Editing simple contact form...

When I place the simple contact form widget onto a page, it won't let me delete the "Enter Name" field. All I need is the "Enter Email" input. When is Adobe going to add full form capabilities? That is one of the glaring things missing from Muse.

Name and Email are the only fields in Adobe Muse forms that are Required by default and you cannot remove them nor can you make them optional. You may use some custom JS code to prepopulate and hide the name field if it is absolutely necessary for your purpose.
Thanks,

I, and my clients, want a VERY simple contact form hosting option...

There's no need for us to have data collected and analyzed. No need for yet another hosting service to store data we'll NEVER use.
I've already got a hosting service for my site. My clients already have hosting for their sites. None of us are willing to spend another
dime to have a second hosting system for anything. Don't care. Don't want it. LOVE the Muse forms and the ease with which I can
modify them to look the way I want them to, but that all adds up to jack squat if they don't work.
All we're looking for is a simple contact form that allows users to fill in a couple of form fields, add a little message and hit send.
My clients want to have at the most, about 5 different email addresses set up so they can keep the information organized a bit on their end.
They may get at most about 300-500 emails a month at a peak time of the year.
That's not too much to ask is it?
I mean, if I use the "Upload to FTP host" feature in Muse, what's so hard about adding a bit of code that uses that server space to pass along
a few messages to a mailbox?
Can't we just set up a BASIC contact form that is just creating an email and sending it to an email address with a preformatted message based
upon the form fields we add to the widget? Something like this:
Name: John Smith
Email: [email protected]
Phone: 555-555-5555
Message: You guys are a great little company, thanks for being so swell.
Dat be all we want yo! Hook us up mang!
For $15 dollars a month that I'm paying to use Muse, there oughta be something like that in the form widget panel! Dang!
Really have a bad taste in my mouth with this whole attempt to channel people into Business Catalyst... That might be great
for some of your customers, but odds are, not really... The majority of Muse users are likely to be designers that want to have
a bit more control over their clients image/brand, and want to have less painful ways of keeping up with the advancements in
webdesign/development without having to learn new code crap every few months!
So let's not be too greedy and accidentally paint some of your customers into a corner and try to get them to pay you more
money for services they don't need, and probably don't want.
I've recommended Muse to a few designer friends of mine, and their comments are all the same: Love Muse for the ease of
use in designing websites, hate the idea of Business Catalyst. "Feels like a ball and chain, but worse because I have to pay for it."
Yeah, time to rethink your plan a bit folks?
Simple Muse Form Widget. Get on it! It would be VERY nice of you to do so!

I do agree and have posted a few times on this. It would be nice not to be tied down with another hosting subscription. It would be better if instead of having to pay for BC hosting with different plan pricing they could have different pricing for Muse with different feature options. I would pay more for Muse to use the form feature freely on any server I choose because like you said the form widget is great for making really custom forms, but that ease of use should come at a cost because it is so sought after.
I am getting sick of people wanting everything for free just because it is there and they want it so badly but think they shouldn't have to pay for it because it is not in their budget.
Muse should have different tiers with different feature options and not force BC on users. BC is a great solution for people without hosting or users that are not familiar with setting up their own servers but for the ones that do have their own servers and are comfortable with using them feel tied down.

Is there a way to remove fields from a "Simple Contact" form?

What I am looking to do is create a "subscribe to newsletter" form where the user only has to enter their email address. I don't want them to have to enter their name or write a message. Does anyone know if it is possible to alter the simple contact form?
Please see photo for what I am looking to create.
Thank you for your time.

Hi Kurt,
What I ended up doing was creating the form in Muse then bringing the html page into Dreamweaver and removing the name field. It works but can be kind of a pain if you want to make changes to the design part in Muse because you have to go back into dreamweaver and remove the name field again every time you export. I'm glad to hear the next major release will no longer require a name field.
It would be nice if we could play with the code behind muse within muse. It would make life easier especially when inserting google analytic tracking for pdfs. ;-)

Simple contact form that emails resutls

Hi Folks,
using jdev 11.1.1.3
I need to construct a simple contact form that takes the results of the input boxes and emails it to a specified reciptient. It should be easy but I can't find any references to constructing such an app anywhere in the documents. Can someone point me to a simple tutorial that may exist out there?
Thanks much,
Pat

You probably need to write some Java class that will do the email sending using Java Mail:
http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/index-jsp-139225.html
Then you can expose this class as an ADF data control and bind a JSF page to that method.

