I have been able to make the form, and even add in the validation code for fields (none can be empty). All of it works fine as I can hit the 'Submit' and until I add something to each field, I get the JavaScript error. I have a hand written form that does this now -- but I needed the captcha technology your product offered.

But here are my questions:

1. (Most important) The form does not seem to have an "action" as a possible option for the form. This is fine, but I NEED the form to develop an email to go to some of my members (this is for a 12-Step organization). How do I:

a) Get the email working so the information submitted gets emailed to someone?
b) Directs the user to another page thanking them for the submission and telling them what happens next?

2. Are there any Date validation scripts you folks use (this is be -- in my opinion -- one of your basic options, along with a Date Picker utility)? I have my own scripts, but thought you might have one specifically developed for your product.

3. I have a number of checkboxes on the form. I need to return a "Not Valid" if NONE of the checkboxes are checked upon submission. Would I just hang that off one of the checkboxes? Also, is there a specific format you use to add my script to the overall validation script?

If you want to see it in its current form, I have this currently posted on our website:

www.oar2.org/index.php?option=com_facileforms&Itemid=121

Also, I have this as one page right now. I thought of modifying it to make it multiple pages, but then couldn't figure out how to have the system change from one page to the next.

This seems like a wonderful product, but the documentation is NOT very good (Google Translate?).

Thanks in advance!

Hi John,

Sorry for the delay in responding. We don't always have time to monitor the community forums. (You can always contact support as noted in your subscription confirmation.)

In any event, I will try to respond to your questions as best I can.



You can set the email through Components > BreezingForms > Configuration > Default email notification address. If needed, you can include multiple addresses there by separating them with semicolons, like so:

This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. ; This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.

You can also set admin Email addresses on an individual form level by going to the form's properties and filling it in like this:





There are two ways to accomplish this:

1. In the Form Properties, check the box that says "Last page is thank you page." Make sure that "Paging include" is set to YES and include Submit Button is set to YES (in most cases -- there are some instances where that might be different).



2. Refer to either of these two forum posts:

There is a calendar element available. Add a new element and select 'Calendar' as the element type. What kind of validation are you looking for on that?



Go down to the Validation section, put a checkmark beside Validation and then in the Validation Type, choose LIBRARY, and then select FF::ffanychecked.

You can add validation to any of the elements. Typical ones that are included in the library and often used are:

Textfield: FF::ffvaluenotempty
Textarea: FF::ffvaluenotempty
Email: FF::ffvalidemail

If you scroll through the library list, they should be fairly self-explanatory.



Yes, you can do this as well. Create a new page and then drag the element(s) you want included to its icon. If you want more than one additional page, just repeat the process. BreezingForms will automatically recognize when it needs to go to the next page (as long as you have the Paging include option set to YES) by including a 'Next' button at the bottom of the page.

On the final page, if you have chosen "Include submit button: YES" then a submit button should also appear automatically at the end of the form.

We are aware that the documentation is lacking and are trying to get a new knowledgebase put together. Unfortunately, there is not always time to work on it when support issues have to take priority.

If you have any other urgent questions, please send them through to support. You will usually get a much quicker response there.

Thanks,

Dear Terry -
I hope you are reading this as it seems you answer new posts, but not replies to old posts. Thank you for replying to my questions, but I am confused.

The area you point me to on the forms does not exist for me on my "Edit Form" area. I assume this is what you mean by "Form Properties", as I cannot find anything called "Properties".

I am attaching a picture of my screen when I press "Edit Form" (attached).

I cannot find "Include Submit Button", "Last Page as Thank You" or any way to make pages. What are I doing wrong?

Thank you in advance!

Terry -
I found the 'Properties' screen you highlighted, but only on the QuickMode form. It doesn't seem to be available on the 'classic mode', which is what I made the form in. However, I tried a workaround, which was to make a NEW form in QuickMode and then I was going to copy in all of the elements. However, when I highlight them all and hit 'Copy', my 'QuickForm' form is not one of the ones that comes up in the list of target forms.

Question 1: Isn't there a way to get to 'Properties' from the 'Classic mode' (don't people designing in classic mode need to be able to have access to these properties)?

Question 2: Can't you copy from one type of form to another?

HELP! I'm reaching a deadline on this!!!!

Hi John,

I try to answer as many as I can here, but unfortunately, I can't always get to the forums. Please remember that if you have purchased a subscription that you are entitled to support by writing to This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. .

Which type of form are you trying to create? The easiest method is QuickMode. In a QuickMode form, when you open up the screen, on the left-hand side you will see what looks like the beginning of a directory tree, and it will have a form name at the top of it. If you click on that form name, a new screen will appear on the right that looks like this:



Now, in answer to your latest post, no, you can't copy elements from one form type to another -- they are just not coded the same way.

If you would like some help on getting that form created in QuickMode, if you provide me with temporary admin access I'd be happy to help you. Just email it to me at This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. . Please don't post the info on the forums, for obvious reasons...

Thanks,

Terry
