Hello Community,

I've just released Advancedform_XH 1beta12. It's available from my website.

I fixed a severe bug (with PHP < 5.3 no field values were sent in the mails!), so updating is recommended!

Besides some minor improvements I've added the danish translation (contributed by maeg), and localizations for the datepicker.

Any further feedback is welcome!

HI,

I'm using Cmsimple XH 1.5.3 and advancedform 1.2Beta. Today I recognized that the"property" button in the form details does not work anymore... Weeks ago it worked... Could someone help me...

I guess you mean Advancedform_XH 1beta12.

It's probably due to a JS error. Please have a look at the error console of your browser: what does it report?

var title = ADVFRM_TX['label_properties'].replace(/%s/, ADVFRM_TX['field_'+type]);

Hi mitch,

ADVFRM_TX is defined in plugins/advancedform/languages/XX.js. This file should automatically be created everytime you visit Advancedform's administration area. Does plugins/advancedform/languages/ has write permissions?

Yes it has write permissions, and it creates a de.js file

Hi mitch,

hmm, this file should be included in the <head> of the page:

Code: Select all

<script type="text/javascript" src="./plugins/advancedform/languages/de.js"></script>
But as
SCRIPT5009: "ADVFRM_TX" ist undefiniert
either the file is not included in the <head> section, or the file doesn't define ADVFRM_TX, or the JS file can't be accessed by the browser due a server side restriction (e.g a .htaccess with "deny from all" in the languages/ folder).

I have managed to get Advancedform_XH on to our site but the forms don't send.
I ended up contacting the host because the send_mail path was set to 'no value'
When I queried this I got the follwing reply....

"This site is running on a Windows Server which does not have support for sendmail.
In order to send mail from your CMS you will need to use the PHP standard 'mail' function"

Any suggestions on what I can do? Can Advancedform_XH be configured to send this way or can someone recommend another formmail plugin?

FYI --- the 'standard' form that ships with CMSimple (runnning CMSimple_XH 1.5.6 Released: 2013-01-27 at the moment) says that a form has been succesfully sent but the email never arrives. I'm guessing this is due to the same 'send_path' issue??

Hi Iain,

the built-in mailform as well as well as Advancedform_XH are using PHP's mail() function. You may concentrate on getting the built-in mailform working first. There were two issues regarding this mailform, that have been fixed in CMSimple_XH 1.5.7. You should try with this version. And please note, that the email address you have to configure in the back-end as well as the sender's email must not contain non ASCII characters (at least that does not work everywhere).
