Can you automatically trigger a form submit (post)

Is it possible to automatically trigger a form 'action'
(re-direct) without asking the user to press a button.
I'm at the stage where the user has made some choices
(shopping basket's full) and has decided to pay (press pay button)
so I want now to do some data manipulation and data recording
before transmiting the payment request to Worldpay.
I can do this using querystrings but I'd rather do it with
hidden fields on a form..... is it possible?
I'm imagining calling a payment processing routine from the
shoping basket page which would have a form containing nothing but
hidden fields.
Regards.

Not reliable, since it would require JavaScript and usually
looks like
an error in the application design. HTTP doesn't allow POST
redirects
for good reasons.
But of course you could use server-side scripts to send POST
requests to
a third site behind the scenes. The user won't notice that,
so you would
have to find another way to tell them what happen(s|ed).

Just to make it clear: User presses "pay" button, the form
submits to
your own site. Then you want to do some manipulations, before
the data
is forwarded to the payment provider. Is this correct?
I would probably do it like indicated above: User presses
"pay" button,
form submits to your own site. You do your calculations and
then let
your script forward the data to the payment provider, either
with GET or
POST. Your script receives the response and returns a result
page to the
user. That way your script would work like a proxy between
the user and
the payment provider. Of course this is just an idea, it
might work in
some cases, but might fail in others.

Besides the unreliability mentioned above, you should also be
aware that
_all_ informations coming from the client-side can be
manipulated. This
means that users would be able to change the data in the
hidden form
fields before it is sent to the final recipient, they just
have to know
how. It depends on the informations and the used scripts if
this can
become an issue, but it should at least be kept in mind.

  • How can you automate the monthly opening of MM periods

    How can you automate the monthly opening of MM periods ????????????

    RMMMPERI accepts a period/year or a date.
    If you enter a date the period is derived by it.
    1. create a variant and check the attribute 'selection variable' for the parameter date. Then click the button 'Selection variables' and set the current date. Every time this variant is used the parameter DATE is filled with the current date.
    2. create a job for RMMMPERI with the variant created in the preceding step. Set it as periodic.
    If you're not using a fiscal year variant simply schedule it as monthly (to be executed the first day of the month).
    If you are using a fiscal year variant you'd have to define a calendar with only the first day of each period defined as working 
    day and use it in the periodicity restrictions.
    Another possibility:
    Write a very simple ABAP which run daily to check if the period has changed and submit RMMMPERI.

  • Can you automatically start programs when you switch on your imac

    can you automatically start programs when you switch on your imac

    Yes, go to: Apple / System Preferences / User Groups / Login Items and add the Application to the list of things automatically set to start at login.
    However, you should limit it to those that you need or use, because adding a lot will needlessly slow down your startup time and use more RAM.

  • Can you automatically delete anchor points when a new image is placed on top - so that it 'replaces'

    Hi all,
    I know that I can delete anchor points but I was wondering if there is a shortcut to do it on a larger scale.
    Can you automatically delete anchor points when a new image is placed on top - so that it 'replaces' the image, only on the parts obviously that you cover with the new one.
    Thank you all

    Hi,
    I'm using CS6, and I have a tree vector image, and I am trying to put names on top, but when I do this to keep it clean with no anchor points (as my other software cant read it with all the points in it) I have to manually delete each one but it deletes the whole path and I then end up with a tree, names on top, and a big gappy circle around the names.
    So really, I wanted to add the names on top, and have that delete all anchors underneath .
    Does this make sense? :S

  • Can you link a pdf form to a live database (access) (act)

    Can Designer create a form that can access a database live to get data and then relay the filled in information back to the database ie
    job number xxxxx (from database)  Client xxxxxxx (from database) time on job xxxxx (input on form and uploaded back)
    then upload this back to live database

    Depends on the database and the OS. Acrobat can use an OLE/DB connection through Windows to connect to the DB and perform those operations. We normally do not recommend doing itthat way beacuse you woudl have to configure a DSN on each client machine that will need to connect ot the DB (this becomes a maintenance issue in a large envirnment  - if there is a small number of users this is less of an issue). Dependinng on the DB you may have to laod an ODBC client driver on each machine as well. Bigger installation will centralize this function on a server and have the form submit to that place for these operations.
    Database connectivity is a standard feature in Acrobat but if you are using Reader it is not supported by default. You can enable the functionality by Reader Extending the file using LiveCycle Reader Extensions Server.

  • Can you use the same form for different datasheets?

    Hello! Thanks in advance for your time.
    To keep this short, I have created a form at my place of work to do a type of process audit. The form has worked extremely well and now other areas of the business would like to use it. For example, let's say I wanted to perform the exact same process audit
    at a supplier, but I want a separate datasheet on my SharePoint page to separate in house audits from supplier audits. The form I created for in house audits took an extremely long time and has tons and tons of fields and tons and tons of rules.
    Can I simply save the form to a new location, and somehow publish the form to a datasheet view so all fields from the form appear as columns and the form submits data to the new datasheet? If so, can somebody explain how? I would be eternally greatful!
    Mitch

    Would this be an InfoPath form?
    One option would be to extend your current form to have a 'Type' field that has 'Internal' and 'Supplier' as choices. You could then create views to show 'All', 'Supplier only' and 'Internal only' subsets of the data.
    Alternatively you may be able to save the list as a template and then re-use it but I can't remember how well if at all that works.

