CMS Made Simple Forums

I'm continually having problems getting externally generated forms to work.

I turn WYSIWYG off and paste the code in html form then submit the page but CMSMS changes the code which prevents the forms from working.

It was suggested that I place {literal} and {/literal} tags at each end of the code but this didn't work.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

You should switch off your WYSIWYG editor for this work. If you are ready, dont touch this pages once again ...

Any reason you don't use form builder, I've already converted 2 of my clients to it and they are finding it more powerful then the ones they paid for?...

So you're saying I need to turn off Tiny MCE, add the form code to the page and then never touch that page again?

That's a bit tricky when it's a competition page which gets updated twice a month.

Hi Mark

"form builder"?

Can you expand a little on that please?

Another option could be to put the form in a Global Content Block or move the form to the template.

Btw. in admin it's possible to deactivate WYSIWYG for Global Content Blocks.

Thanks cyberman

I think I'll try form builder first and if that fails come back to the other options.
