Submit Button does nothing

Submit Button does nothing

So I created a form using webassist form, added file attachments using digital file pro,
then used universal email to email the form and attachments.

When I hit the submit button, the form fields turn green and nothing else happens.
No email is sent and no error message.

Is there something else that needs to be done to get this to send?

Thanks

Submit Button working, attachments not

ok, so I found out my problem. When I added the progress bar to the dreamweaver page, I got an error about placing code in the locked header of the page. I use a locked main template.

I pressed ok when the progress bar error came up. This messed up the form from submitting and I only had null null on the top of the page and nothing worked.

There was like 3 lines of crap code added to the header which I deleted and now the form is sending just fine.

So I unlocked the page from the template, re-added the progress bar and it's working now too.

Attachments are not working, but I am still reading up on realpath which seems to be the issue for most people. Would be great to have a video tutorial on realpath or adding attachments with universal email/digital file pro. Even a couple more visual screen capture shots of universal email realpath data bindings would be a huge improvement over the limited directions on the "How to include attachments with your email form" PDF.

another issue solved

Forgot to mention another small issue early on I found.

I had one field set with just a single check box with no validation required.
For some reason, if this check box was not checked on the form, the submit button
would not work. I deleted this check box and added a radio group instead and that small problem went away.

The realpath() functions takes a relative file name and converts it to a system path.

Click the Lightning bolt and select the server file name, this will add code in the attachments window similar to:

php:
<?php echo $WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverFileName"]; ?>




you will need to modify this to include the upload folder path:

php:
<?php echo("upload/Folder/".$WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverFileName"]); ?>




as well as the realpath() function:

php:
<?php echo(realpath("upload/folder/".$WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverFileName"])); ?>

realpath

Here is my code now:

<?php echo (realpath("uploads/".$WA_DFP_UploadStatus["WA_UploadResult1"]["serverFileName"])); ?>

The files are not being uploaded to the server, so I don't see how universal email can send the attachments. Maybe digital file pro is not setup properly on my end. I did follow the instructions, but the part that really got me confused was sets 9-17 on page 3 of the directions. That code above should have fixed the universal email issue.

Hopefully my issues will help others who are new at this.

Well, if the files are not being uploaded to the server, than they will not be able to be attached and that is what needs to be investigated, not Universal Email.

Can you send a copy of your page so I can look at the code.

For file upload to work successfully, the forms encoding type must be set to multipart/form-data:

<form action="applicant.php" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data" name="Default_SouthernPolymerCSS_SPCSS" class="SouthernPolymerCSS_SPCSS" id="Default_SouthernPolymerCSS_SPCSS">



If you are still having an issue, remove the redirect to the thankyou.htm page form the universal Email server behavior, then on the bindings expand the WA Uploaded File Global Status and drag the Debug info binding to the page, this will give info on the status of the file upload.


Also add the following at line 1 to see if there are any PHP errors occurring:

php:
<?php

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

Solved

Thanks for that, it worked and solved my issue.

I replaced the standard form action line that was put in there by I assume form builder
with your code and now all attachments work.

Thanks!
