custom forms - data collection

I've attached my form module based on Band_Signup 1.3. Maybe this will help someone.

rsigmon, do you have a web site we can take a peek at it in action?

I'll post a link once the form page goes live. Right now I'm waiting on corporate approval for some of the text on it.

It was that sneaky <br class="clearBoth" /> that was missing from under each "box".

That being said, the package is attached if anyone has special order requests that are used on their site.

Anyone have ideas or suggestions how I can make the "What is a UPC Code" a popup window?

The "What is a UPC Code" links seem to have problems. The first and third ones open in new windows, but are the wrong page. The second one goes to the right page, but doesn't open in a new window.

In the readme I mentioned that those links would have to be changed. If I knew how or had someone tell me I'd make them popup windows of a UPC code.

But that's a bit beyond me.

I was talking about the "UPC" links on your website, not in your template file. :smile:

Fixed! Thanks for the note and the PM.

Now, if I can just do the popup window it'd be pretty cool.

My custom form is now live, so here's a link to it:

Looks great, I think I am going to experiment with this for a link submission form for my links page.

Thanks for your help
let me know if you find mistakes

and for sure special thanks to the Dr for the hard work

Any body can help me with another form that has some radio buttons?
i asked there
Thanks in advance

Anyone?

I tried using formsite.com and that is what i got
https://www.serioussecurityonline.com/ma/ma.html

How can i keep this form on my site with

1. Required fields
2. Submit to my site

If anyone can help how to do it even without installing it within the site (in a blank space - like contact us) just like the link above.

Thanks in advance

It takes many many many hours to design a custom form to collect and validate data. Each case is unique, but the concepts are pretty much always the same ... and are outlined in the previous 90 posts, along with sample code.

If you are uncomfortable with making the changes to adapt it to your own use, perhaps posting for paid assistance in the Commercial Help Wanted area may be of benefit to you.

Dr
Thanks for your response
I will try to do it myself and if I wont be able to I will consider using the paid help (didn’t know there is).
I thought that if I already have the form and just would like to make the submit and requireds fields to work with the site - it is not much work

Thank you

Should this special order work with 1.3.8? When I installed all the files and put link in "more information" sidebox it show there as SIDEBOX_LINK_TEXT_specialorder
and the link address is: main_page=FILENAME_specialorder
(when I specify address main_page=specialorder, form shows up.
Thanks

O.K. for those who may run into the same problem with Form_specialorder as I did:

to include it in information box this is in the instruction in the read me file:
$information[] = '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_specialorder) . '">' . SIDEBOX_LINK_TEXT_specialorder . '</a>';

Just remove FILENAME_

in /indludes/languages/english/extra_definitions/specialorder.php
replace this;
define('SIDEBOX_LINK_TEXT_BAND_SIGNUP','Special Order Request');
WITH THIS:
define('SIDEBOX_LINK_TEXT_specialorder','Special Order Request');
