Using FP 2003--Built a form with form wizard for customers to input info and choose options to build a product. When they hit 'Submit' (now Next), they are sent to a custom confirmation page that should collect data from form and display for review. Used Web Component | Confirmation Field to enter fields on conf. page titled exactly as on form. Problem is, no information is sent to the conf. form, only the field names appear. Any suggestions?

What are you doing with the data from the form, is it being sent to an email, or is being written to
a file, one of these must be completed before the content is displayed on the confirmation page.

Also you must be testing this on a server that has the FP extensions via your browser, and it has to
have either been created on or published to the server via FP's http mode.

The data from the form is not being sent to an email, I have it configured to send to the confirmation form, designcheck.htm. I'm using FileZilla to publish the pages.

Hi Crumbear,

Ok,

designcheck.htm should be your confirmation page URL not your file destination.

This is why the input isn't getting to the confirmation fields.

In addition, I won't swear to it, but the hidden redirect may be interferring as well.

If you are using the FP Form Handler to process the form -- Confirmation Page then you must publish
the form to a server that has the FP extensions via FP publishing command, http mode not with
FileZilla, second you can not post directly to the Confirmation page.

To what you want requires that you use a custom written form handler written in ASP, PHP, etc. to
accomplish.

The formmail confirmation page is built into the formmail Perl script.
You will need to know Perl to change it, or read the Readme file and include
the additional fields that contain formatting information in your form.

to the formmail conf. page and not the conf. page i designed. At least it
collects the data entered, but i don't like the page layout. I've looked on
the formmail site to see how to try to change it, but i can't even find any
code in the form page to edit. There's nothing in there i can see about the
formmail conf. page, so where is it coming from?

Hi,

I'd recommend that you take a look at FormBreeze
(http://www.formbreeze.com). We use this for all our forms and it is
the best solution I have seen with capabilities way beyond formmail
scrips.

It requires that the form be hosted on formbreeze system, not the actual
website.
