custom forms - data collection

[NedTinlin]

Hi I wonder if anyone can help. I have downloaded this form and added it to my site http://www.jcraftz.co.uk/index.php?m...ge=send_direct. I would however like it to be an HTTPS page because ioof the nature of the information names and addresses etc. I have tried adding the code as suggested in this thread http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=100796 which worked and ensured the form was secure. But then the form would not send because it would not validate. I removed the code
//force redirect to secure page
if($_SERVER['SERVER_PORT'] != '443') { header('Location: https://'.$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']); exit(); }
and the form worked again.
Can anyone help? I would rather that this form was sent securely. While I have the begging bowl out I wonder if anyone could possibly point me to a way of defaulting an item in the shopping cart to a field in this form.

Thanks in advance
Ned

Well I have solved the validation problem. I should have put the code to redirect on the template for the form and not the form itself. I even managed to get the form to redirect correctly after submitting by copying some code from the shopping cart page. I feel so smug now.
However, I would still like to be able to default some fields in the form so if anyone out there knows how to do that Please let me know.

Well folks I have followed this tread closely but have one little question on the successful completion of the form and email process how can I add a link to either a category or product. We have several products that require a lot of information before purchase and after the form is complete we need to send the customer to a hidden product or category. How and where can I accomplish this.

If I recall correctly, (I've not looked at this code in ages) after the zen_mail() function call, there is a zen_redirect() call. Change that call to go to the page you desire.

Or, if there is a "thank you your message has been sent" page, add your link to that thank-you text. (this requires no "programming")

Well it is your code so I am sure you are correct I will tinker with it a bit more.
