SQL based contact form

Hi everyone,
Thank you in advance for your help with this. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4.
I have created an SQL table which lists 20 people. For each person (row) there are extra pieces of information (columns) such as Name, Email Address, Job Title and Specialisms.
I would like to use this address book to create a form in Dreamweaver. Essentially what I want to do is display the SQL table on a webpage and place a checkbox next to each person (row). At the bottom of the form I would like a box to enter a message and an attach file option. Then the user can select which people they want to contact and send them a message and a file attachment. I don't mind if the form needs to be split into 2 pages, page1 select the people, page2 the message and attachment.
I know the basics of forms in Dreamweaver, and know the basic of fiddling with SQL (all very recent knowledge). At this point I'm not even sure how to display the SQL table (!).
I don't expect a one-off solution, but could someone please nudge me in the right direction?
By the way - I do not want to use ADDT.
Thanks very much,
NJ

[ADF] migration to ADF, pl/sql based DB api

We are planning to move one of our project to ADF (we using flex for now), we have all our DB working through the proc/functions API.
Its about 50+ entities, lots of rename/update/create api already exists and working well.
There seems a bit tricky to make ADF BC work through API, as I have found mere examples it looks like it more like exception from the rule, and every Entity and View BC is has to be rewritten by hand.
There are two frameworks around - [Avroms’s Package based API|http://www.avromroyfaderman.com/framework-for-database-api-based-adf-bc/framework-for-package-api-based-adf-business-components/] that is 3 years old it works for our testing, but I encounter strange behavior when using BLOB fields. As Avrom abandoned it and here is a not right place to ask questions about his framework – I’m really stuck with it 
Second framework is a evolution of the first one, Framework for Database API-Based ADF BC, and was hosted on oracle’s samplecode [is not avaible for now|https://database-api-based-adf-bc.samplecode.oracle.com/] , and there no way to get it.
What will be best practice to solve my problem:
1) Some simple way to build ADF BC on API, that is not obvious
2) Someone who can help with old framework to get it work in proper way
3) Try to convince PM to change the way new project work in ADF-native table/view way (it almost impossible, but who knows?)
4) ??? some suggestions
Thanks in advance

Yes, it is, but when I trying to use that framework and encountered some strange behavior when I have Blob columns in viewObject:
It looks like resultSet is missing first two rows.
With empty resultSet or when number of rows is below 2 I have an error:
(oracle.adf.model.connection.ConnectionException) JBO-29000: Unexpected exception caught: java.sql.SQLRecoverableException, msg=Closed Resultset: next
In case when number of rows is more then two – there is no error, but results is shown from third row.
Error can be reproduced in [Demo app|http://www.avromroyfaderman.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/packageapidemo.zip] :
1) Add blob field to Employees table
2) Modify GET_EMPS function to return new blob field
3) adding blob field to Employees entity and EmloyeesView
Thats make me stuck with it, as I have some blob fields in fundamental entities, so I can't proceed.
Avrom’s blog looks abandoned, and my comment there is still waiting for pre-moderation for a week+ and no responce from author through contact form.
I asked for newer framework version in the thread you pointing, but my post was deleted, assuming that all question on getting newer framework version must be pointed to Avrom or waiting for Frank to get his hands on project to make it EMG again.

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.

Can Google Analytics provide reports/data from a Contact Form created in Muse?

My Muse site will be hosted by a third party hosting service, as I am creating it for a client. My client wants to be able to see a monthly report of inquiries submitted via the contact form, which was created in Muse. Can Google Analytics provide reports/data from a Contact Form created in Muse?

Muse makes files through interface design approach. It has actually nothing to do with the running of your site. And this forum is for Business Catalyst, Adobe's CMS. If you are not using that and a 3rd party then for tracking etc that is based on you or someone else installing the google analytics code on that website. Muse has nothing to do with that.
Here is google's starting guide for that.
http://www.google.com/intl/en-AU/analytics/learn/setupchecklist.html

Captcha Module in Contact Form

Is there a technical reason that the Captcha Module only works with Business Catalyst or is it an Adobe marketing decision to limit its use to BC, as it did the Contact Form itself until the current version?
I have a site developed in Muse running on a client's Mac OSX 10.8 Server with a contact form in it that is generating some robot-created spam messages.