  • Can you help me get this blog posted on ALL possible parts of the website? Please read.

    DUAL SIMM CARD CAPABILITY and WORLDFONE QUAD-BAND CAPABILITY.  This is the crux of the biscuit (as Frank Zappa once said).  Multiple SIMM-card quad-band world-phones (2 or more SIMM cards per phone AND cover the North American and Pan-Asian GSM bands) are what ALL the manufacturers (RIM, Apple, Nokia, Ericson, Motorola, etc.) PURPOSELY FAIL TO ADDRESS because they are under pressure from the service providers (AT&T, Verizon, etc, etc.) NOT TO OFFER THESE IN THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET.  The reason is twofold.  First, for a phone to hold multiple SIMM chips simultaneously, it must inherently be UNLOCKED (where SIMM cards from any multiple providers can be inserted into the same phone simultaneously).  Second, the big service providers don't mind you having a quad-band worldphone, as long as they can bill you BIG $ for international roaming in foreign countries, they cannot milk you like this if you have a local SIMM card installed for that foreign country (ie: use the foreign SIMM card telephone number when making or receiving calls overseas in that particular country).  ALL THESE PHONE MANUFACTURERS ARE SOMEHOW IN THE POCKETS OF THE CELLULAR PROVIDERS NOT TO OFFER MULTIPLE SIMM-CARD CAPABLE WORLDBAND PHONES WITHIN THE NORTH AMERICAN MARKET.  There is a Chinese company called Jing Cheng that introduced the first integrated Dual SIMM chip worldband phone (model # JC 666s).  These were not internet or e-mail capable, but showed the western world what this is all about.  Thank our cellular providers AND our phone manufacturers for keeping the wool pulled over our eyes in North America.  Such dual SIMM card worldband phones have been available for YEARS in Germany, Australia, China, Japan, etc.  IT'S TIME ALL THE PHONE MANUFACTURERS UNDRESS AND SHOW WHOM THEY REALLY HAVE LOYALTY TO (the cellular providers OR their customers).

    As this is a forum I can only surmise that this is not a blog or a post to assist/support another member but rather a misguided rant.
    I am now on my second Blackberry, both of which had a worldwide capability.  My first was the Blackberry Storm 9530, the Storm 1.  My current Blackberry is the 9550, the Storm 2.  Both were locked to my carrier (Verizon).  In anticipation of a trip abroad I had the 9530 unlocked by Verizon in order to avail myself of local SIMM cards during my travels.  A hospitalization has delayed the trip but prior to departure, Verizon will unlock my 9550.  There are any number of sites that will, for a fee, provide an unlock code for you.  Pay your money and take your chances.  Make sure you choose wisely.
    Carriers are generally willing to do this for customers in good standing.  This, of course, begs the question of why a Blackberry (or any device) is locked to a specific carrier.  I do not know of anyone, who has paid full price for their phone Smart or otherwise.  Most device purchases are at steep discounts or rebates predicated on a contractual term of service with the retailer (carrier).  This how they recoup the cost of the discount.  Having the phone locked prevents someone from availing themselves of a heavily discounted device at a carrier's expense and immediately jumping ship to another carrier.  That lock combined with an Early Termination Fee "ETF" is what keeps the latest and greatest devices affordable for the vast majority of us.  It is not the best system but it works.
    A dual SIMM capability on a phone with neither email or Internet access is well, quaint.  It is for lack of a better term, a phone.  I am not surprised given the Peoples Republic of China's support of freedom of information, that they have such a restricted device.  I want every bell and whistle that RIM can put on their product and with the 9550, that is what I have.
    There is no grand conspiracy between the manufacturers and the carriers.  Perhaps, you might want to start a telecommunications industry conspiracy blog.  Perhaps you could use that wonderful Dual SIMM Chinese device to make posts to it.  Oh, that's right, no Internet access on it.

  • Can you have multiple contact forms in a single Muse site?

