working, however the feedback form doesn’t seem to want to accept the div class i have wrapped around it.

This is what I have:

<div style="float:left; margin:0; display:inline; width:200px;">
<txp:zem_contact_submit>Send question</txp:zem_contact_submit>
</div>

Do i need to wrap my original contact form in a div too?

Cheers
Mike