The decision to intially release Muse Forms as a BC only feature, and the decision to only support CAPTCHA on BC were both because of technical issues.
BC already had Form processing code, so Muse took advantage of that to deliver Forms. BC forms already had support for CAPTCHAs, so we added that to Muse as well.
Customers requested forms that worked on other web hosts, so the Muse team built a form processing solution using PHP which works on most web hosts. It's additional work to make CAPTCHAs work on other web hosts, and would be more difficult than building simple form processing, so Muse forms hosted not on BC don't have CAPTCHA support yet.
Muse forms hosted not on BC do attempt to do some throttling of form submissions based on the IP address of the submitter to attempt to limit spam submissions somewhat.

Contact forms on third party hosting

Contact form not working on site hosted with godaddy. I've looked at a number of threads on here and this seems to be a common problem with no real answers. As I understand it, contact forms since version 7 should work on other hosting platforms (other than business catalyst) I've just uploaded a site to godaddy via ftp but the contact form is not working correctly. I've been on to godaddy support but it is still not resolved and they are out of ideas. Does anyone know exactly what php settings should be? I've run the muse php diagnostic and seem to have an sql configuration problem. As a last resort I'll change the forms to jotform but feel that there must be a solution for the contact forms widget supplied within muse, especially for a major hosting company such as godaddy. Any help greatly appreciated!

Hi Gaurav,
Yes I've been through the guide and I've used the php diagnostic and there is a problem with the sql settings. I've been in contact with godaddy support to try and sort the server side php settings, they have done what they can but are out of ideas. I'm sure with godaddy being one of the major hosting companies that this has been tackled before. Do you know what the php settings should be for muse forms to work?

FLEX Contact Forms

As the summary states, I have been scouring the internet high
and low trying to find a WORKING contact form created in Flex 2. I
have yet to see it. And the frustration of building it myself is
starting to get to me. So I am asking for the help of anyone who is
either on the same trek or has already found success.

Hi again (".)
I've making this contact form on flash & i got the script for the action script but i'm unable to integrate a php script that would send the mail from my form.
I'm using two input feilds with instance names as theEmail and theMessage
Would relly appreciate it if i culd get some help on it. thank you so much.
Here is the action action script code i'm using -
snd_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_MouseClickHandler);
function fl_MouseClickHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
          if (theEmail.text == "" || theMessage.text == "")
                    theFeedback.text = "Please fill in all fields.";
          else
                    // create a variable container
                    var allVars:URLVariables = new URLVariables();
                    allVars.email = theEmail.text;
                    allVars.message = theMessage.text;
                    //send info to a URL
                    var mailAddress:URLRequest = new URLRequest("mail.php");
                    mailAddress.data = allVars;
                    mailAddress.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;
                    sendToURL(mailAddress);
                    theFeedback.text = "Thank You!";
theEmail.text = "";
                    theMessage.text = "";

Actaully is i got this Action script from a tutorial and i learnt from it but the mail.php was not part of the tutorial.
Would you be able to provide me a php script based on the instances names i mention above?

Muse contact form is not sending emails.

Muse site contact form is not sending emails. I perform a form check using this link http:/my_site.com/scripts/form_check.php. It is giving the message that SQL configuration problem.
Please help to solve this.

I posted a very similar issue into the bugs forum. "
Email form submit not sending to GoDaddy and Yahoo hosted email accounts"
I have tested the emails across various forms and it works but does not using the Muse form widget. I strongly believe this is an Adobe Muse issue and needs further support from Adobe. In the mean time I have begun using Jot Form on my sites (jotform.com)

MUSE CONTACT FORMS BEING HACKED!!!

I'm getting pretty tired of the reasons why adobe can't provide captcha or some other form of security on forms created in muse and hosted outside bc. There are several cheap third party form building solutions out there that can provide the functionality to create secure forms, are you saying that they are better than you?
Yes, I can build some pretty amazing sites with muse but I'm not interested in hosting with bc right now so what good are they and my monthly subscription to your service if my clients are only going to complain and threaten to fire me because their contact forms have been easily hacked by someone for god only knows what purpose. Every day now, I receive copies of hacked emails from client sites that I created in muse. Emails with strings of letters and numbers and two-way conversations some clowns seem to be having with each using these forms.
I'm sick and tired of this crap. If you can't provide me with a viable fix... I will have to consider other options non-adobe.

