POSTing submit info to cgi-mailer

Hello All,
I hope you can help please; I am attempting to POST contact
information that someone enters into my contact page of a Flash
page. I have attached a screen shot of the ActionScript associated
with the Submit button that I have added after the onRelease
statement. This doesn’t work but I have left it there to show
you what I am trying to do.
I am not sure that I may be trying to do something that
can’t be done in this way and must be done through linking to
a PHP or HTML page that sends the data to the CGI-Mailer sever.
Would you inform me if this can be done from the flash
actionscript and if possible could you give me any advice on what I
am doing wrong or point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks in advance, kind regards,
David

Thank-you for the response is there any chance you could show
me how to use the LoadVar?? Script to post to the cgi mailer with
the blank page script, the variables _parent???, with the statement
“to=rec which seems to be the variable which is set to =
[email protected], my email address.

Simple CGI mail kicking my butt!

I am attempting to impliment a simple CGI mail page on my server.
The code comes from: http://www.boutell.com/email/
I have followed the directions to the letter. When I call up my html form and submit I get this error:
"Email Rejected: The requested destination address is not one of the permitted email recipients. Please read the documentation before installing email.cgi."
this apears to show that the email address in my email.conf does not match the recipient address in my html file. I have gone over and even copied it between files.
As far as I can tell I have this configured correctly. The email.cgi is in the /CGI-Executables/ and it's permissions are 777. My email.conf file is in the proper directory and if I move it or change the name I get an error that it is not found.
This is so simple I cannot find what I have missed.
Help please
Xserver G5 Mac OS X (10.4.7)

Well, you're right about it being simple :-P
I just downloaded and tested it out. In my case, I changed the email.conf file to /Library/WebServer/email.conf. It's owned by me with group admin permissions rw-r--r--. In it, I have:<pre>[email protected]
/</pre>I used my actual email address though. The second line just tells it to return to the site's home page when it's done.
The email.cgi file is in /Library/WebServer/CGI-Executables/email.cgi with owner me group admin, permissions rwxrwxrwx.
Then I have an email.html file in /Library/WebServer/Documents, following the template on their web page. The only thing I changed from the template on their web page is the hidden form field "recipient" -- changed it from "changeme" to "[email protected]" (again, substituted with me real email address).
It worked on the first shot. Do you have a target redirect line after the email address in your email.conf file? Did you remember to change the form field in your HTML form to match a legal email address?

Post Submit Event Question

How can I place a post-submit event into my form. I have Adobe Livecycle Designer 8.0. It doesn't show this event in the Script Editor.
I want to close the form after it has been submitted. I have a script for this action, but I do not know where to put it. I am using
app.execMenuItem("close");
I have tried placing this item in the Pre-Save Event and it works fine if you manually send the form via email. However, I receive an error from the Adobe 8 Distribution Wizard, when I try to send the Form to my Distribution List.
Does anyone know what I am doing wrong?
Thanks,
Jen

The post Submit event was not exposed in version 8 that is why is does not appear. You could hide your actual submit (make it invisible), then put a regular button on the form that will be the users submit. On the click event you would hit the submit button then run your close code. So it would be something like this:
RealSubmitButtonName.execEvent("click");
app.execMenuItem("close");

Working with HTTP-POST Submit Button

I've created a form that uses a submit button with HTTP-POST. I've tested this against a script that displays the fields, however, I'd like to table the posted data to SQL. Can someone show me some code to parse this data with CGI, or PHP?

Yes. At some point you will need to prarse the requests and treat them differently - because a POST is NOT the same as a GET.
Anyway, just place the variables or script-links to the variables in an HTML Form.
Very easy stuff.

Help needed, double post-submit on Oracle 9iAS ?

Hi,
I am working on a project where we make use of Oracle Application Server 9.0.3 in combination with OC4J and struts. During development we have made use of JDeveloper 9.0.3 and its integrated server for testing the application. Unfortunately we have been waiting too long with deploying the app on the 'real' (Oracle IAS) server, and now we found out that when deploying the application on IAS, some parts of our application do not seem to work anymore.
After a little investigation we found out that all POST submits of our forms seem to be submitted twice.
Since we did some Javascript-evaluation before submitting, we first thought that that the problem was client-side, but after adding code to make sure that the submit will only occur once (flag set to 1 before submit, and only submit when flag = 0 etc..), the problem still persists...so the submit does not come from our document.formx.submit() command...
Let me restate that this double posting does not occur within the JDeveloper-test-environment using the same browser.
Now convinced that the problem was server-side, we thought we could focus on this side. Unfortunately, after an occasional test with a Mozilla-browser (our default (customer) browser is IE6), the problem did NOT occur !
So, to sum things up :
- Javascript does not submit twice
- On the server, the logging indicates a double post-action
- On client-side, only a single-post is allowed...
- mozilla does not seem to cause problems, while IE6 does.
- JDeveloper runtime environment does not expose the problem (with either browser, it goes smooth), while deploying on the IAS 9.0.3 server does...
Can anyone shed some light on this ? We've been looking into it for a day already, and need to get it fixed asap (as always ;o))...
Thanks for any info,
Bas van Driel

This sounds like a strange java problem not IAS
From the sun site
"When I try to open a file through my Java Web Start application, a message box pops up with the title "javaw.exe - No Disk". Why does this happen?
This is a bug in the Java 2 SDK v1.2.2 or v1.3 . This bug will be fixed in a future Java 2 SDK release. In the meantime, there are a couple workarounds: "
Id be very tempted to remove any JDK/JRE installations, or even better start with a clean machine.
Hope this helps.

