input forms

[StevenWWinters]

So if I can't get forms2go to work with Xara I have a hard choice to make - I have couple of weeks window whilst my client is on Holiday to resolve this - so any suggestions would be gratefully received.

Do you have an example form you want to integrate that you can post here? If so, someone may be able to assist you with the integration...

Hi Stephen,

Here is a link to a "Splash Page" with a working Form http://www.extra-pension.info/ - I created this with Sitespinner Pro and then used Forms2go (www.bebosoft.com) to create the php code which was then uploaded to the site hosted by Go Daddy.

The reason I would like to continue to use forms2go is I have paid for it and I don't want to have to incur more expense by moving to another paid service.

If you have got PHP code, or other code that you need to insert into a page to add a form then you can insert that into a placeholder in Web Designer.

Forms2go (www.bebosoft.com) to create the php code which was then uploaded to the site hosted by Go Daddy.

I think a bit more information on what files and code you get from Forms2Go would be useful here to solve this for you.

Hello Pete - Here are the 2 files Forms2go produce. You first point F2G to the html web site it then saves a settings file then it saves the PHP code that you upload to the host server. As SSP has input forms built in there is no place holder required. what I need to do using Xara is produce a form with some form creation tool - create the html code and parse it with F2G application then place the html code on the ? place Holder or maybe the body/header area then upload the PHP code to the server. - I think F2G has a free trial so you could check it out if you want - The main benefit of doing it this way is as the PHP code is on your host server you are not being charged for every form that is processed and you can process as many as you like and F2G is only $30 so its a money saver!

Help - I tried to upload the files but got message invalid file type

Zip your files then attach them, Geoff.

I have been testing formstack and I am getting a strange result - I have created a contact form and in placeholder I have entered the html code in the body area it all seems fine until I preview the web page the form I just created appears at the bottom as it should (it actually over runs but that can be fixed) but it also then changes the background and places a slightly different form at the top of the page. I have checked and rechecked and I can't fathom out why it should be do this - I attach the .xar file hopefully someone can give some hints!

Haven't tested, but this should work. Position your placeholder where you want the form to appear. In your placeholder, you should only need to put the html between <form> and </form> (including those tags), from the form you created outside of Xara.