1. Limiting spam
What's the URL for a page with a form that's receiving spam? Have you verified SQL is installed and available on the server (by loading http://<thesitename.com>/scripts/form_check.php)? If SQL is available, the form code generated by Muse will limit the number of form submissions that will be accepted from a single IP address during a short period of time, which will deter some spammers.
2. Form solutions with CAPTCHA
As you've noted, there are many different form solutions available in the market that can, in general, very easily be integrated within a webpage on a Muse site via Object > Insert HTML (i.e. JotForms, WuFoo, Adobe Forms Central, CoffeeCup, Business Catalyst forms). Forms are a very deep area with entire large businesses devoted to providing rich forms solutions. Depending on your specific needs, the solutions available from these services will vary in cost from free to hundreds of dollars per month or more.
3. Cost of Business Catalyst
Hosting a website on Adobe Business Catalyst with support for forms created in Muse and 10 e-mail accounts requires a webBasics+ hosting plan. A webBasics+ plan costs $10.99/month with a one-year contract. If you would like to take advantage of the customer database and targeted e-mail marketing functionality within Business Catalyst that would require a webMarketing hosting plan, which is $16.99/month with a one-year contract. (One webBasics hosting plan is included with a Muse standalone subscription and 5 webBasics hosting plans are included with a Creative Cloud subscription. A webBasics plan includes support for Muse generated forms, but does not include any e-mail accounts.)
As for "What's the URL for a page with a form that's receiving spam? Have you verified SQL is installed and available on the server (by loading http://<thesitename.com>/scripts/form_check.php)? If SQL is available, the form code generated by Muse will limit the number of form submissions that will be accepted from a single IP address during a short period of time, which will deter some spammers." What exaclty is a "limit"? I cleaned 150 spam messages out yesterday and 79 out so far today. I have to do something soon because it's getting so bad that I can't stand to open the email for that course. And yes, I have green checkmarks on everything when I load the above-mentioned check for my website. I have forms central but began creating a form and realized that I cannot find an option to add captcha in the darned thing. I got keys for Goggle's Recaptcha, but can't for the life of me figure out how I'd add it to said Forms Central form . . . .

Why does my contact form on my Muse site not work?

Hi,
I have used Muse to design a website for a client without BC but the contact form doesn't work. I thought that Muse now has enabled this fueture for non BC users. I have ensured that the host has the PHP settings of 5.3 or higher and that Curl extentions and PHP sessions are enabled. However this was not originally the case and I was hoping that I had found the reason for this problem. What else do I have to do? I am not very good at coding. Your help would be very much appreciated.

Thank you P_nath,
I have followed the instruction on your document but I have still not solved this issue completely. The php check link shows that their is an isuue with the SQL configuration. The other two are green. When I change the receiving email address on my Muse contact form to my own yahoo email account it does come through properly, but when I put my clients email address it goes through as code (she uses Outlook Vista). I really want to sort this issue out without having to export this site as html because I am not good with coding. Does anyone know what is going on and how to make this form compatible with all email providers?

Contact form check boxes will not work on a Tablet

Hi there,
I created a website (Desktop) and a mobile version (Phone). I did not create one for a tablet but have relied on the Desktop version if someone views it on a Tablet.
Here's the thing, I created a contact form with checkboxes. It works great on a desktop (because people check the boxes with their mouse), however, it doesn't work on a Tablet, when you try and check the boxes with your finger.
Help!

How to write a SQL based on a view can get the best performance ?

Hi ,
I am thinking about performance of sql based on VIEW .For the best performance ,How to do when I create and use a view ? for example , Should i use key in my where clause as select data from table? (of cause ,this key refers to the key of table which structure the view. ) , Could you give me any advice on creating and using view in term of performance ?

Hi Guixin Chen,
Performance depends on various factors. The major key factors are:
1. Result Set should be Small
2. Amount of Data Transferred should be minimum.
3. Number of Data Transfers should be minimum.
4. Search Overhead should be minimum.
5. Database Load should be minimum.
For more details, check the following docs.
