custom forms - data collection

[dw08gm]

I have created a supplier registration form based on this mod, where the only remaining problem is getting the Country to display as its Name rather than its Number (eg "Australia" rather than "13") after selection from the Country dropdown menu.

Rather than post the entire files, references to Country are as follows:

includes/modules/pages/supplier_registration/header_php.php

Line 33
$country = '';

After if (isset($_GET['action']) && ($_GET['action'] == 'send')) {
Line 61
$country = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['zone_country_id']);

After // BOF Error Messages
Line 111
if (!zen_not_null($country)) {
$error = true;
$messageStack->add('supplier_registration', 'Please select your country');
}

After //assemble the email contents:
Line 203
'country:' . "\t" . $country . "\n" .

includes/templates/your_template/tpl_supplier_registration_default.php

After <fieldset>
Line 76
<label class="inputLabel" for="country"><?php echo ENTRY_COUNTRY; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_get_country_list('zone_country_id', $selected_country, 'id="country" ') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_COUNTRY_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_COUNTRY_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>

What have I done wrong?

TIA

Bump.

While I am sure the problem lies with the zone_country_id, changing this to country_name, as well as changing numerous other variants in the code, has not yet produced the desired effect - display of country name in the email.

I feel Wits End is fast approaching.

Bump, anyone, please!!!

How to add country dropdown that returns the country name, rather than country_id number, in email forms (eg band_signup).

Further to my posts above, I think I have a solution. Although not thoroughly tested, eg text vs html emails, the country name now appears as such in Email Archive Manager. If anyone has a better solution, please post.)

A. In includes\functions\html_output.php, towards the end of the file and immediately before

/*
 * Assesses suitability for additional parameters such as rel=nofollow etc
 */

add

/*
 * Creates a pull-down list of countries names (and extract country name)
 */
  function zen_get_country_listname($name, $selected = '', $parameters = '') {
    $countries_array = array(array('id' => '', 'text' => PULL_DOWN_DEFAULT));
    $countries = zen_get_countries();

    for ($i=0, $n=sizeof($countries); $i<$n; $i++) {
      $countries_array[] = array('id' => $countries[$i]['countries_name'], 'text' => $countries[$i]['countries_name']);
    }

    return zen_draw_pull_down_menu($name, $countries_array, $selected, $parameters);
  }

Notes A:
1. This code is a copy of the preceeding function zen_get_country_list, except 'countries_id' is replaced by 'countries_name'.
2. There is no override for includes\functions\html_output.php, therefore upon upgrade, the new file may have to be edited accordingly.
3. Ideally this code would be placed in either includes\modules\pages\your_page\header_php.php or includes\templates\your_template\templates\tpl_your_page_default.php, but I am unsure about the placement. Anyone?

B. In includes\modules\pages\your_page\header_php.php, after

  if (isset($_GET['action']) && ($_GET['action'] == 'send')) {

add (or change to)

    $country = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['countries_name']);

C. In includes\templates\your_template\templates\tpl_your_page_default.php, amongst the list of <labels>
add (or change to)

<label class="inputLabel" for="country"><?php echo ENTRY_COUNTRY; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_get_country_listname('countries_name', $selected_country, 'id="country"') . (zen_not_null(ENTRY_COUNTRY_TEXT) ? '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_COUNTRY_TEXT . '</span>': ''); ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

Notes B and C:
1. If adding (rather than replacing) the code from steps B and C, you will need to add the other bits of code as per the above quoted post.

I want to share my custom form with a customer upload. This custom form was made for my sellers to submit their products to us to sell.

1. This uses a custom form created from the "band signup"
2. A popup window created with a generator
3. An additional program called "upload-point"
4. Set up additional check to make sure customer uploads file
5. It emails me that a product is submitted - but requires the customer to enter the file name.
6. It puts the uploaded files in a folder named "files" with the original file name, not a zencart renumbered file name.
7. The popup window asks for the file, then shows the file being uploaded, then is reported that the file has been uploaded successfully.

Take a look creativelearnables.com/index.php?main_page=submit_product . You can try it with a small image or text file to see how it works.

I was just so excited, I had to share.

If anyone is interested in making a form like this, let me know.

[dw08gm]

I am interested, particularly the upload file part.

Can only one file be uploaded per form, or can it handle multiple file uploads with (say) advice of the filenames in the comments section?

Does it come with an auto-complete function, for those already with an account?

The Upload-Point is quite cool. I changed it to only upload one file, but it is set up for 5. It also has even more options, such as allowing the customer to see their uploaded files, delete, rename, file size and other options.

I used this in a popup window on my custom form.

Sounds great.. Ever give any thought of bundling this up and submitting it as a contribution or even bundling it up and posting it to this thread.. I certainly would be interested in a form like this..

I will try to get it together today and post it here. I am not a php wizard to answer lots of "how it works" problems, but I can try.

The reason I posted about it is because you see lots of people here looking for something like this and thought it might be helpful.

[ladybugmom]

I hope this works for everyone. Please read the READ ME FIRST file, it gives you complete directions on how to install this form and needed changes to make it work correctly.

Since the UPLOAD-POINT file is to big for me to include in the total set up, you need to download it from here and upload it on your server first then upload my files. My files will overwrite 4 files in the "upload" folder.

If you have questions, I am very limited in my knowledge of php, but I will try to do my best.
