Forms module is missing data

Post by yer-dua »

I just set up a new site and am using the forms module to create forms and collect user information.  I tested it a number of times and keep getting an error message in the same place (I've got 3 different forms that collect similar information):

This message was written in a character set (utf-8) other than your own.
If it is not displayed correctly, click here to open it in a new window.


Form Name: Events Form: Other Folks
Submission Date: Wed, 26 Oct 2005 19:43:37 -0500
Submission Host: elriosf.org
Submission Source:
-------------------------------
Name (contact person):: Audrey
Phone number: 4444444444
Email address:: (unspecified)
Event date:: $event_

and so it appears that it has to do with the Utf-8 encoding, but when i click to read it still is missing some 20 odd questions.

any ideas?? i will be collecting information through my mailbox....

thanks!!

Is this error message coming from your email program? Or is it happening when the user submits the form?

I have a beta version of the next Feedback Form module available.

If you're interested in testing, please check http://www.cmsmodules.com/uploads/modul ... ta3.tar.gz

Let me know if you run into any problems with it!

Thanks

so i tried out the new forms module--i got an error message:
Feedback Form Error: Language string failed to load: recipients_failedbooking@elriosf.org

and when i went to look at the field that executes this i found that the template was only half:
Form Name: $sub_form_name
Submission Date: $sub_date
Submission Host: $sub_host
Submission Source: $sub_source_ip
-------------------------------
Name (contact person):: $name
Phone number: $phone_number
Email address:: $email
Event date:: $event_


a full template would be:
Form Name: $sub_form_name
Submission Date: $sub_date
Submission Host: $sub_host
Submission Source: $sub_source_ip
-------------------------------
Name (contact person):: $name
Phone number: $phone_number
Email address:: $email
Event date:: $event_date
Event time from:: $event_time
Event time to:: $event_time
Number of folks expected:: $number_of
Cover charge:: $cover_charge
Bands (List names, web links and give a three word description for the night):: $bands_list
Sound needs:: $sound_needs
Tell us how you plan on promoting your show:: $tell_us_how
Any other stuff we should know?: $any_other
Mail It!: $mail_it

Any suggestions?

I ran into the same problem, only part of the message was send. After editing the template a part was cut off everytime i reopened it.

So i took a look in the database, and the template field is a varchar of 255 characters :-) Changed it too longtext, problem solved. Im using the latest beta.

Another bug

Post by Bram »

Another bug that might fit this thread:

It seems that when using pagebreaks only the first page is sent correctly to my email adres. Variables on other pages give '(unspecified)'. Moving pagebreaks up or down sometimes doesnt seem to work. When i add a new pagebreak it doesnt place at at the bottom, but one or more places up.

Some small feature requeste:
-Button to insert new formitem 'here' on every row.
-Possibility to move items after next or before previous pagebreak (handy for big forms).

I can see that you have put a tremendous amount of effort in this module, so i cannot thank you enough. It is very well thought out.

maria bonita_name Field: Company Name

$email Field: Email Addres Text
$email Field: Email Address

$interested Field: Interested in text