Why do I get html tags with my Flash forms CGI-mailed input text?

I'm using a Flash form to send input text to a cgi page
(using load variable). The following text is on the CGI page.
To: [email protected]
From: [email]
Errors-To: [email protected]
Subject: [subject]
Type of Project: [subject]
Deadline: [details]
Name: [realname]
e-mail: [email]
Phone: [phone]
e-mails me results like this...
Type of Project: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">by
george</TEXTFORMAT>
Deadline: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2"></TEXTFORMAT><TEXTFORMAT
LEADING="2">it!!!</TEXTFORMAT>
Name:
e-mail: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">[email protected]</TEXTFORMAT>
Phone: <TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">I've
got</TEXTFORMAT>
anyone know how I can get it to drop all the extraneous html
crap? - I just want the input text items.
Also I can't figure out how to do a flash pulldown list as a
form element... all tutorials I find on the sbject are for Flash 5
and say to use Smartclips from the common librarirs tab - but there
are no "smartclips" in my Flash CS3. I see other things in
components (menu, list) - but cannot figure out how to add my items
to the list.

is there some way I could use an "expression" to subtract the
unwanted text strings from the info being passed by the variables?
If so, does anyone have an example of the context I would used to
subtract 2 strings from that info...
this string of html tags appears before the passed input text
TEXTFORMAT LEADING="2">
and this appears affter it...
</TEXTFORMAT>
it's always the same.

Can not find "Reply-To" Info in incoming mail

Hi guys,
searched google and here to no avail:
I recently received an email from a person who replied through a web form. The "From" address was "[email protected]" but there was a "Reply-To:" field in the headers I received that had the guy's personal e-mail address.
I saw this Reply-To info on my desktop machine using Mail.app on OS X 10.6.1.
The mail had been sent to me at Mac.com and forwarded to me at Gmail where I aggregate all my incoming email.
BUT... when I went to reply to him from my iPhone later in the day, there was no sign of the Reply-To information, anywhere.
Am I overlooking documentation explaining this, a setting, or location for this data, or is this a BIG flaw in the iPhone Mail app??
Thanks for any insight.
Rob

I was being daft I guess. It was right in front of my face.

9i report services need info. on CGI and RWSERVLET

We are trying to use the reports 9i against forms 6i. I need to info. on how we can differentiate the two types of service(whether it is CGI or rwservlet).
Setup1:
1. Run rwserver -install server=TESTCGI
2. This creates the service and the testcgi.conf file
3. Make the compatibility to 6i in rwservlet.properties
4. In tnsnames specify the host=host1 port=1949
(Is this that all that I need to CGI?)
Setup2:
1. Run rwserver -install server=TESTSERVLET
2. This creates the service and the testservlet.conf file
3. Make the service manual so that it doesn't startup on its own.
4. Make the compatibility to 6i in rwservlet.properties
5. Also specify server_name=TESTSERVLET
6. Now start the service by typing http://host:8888/reports/rwservlet
(This sometimes start the service(I can see an icon) and is this the CGI service that is started by the servlet??. Sometimes it can't start the service giving port binding error. If I start the service TESTSERVLET by going to the services window and type the url http://host:8888/reports/rwservlet/showenv works fine.
I don't get any port bind error.
7. Is this case also do I need a tnsnames entry? If so what should be the port?
8. Is servlet internally calls CGI and is this how it works?
9. Why is that it can't start the service automatically when started using servlet sometimes?
I am little confused about both the architecture..Any help will be appreciated.

