You might use the Developers Tool Kit in the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... and in the bottom input box enter:

Lordy....all of them are table based and not FORMS. Seems you have to redraw every single line. Is there NOT a better way? I still dont see how to get that to REDRAW the whole form without redrawing line by line by line. Way too complicated that way.

Not sure what you mean by table based ...

I am not into forms and I have to do the sleep thing ...

Perhaps someone into forms would like to help you further on this ...

Just looking for a simple replacement for the form action parameter that allows the form to be reloaded after it is submitted.

Zen's design is table oriented or appears to be to me in that it uses form objects in table cells rather than a form itself and uses the draw statement line by line and appears to me by looking at the code, you have to have multiple files to make it work. Way too complicated and there is no SDK to explain how to make that work, so if you do not have in depth knowledge of Zencart's coding structure, it leaves people frustrated when they want to make something like a simple form work, but nothing in the manual or the forum gives a complete answer on how to get it done.

If an SDK were made available for download, I am betting you would see a lot more mods available than we do now.

Does ANYONE have an example on how to create a custom form that will actually run in Zencart? I have so far received incomplete answers and getting frustrated with something that probably has a simple answer.

Basically looking for a SDK or an example of a closely related form that will allow me to create a uploader page where developers can upload mods, themes, and utilities for Arcadem Pro go my website to be offerred for download or purchase.

Basically the form will have file info (file name, description, size, format), name of customer wrote to uploaderID field, date upload.

Really if someone can identify how to make the form action="" execute when I put the form on a custom page same as the pages shown on the custom define pages editor. This way, the page_7 that I am using to show the form on, should reload with this parameter when form contents are submitted.

I have researched and searched to no end and even Googled the web for a solution but can't find any. Someone tried to help me last night, but the directions she was going was not what I was after and way too complicated. So just about begging for help on this.

I have seen all those in that search. They require that a product be created and an upload off the product page. That is not what I want to do. I want to create a separate file upload page. Being stuck with the file attribute manager kind of sucks if that turns out to be the case becase it simply will not work for a software download site like I am building. The page is intended for developers to be able to upload their packages same as they do here on this forum.

I can make a upload page work off the root, but then that raises security issues. I do not want this page to be detected by crawling, so I want to convert my Page 7 to an upload page. However, when the form attempts to reload after submission, it crashes because of permissions. The only website I've seen one working on is no longer running.

Then my suggestion is create a define page with an iframe and load one of many upload php scripts that our out there. The first one that comes to mind is easy php upload.

Except my programming background is not iframes but database and oop...I have no idea how to make that work. One reason why I was asking for working examples. I know someone has to have one.

I think I have finally figured out just exactly how to get this done looking at something I finally found.

I want to put a file called uploader.php in the /modules/<custom directory>.

The question is, how do I write the below statement correctly to call this in my file "tpl_file_uploader_default.php"?

My include line:
include("uploader.php"); // Don't put any HTML above this line or you'll get errors