    I have a site created in Muse that needs to use multiple contact forms of a sort.  One is a simple contact form.  Two others are sign up forms. In two of the three forms I have to separate the First and Last names.  Also in those there are multiple Custom fields and Message fields.
    The original simple contact form is working fine and has been.  However, I modified one of the pages by adding a second form, the first of the two sign-up forms.  It looked great in Muse, but when uploaded to the site, all of the fields were gone, leaving only the Labels in a single paragraph.
    Does this mean I can't have multiple contact forms in a single site?  If I actually, can, then what might have caused the problem?  And what could you suggest for me to try to fix it?
    Thank you,
    Laura

    Thank you for the information, but I cannot find anywhere in help where to find the field names (if that is my problem).  I changed all the labels and the corresponding text inside the field (remember, Muse does not give access to code as far as I can tell).  When I preview the page in a browser (using FireFox as default, but also tried with IE), everything looks good.  When I export to html and open the index.html on my computer, everything still looks great.  But when I FTP the page to the website, this is what I get:
    First Name:RequiredRescuer Email:RequiredOrganization (if any):RequiredSubmitting Form...The server encountered an error.Form received.Geographic Areas Covered:RequiredRescuer Cell Phone:RequiredRescuer Home Phone:RequiredRescuer Home Address:

  • Stop automatic send after Form Submit

    Using Acrobat Pro X, Version 10.16 on Windows 7 Professional, Sevice Pack 1. 
    When a user clicks the Form Submit button it launches an Outlook email and immediately sends an email through Outlook.
    Is there anyway to allow the user to edit the email, add multiple receipients, before the email is sent?
    Thank you

    Apparently this Monday is all about defying the odds! But alas, this is what is happening. I have no idea why - and my form submit button is not running any special Javascripts. It is simple routing a completed PDF to a mailto: address. Our users are all using Acrobat Pro X - so it is a straight PDF submission. I personally can't recreate it. Is it possible Outlook is doing something? Or an Outlook setting is triggering the event? Anyone else have this issue happen?

  • Can you have more than one submit button on a form?

    I'd like to divide a form so that there are two sections, each with their own submit buttons.  Is it possible to have more than one and if so, how do you "create" a button?

    Hi,
    You could try Redirect URL under Options tab. The way is you create two forms instead of two sections. Let's say form A and form B, then set form A's Redirect URL to form B.
    After submit form A, it will jump to form B after seconds, which you can also set in Redirect URL option.
    Let me know if this can help you.
    Thanks,

  • HP 7280 All-in=one - can you automatically print the fax log?

    On my old HP, you could set a regular day for it to automatically print fax logs. I can't find that setting on the HP 7280 (Win 7 computer), and I often forget to print out a log. (and nothing appears in the fax log box from the HP Solutions Center).
    Does anyone know if there is a way to set up a log auto print? Or retrieve faxes from prior to the last 30? thanks

    Hey there @MSS1 ,
    I read about how you are wanting information on printing out fax logs from your Photosmart C7280.
    I just wanted to respond with the information I have found. Click here and start on page 142 to read about printing the faxes in the memory. Also, I do not personally believe you can reprint faxes older than 30 days from the history.

  • Can you automatically embed Exif data in DNG files LR4

    For years I have been using Bridge and ACR for my raw workflow. I use only DNG files and have the database turned off so the EXIF data is embedded right into the original DNG file. This means my files are 100% portable without and sidecar.
    Can I work with lightroom 4 without having a database? OR can I assure that each DNG file has all it's setting automatically embedded as it does in Bridge?
    Thanks,
    Tom

    In the catalog settings, metadata tab, there is an option to automatically write to XMP.  That should do what you want.  Since there is no sidecar file with the DNG file exif data will be written to the file. 

  • Can you automate actions involving pairs of images?

    Hi everyone,
    This is my situation:
    I want to take a headshot and a name and then paste both onto a background image and then save out the result.  But I want to do this with many pairs of headshots and names.  The headshot and name are each in separate images, and the background image is a separate image that will be the same for every pair.  Using batch commands I know I can easily insert the headshots into the same background, or the names into the same background, but is there a way to insert both the name and headshot into this background and save out the results?  From what I can tell, there doesn't seem to be a way to do this without getting into scripting.
    I'm using Photshop CS5.5 with Windows.
    Any answers would be appreciated.
    Thanks and regards

    Creating data driver graphics is one way to create the kind of collage you want. If you have all the information in a database or spread sheet they can mostlikelt create the CSV files you need to go with the template you create. 
    As been pointed out an other way to do it is with Photoshop Scripting however you need some to design some collage process.   I put togeter a set of Script to populate Collage templates that follow four simple rules.  It would be very easy to create a template for two images. The images can be stamped with the files name in one of 9 positions.    The Ordere in which images will be populated from a source image folder can be controlled ny adding a sequence number followed by a # as a prefix to the file name  example  "100#John Doe Jr..jpg" "101#Bozo The Clown.psd"  "200#George Washing.CR2" 201#Marther Washington.tif"  Using the BatchMultiImageCollage scripu you select the two Image protrait template point to the source folder point at the target folder check that you want name stamps select the font and position. The prefix and extention will not be part of the name stamp.

    DRM - digital rights management. Controversial and complicated subject.
    If you just want a password you can set that with Acrobat, but it has no expiry system. Expiry is a pretty complex area, for instance, it cannot trust the clock in the user's own computer, because they could change it to fool you. And if you count opens or whatever they can just start with a fresh copy. Adobe's DRM runs on a server 24/7, so that checks can be made whether to open or not.
