Custom order form created with Databridge not submitting

Custom order form created with Databridge not submitting

I have created a custom order form for a page using the form builder in Data Bridge. I have added validation to my fields (this works fine) and then added email functionality (pretty standard).

However, whenever I click the submit button on the form (all fields correctly validated and filled in) nothing happens. It's like there is no action assigned to the form submission (I have double checked the email behaviour and it's set to fire when the current form is submitted and I have also tried changing this to on the button press action).

I don't normally use Form Builder to create forms, I normally hand-code them, but seeing as I have just bought DataBridge I thought I'd give it a go. I've attached my form page file. If anyone can help with this that would be appreciated.

I am new to Form Builder too and I must be missing something. Upon submit, I get a page loading icon, then it is on the same page. Nothing happens. I do receive an email but it contains no information.

One area of the directions, Specify the Action Page, isn't clear to me.

More testing today to try to figure this out.

@biz295654 - The action page is that page that will process the form. you have 2 options:
1) Leave the action page as is, the form will submit to itself. If you do this, you will need to edit the universal email behavior after the form is created to redirect to the thanks you page.

2) Set the action to go to the thank you page. This will apply the validation and universal email code to the thank you page, it will send the form data directly to the thank page, if validation fails, it will go back to the form page, if not it will send the email and stay on the thank you page.

if the email is blank, it mens you did not set up the email body. In the Universal Email behavior, either select the option to create a file for the email message, and select one of the templates (recommended), or click the DW Edit button to configure the email body.

@Ian H - One issue i see on your page is that there are 3 instances of the server validation behavior, there should be only one. delete the other 2.

You have set universal Email to redirect to the thank you page after sending the email, if the redirect is not happening, it means that either validation is failing, or there is an error on the page.

try adding the following code to line 1 to turn error reporting on:

php:
<?php

error_reporting
(E_ALL);
ini_set('display_errors','on');
?>



when the page posts, do you "?invalid=true" in the address bar? if so, this means validation has failed and is the cause of the problem.

I removed the 2 duplicate versions of the server validations but it still does nothing at all. The page is hidden on my website so if you want to see for yourself you can view it here:

website-builder-order-form.php

it's almost like the submit button isn't a submit button at all, just a button with no behavior attached, but it definitely is a submit button - I have checked the code.

I have noticed it has this onclick code attached though - onclick="clearAllServerErrors('SiteDesignerOrderForm_YellowCircleThemes_YCSiteimportedcolours')", which to me looks like it just gets rid of errors if they were corrected. I didn't add this code in myself, form builder did so I'm assuming it's needed.

in the spry code:

<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
var First_Name_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("First_Name_Spry", "none",{validateOn:["blur"]});
var Last_Name_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Last_Name_Spry", "none",{validateOn:["blur"]});
var Email_Address_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Email_Address_Spry", "email",{validateOn:["blur"]});
var Phone_Number_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Phone_Number_Spry", "phone_number", { format:'phone_us' , validateOn:["blur"]});
var Domain_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Domain_Spry", "url",{validateOn:["blur"]});
var Security_Code_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Security_Code_Spry", "none",{validateOn:["blur"]});
var Phone_Number_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Phone_Number_Spry", "none",{validateOn:["blur"]});//-->
</script>




there are 2 lines to set the phone number validation, the first one:
var Phone_Number_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Phone_Number_Spry", "phone_number", { format:'phone_us' , validateOn:["blur"]});

is forcing a US phone number format:
(555) 555-5555

the second one:
var Phone_Number_Spry = new Spry.Widget.ValidationTextField("Phone_Number_Spry", "none",{validateOn:["blur"]});

is just making sure it is not empty.

the second one is passing, so over riding the spry error from the first one.

if you try filling in the form using the example phone number above, it will work.

you should delete one of those spry variable lines.

Thanks Jason, I got your test email so I know it's working as you stated. I will amend the Spry code later on.