Simple contact form php error

I just replaced an adobe formscentral contact form with the muse simple contact form. It is not working, receiving a php server error when submitting. How can I fix this?? I'm hosting through Amazon Route53.
Issue is here: CONTACT

Hi,
I was able to submit the form, kindly let me know if you are still facing the issue.

Simple Contact form in Site Studio

I'm trying to build a simple Contact Us form in a Site Studio website. I've built the front end form using the FCK editor, but I'd like to be able to email the form data. Does IdocScript have built in functions to handle emailing form data? I don't want to store it on Content Server, or check any documents in, just email the data.
Right now I just have the form action pointing to PHP script I host outside the Content Server, but it seems like it would be cleaner if this could just submit back to the Content Server.
Thanks,
-Jason

If you want use something existing or out-of-the-box (OOTB), the "easiest" way would be to post to the SUBMIT_HTML_FORM idcservice. When the form is submitted, a copy of the form is checked into the content server, which you can then have subscriptions alert users via email.
Here is some help on getting forms to work via the SUBMIT_HTML_FORM idcservice if you don't know what I'm talking about. I wound up implementing this [almost] exact solution about 1.5 years before Kyle's post - just tooting my own horn here :) - but props to Kyle explaining it pretty well. There are many tweaks that can be made, but it works quite well on a fundamental level. You can see some of the "issues" I'm still running into by reading my (Andrew) comments, but you're using the same editor that Kyle did, so you shouldn't run into any of the issues I did.
I also went one step further by writing my own email (using javamail) idoc function and calling it anytime a new form was submitted. This is obviously something that is not OOTB and reserved for advanced discussion.
Good luck!
Edit: Stupid "insert a link" doesn't work. Use standard HTML tags to insert hyperlinks.

When I try to edit a simple contact form the editing box disappears when I click on it - any ideas?

I am doing the usual click on the form to edit. The black box 'options' appears, but any mouse click on any part of the box (including the bit that needs editing) makes the whole box disappear. Anyone know a way around until this bug is fixed - I have customers losing potential contacts and money!

I have found a temporary fix - I went back to the previous version of Muse (I had only updated earlier today) and the menu flyout was still working.
I have to admit to being disappointed with the latest version; my mouse button doesn't work on some sections and I have to resort to using keyboard arrows to navigate. I'm sticking with the older one that works until a few more updates have arrived. TIP - don't uninstall previous versions, or save over files (use a new name for each muse version) - you're going to need them!

Simple contact form Client not receiving email from test site

I have entered my client's verified email, cut and pasted it into place. I have added my email and my wifes email. The only person not getting the forms email info is my client. I'm baffled.

The URL for the site is getthenetbassguide com.businesscatalyst.com/index.html. I have added several peoples email address', including my own to the back end of the form. As I've said the only person not receiving emails is my client who opened an account with 1 and 1. I contacted 1 and 1. They show no spam filters on their end so I'm still baffled. I asked about firewall permissions and they were not helpful. Is there a way to monitor the email and see what could be blocking 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:
RequiredRescuer City:RequiredRescuer State:RequiredRescuer Zip code:RequiredRescuer Country:RequiredVeterinarian Name:RequiredVet Address:RequiredVet City & State:RequiredVet Phone:RequiredRequiredServices Offered:RequiredAdditional Info About You:Required Rescuer (available to general public) RequiredVolunteer (available only to Rescuers)RequiredPhoneRequiredEmailRequiredOtherRequiredLast Name:RequiredImage Verification:Required
How would you prefer to be listed?
How would you prefer to be contacted?
However, this is how it looks on the preview:
So, what is my problem? And how can I fix it?
Thank you,

Is it possible to create a contact form via Flash cs5.5 and package out app for desktop?

I need to create a desktop app for windows. Im using Flash cs5.5 and I wanted to know of an easy to way to create a simple contact form that would work once installed on a desktop/
Thanks guys for any input!

If you want a contact form you can either use StageWebView or HTMLLoader to show an HTML page in your web server with a contact form.
Or you can create the form with Flash textfields and then send the whole thing with a POST request to a PHP script in the server, for example.

Can I make a 'Contact Form' in Fireworks CS4?

I would like to inbed a simple 'Contact Form' into one of the

Any help that you could provide will be appreciated!
Thank You!

You wouldn't do this is FW. It's strictly an HTML thing - use

Need PHP contact form code

I have a simple contact form (NAME, EMAIL, PHONE) and now need the most simple PHP script for it?
I have had this on my site for 3 years, and 2 months ago the text that people put in the form started not shwoing up in the emails sent to me?
I am assuming it will just be easier to make a new form and script?
Appreciate the help in advance for this script.
