Fatal Error - What is wrong?

Fatal Error - What is wrong?

I created a php site with siteassist pro. I'm trying to add the content form solution pack. If I upload either the contactus.php or the contact_styled.php unaltered directly to my site everything works fine, the thankyou page follows and I receive the follow-up email. But when I try to apply either contactus.php or the contact_styled.php to my dreamweaver template I get the following window:

The template that you're trying to apply does not allow changes outside the <html> tag. This document contains code outside the <html> tag, which will be lost by applying the template. Proceed? OK or CANCEL

I choose OK and get the following window:

Editable regions
Document body <not resolved>
Document head <not resolved>
Choices to fix not resolved are: nowhere, content, doctitle, head, menu_ie

Why is NOT RESOLVED showing up?

I tried head for document head and content for document body - does not work
content for document head and content for document body - does not work
nowhere for document head and content for document body - does not work

After I upload all my files I get this error on the contact page of my site:

The YOUR NAME field is the only field that appears with the following PHP Error Message:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function validatedfield() in /home/a1894898/public_html/ContactForm_GMC/contactus.php

on line 101

I did upload all of my files. Can anyone please help?

Thanks!

It looks like the files did not attach to your post, please post back with a copy of the template file and the page that you are trying to apply the template to.

It sounds like there are some parts of the template and contact page that are not matching up. You say that you tried sever different combinations of associations for the different regions and that it did not work, please describe what you experienced when it did not work.

One way that you might be able to get around this is to create a new blank page from the template then copy over the code from the contact page and save it with the same name as the contact page.

Hi Eric,

I have the CONTACTUS.PHP file open. I right click and apply to the template file: SITEASSISTPRO_TEMPLATE.DWT.PHP and then the window opens with this warning:

The template that you're trying to apply does not allow changes outside the <html> tag. This document contains code outside the <html> tag, which will be lost by applying the template. Proceed? OK or CANCEL

I choose OK and get the following window:

Editable regions
Document body <not resolved>
Document head <not resolved>
Choices to fix not resolved are: nowhere, content, doctitle, head, menu_ie

I don't know what to choose here. Whatever choice I've made, the page is filled with all the necessary fields and a submit button. I upload the entire ContactForm_GMC folder and the contactus.php page always displays the PHP error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function validatedfield() in /home/a1894898/public_html/ContactForm_GMC/contactus.php on line 101

Thanks again for you help,

Gene

When you are applying your own template you will need to match up the editable regions of your template with the regions of the page. You mentioned:

  I tried head for document head and content for document body - does not work  



When you say that it did now work what is the result that you got? This is the correct way to apply the editable regions of the template so it you should get a good result. The error are you getting about the function being undefined is probably because the code that includes the file this function is defined in is not present. The includes should all be at the top of the page above any of the html. When I view the contact page you posted there is no line 101, it only goes to line 93.

You could manually create a new page from the template then cut and past the individual sections of the page into your new page.

More Fatal Error

Eric,

When I apply the document head and body the contactus.php page is filled with all the required fields. I upload everything and then get the PHP error code when I open the contactus.php page on my site.

The reason you don't see line 101 is because I tried a few more times to apply the contactus.php to my template and I keep getting the warning window:
The template that you're trying to apply does not allow changes outside the <html> tag. This document contains code outside the <html> tag, which will be lost by applying the template. Proceed? OK or CANCEL

And then:
Editable regions
Document body <not resolved>
Document head <not resolved>

Why aren't the editable regions automatically filled in? I really need to get this form working. I've spent four days on this. It should be a simple copy and paste.

I tried to copy and paste the code into an open page but most of the code is locked. The area that I can paste the code shows the actual code on the web page in design view.

Is there an easy, straightforward solution for this?

Thanks,

Gene

More Fatal Error

I did a search on this forum and found this: showthread.php?t=3054&highlight=template+you%27re+apply+%26lt%3Bhtml%26gt%3B+tag

Apparently, applying the contactus.php to a template may not work. The cut and paste method makes more sense, but some of the instructions on the above page are difficult to understand, maybe because the provided solution wasn't proofed before being uploaded.

Can someone create some formal instructions as to exactly how to edit the code to properly insert this contact form into an existing template?

Also, why isn't this cut and paste method made into an automatic solution? Unfortunately, you have to know some coding to properly make the contact form work within a template.

I tried calling tech support and customer service for help, calls were not returned. I believe this product may need to be updated to work easier.

Please help?

We were able to resolve the issue by adding the DOCTYPE and html tags to the beginning of the template file. With this update the template then was able to be correctly applied to the unstyled contactus.php page without issue.
