[Solved] Regarding screencast #62 – Advanced form

[jenycz]

Hey Guys –

I’ve worked with jquery and all that jazz many times and have some PHP experience. Anyways, I’m using Chris’s screencast #62 and associated files (jquery.jqtransform.js, jquery.validate.js, jquery.form.js, websitechange.js) and everything was going smoothly in creating my custom for.

I’ve run into one problem – I can’t get the URL of page and Additional URL’s sections to delete and have the script still work!

Code below, if you prefer the test url is http://www.kooziebelt.com/test/index.php

Code:

URL of Page:

Change on multiple pages?

Additional URL’s / Areas:

That’s the actual form where the fields are – notice the changeonmutliple in the middle, that’s fine there – I’ll be changing the name but it can stay.

Code:

// Building a whitelist array with keys which will send through the form, no others would be accepted later on
$whitelist = array(‘token’,’req-name’,’req-email’,’req-phone’, ‘typeOfChange’,’message-subject’,’URL-main’,’addURLS’, ‘curText’, ‘newText’, ‘save-stuff’, ‘mult’);

That’s where it’s brought into the array – I’ve tried just deleting ‘URL-main’ and ‘addURLS’ but then the script doesn’t work right…

Code:

// Lets check the URL whether it’s a real URL or not. if not, stop the script

if(!filter_var($_POST[‘URL-main’],FILTER_VALIDATE_URL)) {
writeLog(‘URL Validation’);
die(‘Hack-Attempt detected. Please insert a valid URL’);
}

I think this is where it validates the URL, not sure if I need to delete that or not…

Code:

// PREPARE THE BODY OF THE MESSAGE

$message = ‘‘;
$message .= ‘‘;
$message .= ‘

‘;
$message .= “

“;
$message .= “

“;
$message .= “

“;
$message .= “

“;
$message .= “

“;
$message .= “

“;
$addURLS = $_POST[‘addURLS’];
if (($addURLS) != ”) {
$message .= “

“;
}
$curText = htmlentities($_POST[‘curText’]);
if (($curText) != ”) {
$message .= “

“;
}
$message .= “

“;
$message .= “

Name:	” . strip_tags($_POST[‘req-name’]) . “
Email:	” . strip_tags($_POST[‘req-email’]) . “
Phone	” . strip_tags($_POST[‘req-phone’]) . “
Preferred Contact:	” . strip_tags($_POST[‘typeOfChange’]) . “
message-subject:	” . strip_tags($_POST[‘message-subject’]) . “
URL To Change (main):	” . $_POST[‘URL-main’] . “
URL To Change (additional):	” . strip_tags($addURLS) . “
CURRENT Content:	” . $curText . “
NEW Content:	” . htmlentities($_POST[‘newText’]) . “

“;
$message .= ““;

And finally, that’s where the body of the email is formed – I can see where the URL-main and addURLS are and have tried removing them, but again the script fails (meaning the form submits but I never get the email)

I’ll be screwing around with it and hopefully get it going but if you have run into this problem before and know what I need to do I would really appreciate the help!

I got it, disregard previous! By the way, the tiny bit of code I had to delete wasn’t in anything I posted… Always something much simpler than you think!

hey, I’m having problems with my jqtransform setup, were you able to get the plugin to work with jquery 1.5?

[Doug]

What was it? I seem to be having the same problem….form submits, but no e-mail arrives…

[mwarren]

for me, the styling only loads in IE, but not firefox 4 or chrome. All my file paths are correct, but firebug shows that no styling is taking placing

[Doug]

And solved, these files require php5

[Doug]

seems to be working fine for me in FF 3.6.16

[Doug]

make sure you load the plug in’s after you load jquery and feel free to share your URL

I can only see the form styling in IE, but at work we use IE7 :(

Just downloded IETester, and it seems that now my ajax is failing on most of my navs in IE8…grrr what gives?

[Doug]

hmmm, not sure. It renders fine in FF, sent a test through, and the redirect to the /index.php page doesn’t seem to be working. I get a 404 error. Maybe upload the files and start fresh? Other folks who were commenting on the post seemed to also have some rendering issues? Now….if only I could hide the name and email fields yet still capture cookie info! :)

[mwarren]

what version of firefox? for me firefox 4 isn’t rendering it at all

[Doug]

seems to be working fine for me in FF 3.6.16 – may want to start a new thread on rendering css in the website change request form – because this thread is marked as “solved”

[mwarren]

i have a thread about this problem, no one has responded yet :(
