Sorry Janb, that's my fault...as I said i've got 2 forms on 2 pages, to test all options, this is the write to file xml form and the variables were based on this.

(Update)

Hi all,

Ok, so i've created a new email to form with just a message box and a disposition field to my email.  I've then created this on a new page using the default NCleanBlue template and it comes straight through!

I've added my form.css my layout.css and any other additional stylesheets i was using 1 by 1 and it's still ok, as soon as I add the test form to my template, it doesn't send, are there any obvious no-no's when creating templates that I need to be aware of with formbuilder?

[janb]

as soon as I add the test form to my template

Added the form to a template? Which template?

JanB

[stealer]

Yeah, I have had nothing but problems with Formbuilder. I finally got it working a year ago when I had a friend do the CSS, whcih I never could figure out. It is the hardest, least intuitive form thingy I have ever seen. MInd you, it is really good at making and manipulating fields, but thats where it stops. Wait until you want to build a lengthy form and try to style it. Thats a whole lot of fun. Oh yeah.

Anyhow, I did an upgrade of CMSMS, and it stopped working... Now I am having the same issues you are.

Thanks for your post lexscripta, it's nice to know it's not just me.

this is my template,

{process_pagedata}



{sitename} - {title}
{metadata}








 

   

     

 
     

     
   

 

   

     
     
   

 

   


     

   

{FormBuilder form='test'}

     
   


 
   








         

   






It's pretty basic and i've not attached any stylesheets to it, still doesn't work, here's the xml form again,  just a basic message box with a send to field





















function fbht(htid)
{
var fbhtc=document.getElementById(htid);
if (fbhtc)
{
if (fbhtc.style.display == 'none')
{
fbhtc.style.display = 'inline';
}
else
{
fbhtc.style.display = 'none';
}
}
}

As I said before, I can include the {FormBuilder form='test'} into NCleanBlue template and it's fine, add it to my now stripped down own template and squat.

Once again, thanks all.

[Rolf]

You always need to put one {content} tag in your template.
Put the {Formbuilder} tag in the content of the page.

Rolf 

[janb]

YES

Was about to write that Rolf.

Leave the template as it is with the {content} tag.
You can of course write your own template but place the form tag into a content page. In that way the form is within the {content} tag.

Rolf 

Thanks Rolf,

I stripped out everything to make the template more readable but you're right.  It now works but only if I have the tag {content assign=pagecontent} on my page.

[stealer]

Actually it also works with just the {content} tag in place, but that also adds some old content from a previous test site.  Everyone, I can't thank you enough for all your help...It's true what they say, a 2nd, 3rd or even 4th pair of eyes really can help.

[janb]

Glad you got it to work at last

Don't forget to add [Solved] to the subject..
