Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
I’ve got two questions on the “reborn” contact form.
1. After the form is processed is there any way to take you either to a page with just the “thank you” message or a way to simply display the “thank you” message above the form where your error messages are? I’m just being nit picky here, but you can see in these two previews: <a href=“http://www.deronsizemore.com/images/preview1.gif”>Preview 1</a> and <a href=“http://www.deronsizemore.com/images/preview2.gif”>Preview 2</a>. After the form is submitted it takes you to the “thank you” page (preview 2) which still has the “Note: all fields are required..” message at the bottom as well as my message in the right hand side of the page. These two things are not major issues, I was just curious if there is a work around?
2. The second thing is, am I missing it, or are there no class added to input when required=“no”, as there is when required=“yes”? I’ve got one more input field I’d like to add but it wont be required, and when it’s added the input field is smaller then the others because I’ve changed the width in the CSS for the required=“yes” ones using the zemRequired class.

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
For your first problem can you show me the code for your form please.
The second problem. No, the additional classes are only added for “required=yes”. This is to enable people to maybe use bold text for the labels and maybe use a different border or background colour for the input boxes, however this is an extra class and all labels and inputs have a class or id of their own already. If what you want is to set the length of the input box why don’t you use the attribute “size=40” in each of the input tags? Wouldn’t matter if they were required or not then.

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
Sorry about that. I normally try to supply the code, but forgot. This is the code from my form and I’m using the reborn plugin.
<txp:zem_contact to="deronsideronsizemore.com”>@<br />
<p><txp:zem_contact_text required="yes" label="Name:" /></p><br />
<p><txp:zem_contact_email required="yes" label="E-Mail:" /></p><br />
<p><txp:zem_contact_text required="yes" label="Subject:" /></p><br />
<p><txp:zem_contact_textarea required="yes" label="Message:" /></p><br />
<p><txp:zem_contact_submit label="Send" /></p><br />
</txp:zem_contact>
<br />
As for the second problem I could definitely do that. I didn’t realize you could use the “size” attribuite though. I’ve been trying to add a class to the txp input tag this whole time and banging my head on the wall cause nothing happens when I try to apply styles to that class. I’ll try the size attribute. I’m sure that will work.

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
The “size” attribute is all I bother with on both thebombsite and my test site. Saves messing around with CSS.
I think the problem with your “Note” is that it is outside the tags. Try placing it just above that closing <code></txp:zem_contact></code> tag. That way it should dissappear along with the form when your “Thank you” message is displayed.

… euh for french people and other ones ;-)
For the acces to thebombsite, you must “rewrite” clean url in your browser and use messy url.
For exemple here is the link to download zem_contact_reborn and so on.

OK thank you, I’ve changed the main link for the plug-in, but have you any idea why this happens and only for certain French visitors?

Hello thebombsite,
well I haven’t any knowledge in the serverside marmelade ;-) but I think there’s here people that can understand what happens.

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
New version .08 with added “copysender” goodness and a fix for the bug which stopped “break” working for the email input.

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
Is it possible to add an error class to form elements that cause an error when the form is submitted? For example, my email address wasn’t formatted correctly and I submitted the form. The error will show up in <code>ul</code> but I’d like to be able to style the offending form element. I hesitate to ask but I don’t have the coding chops to work it out myself.

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
Do you mean the actual inputs? I think this has been mentioned before when I was adding the other classes but I need to learn a bit more before I can mess with “errors” too much. Mind you, as I say, we have others working on this. I’m just doing the simple bits at the moment.

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
Sure, the inputs or their labels, or both. I must say that I really appreciate the work that people put into this (and other) plugins – it makes Textpattern a pleasure to use and participate in.

Well it’s on the “list” but please don’t hold your breath unless you are extremely good at it. ;)