See comments in line:
1. Is report server and the listener(the one usually on
port 1949) are different processes altogether?9i Reports Server will start up a proxy server in a separate process, if
<compatible version="6i"/>
is set in server config file <server_name>.conf. The proxy server, which is running in a different process, will listen on the port.
2. If I issue the command, rwserver server=TESTSERVER(I
have no tnsnames entry for this server at this moment
in the tnsnames.ora file in the 9iR2 home) does it
start the report server alone? or the report server and
the listener process? rwserver server=TESTSERVER will start 9i TESTSERVER, but only start the proxy server if <compatible version="6i"/> is set. In the case that <compatible version="6i"/> is set, but no tnsnames entry for this server, the proxy will not be able to start, because it does not no which port to listen to.
3. If the above command starts the listener process by
itself which port does it use? (We had the option to
specify the port in previous releases, but not anymore
I guess. It used to be something like <executable>
port=<portno> in previous releases)Again, the port is defined in tnsnames.ora.
4. I assumed that specifying the entry for the report
server in the tnsnames.ora before starting the server
would start the listener process in the appropriate
port.
a. I made an entry in tnsnames.ora as SUPPORTSERVER
port=1949.
b. I ran the command rwserver server=SUPPORTSERVER
c. Did a netstat -a on the machine. Didn't see any
process listening on port 1949.
So my question is how do we specify the listening port?
where do we specify the listening port? If in
tnsnames.ora why I didn't see any listener process on
1949?Specifying the port in tnsnames.ora itself will not start the proxy server, you will need to uncomment <compatible version="6i"/> in $OH/reports/conf/<server_name>.conf. So make sure this and port number are both set correctly.
5. How do I determine what client Iam using? Is it like
below:
a. If I use only the following url
http://<web_server>.<domain_name>:<port>/<alias>/rwservlet?<parameters>
am I making use of servlet/oc4j? Does this mean servlet
has to be used only as a url?Yes, you are running report using Reports servelt. A servlet in its nature needs to be invoked in a web environment.
b. If I use the following url
http://<web_server>.<domain_name>:<port>/<alias>/rwcgi.exe?<parameters>
am I making use of cgi? Does this mean the cgi has to
be used only as a url?Yes, you are running report using CGI. A cgi program in its nature needs to be invoked in a web environment.
However, you don't have to run them from url. You can have your own program call Reports servlet/cgi, then return the result.
c. If for RUN_REPORT_OBJECT it uses ZRC, am I not using
servlet/oc4j? Since the document says, the servlet is
more stable than CGI, I want to use the servlet/oc4j.
Does this mean I should use only the above url and not
the RUN_REPORT_OBJECT?RUN_REPORT_OBJECT will not go through servlet. You can use show_document call to send request to servlet.
Hope this helps,
-Jeff

I'm the only one who can submit PDF by e-mail!

OK so I created this form, and I made the button to submit the PDF not the XML, and it worked great. For me.
The e-mail recipient tells me when anyone else tries to submit the form, the button changes color but nothing else happens. No e-mail window pops up. He said he has Outlook set up as his e-mail client, same as I do. He's not using webmail.
Of course it makes it more difficult that *I* have no problem submitting it!
Do you know the problem? You can see the form at http://yamhill.ucsd.edu/tps/pdfs/charter_form.pdf. If you try to submit it, just put "test" in a field, maybe "did you recieve this?" It won't go to me but the recipients will tell me whether they got anything.
I swear, they made this program WAY trickier than it should be. I hope future versions make this easier because judging from the forums, e-mail submission is a major issue for almost everyone.
Thank goodness for this forum or I would still be at square one. So thank you in advance for your help!

How do i turn off the 'Return Path' info in mac mail!

I don't know where it came from? how i turned it on or worse....how to turn this 'return Path' info off.

TO:
Headers in mac mail, please can some one tell me how to get rid of it! and tell me what its all about?

Sounds like you're seeing the full e-mail headers in Mail, rather than just the From, Subject, Date and To lines like normal. Is this in every message or just one? If it's just one, select it and press command-shift-H, or choose View -> Message -> Default Headers.
Alternately, if you're seeing it in every message, go to Mail -> Preferences, click the Viewing icon and set the "Show header detail" pop-up to Default.

Error in http post submit in Acrobat 8 and Reader 8

I am having an error when using the submit button via http post in Adobe 8 and Reader 8.
The http post is not properly formed and only submits the name of the first field and all of the values of the form. All the remaining fields names are not submitted.
It works fine however if I use Adobe 7 or Reader 7.
Anyone else have this error.
Quinten

I have the same problem with Reader 8. It's a bug. In http request ampersand is missing. Reaser 8 sends:
PAR1=value_of_par1PAR2=value_of_par2PAR3=value_of_par3
but it may be:
PAR1=value_of_par1&PAR2=value_of_par2&PAR3=value_of_par3

Submit button to trigger mail sending

my requiredment is in interactive form.. i have some fields to be filled by end user at their local machines..
and then a submit button is there, which when clicked will trigger a new mail (say an new mail window of outlook express will open with this pdf attached to a particular receiver name by default..
can some body tell me what script i have to write (in formcalc/javascript) for this and in which event of the submit button i should write the script

Soumya,
Check this [document|https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/c2567f2b-0b01-0010-b7b5-977cbf80665d]
Another thing which I found and you can try is :
1. Create a regular button.
2. In the Object palette, set the Control Type to Submit.
3. Go to the Submit tab. Select Submit Format as PDF.
4. In the Submit to URL box, type the submit email address preceded by mailto: tag
For example: mailto:[email protected]
Please note that in order to submit a PDF, either :
- your end users must have Acrobat installed; or
- you must pay Adobe for a Reader Extensions license for your form.
If you don't do this, your button won't work.

What's the URL to your site?
