Where it says "without php or html knowledge" should say "with a lot of HTML knowledge and a bit of PHP" :up:

You do not need any html/php knowledge to create a basic form. You just have to fill in the boxes with some basic details - bb code is used throughout rather than html code. There are more advanced features included which do require php knowledge such as forms hook for those who wish to do more with their form.

I sort of have a problem. If I go to the form and edit the form and then enter a description and check the boxes to save or PM form details and hit save, none of it save and I'm redirected to my forum home page. I'm using VB 3.8.3 with VBSEO.

Tried many times to save, reinstalled mod, always same result.

I'm not sure if vbseo is messing it up or whether some of the forms are missing their 'actions'.

Try importing attached file, as i have checked all forms have actions.

I want to make a landing page so that when a user clicks on an ad and comes to my site they see my custom easy registration form.

There is no function for registrations.

I would like to see a specific form as a module for cmps.

Is this possible and if so, how.

Thx

Create the form.

Then view the form.

View page source.

Copy the form part of the page source.

Create a new html module/page with the part of the page source copied in previous step.

[MoveOver.cc]

Thx,

Will give that a go.

Hi,

Excuse my limited knowledge.

Step1 - Do I copy the the whole of the source code or just the link to the page

Step 2 - When adding a module in CMPS, is it BB Code Module, Template Module or PHP File Module

Step 3 - What do I do now.

Thanks

You want to create a template page.

Select all styles

Template Content is where you put the copied code.

You only want to copy the form part of the page source. So not the header/ navbar/ footer.

So everything from:

<form action="misc.php" method="post"

To:

</tr>
</table>
</form>

Thanks

Have done all of that correctly.

I have worked out how to change this to a module but I cannot find how to make it appear as a module in the main cmps page.

Please help

Thanks a bunch for your prompt reply.

Imported and overwrote the current form and it still does the same thing. So I created a new form and the description seems to attach itself on a new form just fine but once I go into edit that form and check the selection boxes and hit save, it goes directly to:

 http://www.philosophyforum.com/forum/#lounge

so I'm thinking it may need some re-write rules for vbseo. For some reason hitting submit opens that anchor link to the lounge.

Does anyone else using this form have vbseo with similar problems?

Can't you add it to the main page like any other module?
