Web form Help

Hey BC Gurus....
Question. I have a client who I am redesign their site and on their current website they have a resources section for people to download whitepaper etc.
Now they want to replicate the way that they currently have these set out... The process is as follows:
1. click the link on the page
2. re-direct the link to a webform to capture individuals details
3. submit and then re-direct to thank you message
4. specified downloaded file is then sent to your email address as listed on the form.
See the attached process.
Question is... Can this be done? The form and the thank you message is easy, but is the ability to sent the file via email do-able? Given these will be different on each link, but the form will remain the same.
We also only want to fill the form in once so that you don't need to keep filling it in each time...
For site reference check out their current page @:
http://www.welcome-rt.com/resources/
HELP!!!
cheers
Shane

If you must email the user the download:
Use ecommerce to setup the products as digitial downloads. give them a price of 0.00 and use the "Free" payment method type. Create an account for the user when they fill out the checkout form. Then use appropriate layout/styling/scripting to make sure the whole system does not look and feel like an actual store. May require some finesse, but should not be to difficult.
Much easier though to just create literature items and put them behind a secure zone. Let the user fill out the form which will also subscribe them to the zone, and then they goto a secure page on the site where they can click the download link.
The email part is what makes this complicated.

UCM Web Form, help needed

Hi,
I just have started working on Oracle UCM. I am majorly stuck with web form (HCSF).
Below is the form code,
<form name="CommentsPageForm" method="POST" action="">
          <input type=hidden name="IdcService" value="SUBMIT_HTML_FORM">
          <input type=hidden name="dID" value="">
          <input type="hidden" name="RevisionSelectionMethod" value="Latest">
          <input type=hidden name="FormDocTitleScript" value="">
          <input type="hidden" name="RedirectURL" value="?IdcService=GET_FILE&dDocName=&Rendition=Web&RevisionSelectionMethod=Latest">

</form>
If I keep the dID input field then it throws an error message like following
Content Server Request Failed
Unable to submit HTML form. The HTML form is not the latest revision.
If I remove the dID input field then it throws an error message like following
Unable to execute service (null) and function computeDocID.
(System Error: Either dID must be specified or RevisionSelectionMethod must not force the choice of a dID.)
I have tried to remove and add other input fields but nothing has worked.
Please help me out with this. Please point out where I made the mistake. I copied
codepieces from Bex Huff's book, that too had same error.
Regards
Udita

hi All,
I'm facing the same issue, I have a soap request which will update the metadata field on the service call.
The request url is coded as
var requestUrl = httpCgiPath + "?IdcService=UPDATE_DOCINFO" + "&dID=" + datafileID +"&dDocName=" + datafileDocName + "&xComments=" + inputComments.value + "&dDocTitle=" + inputTitle.value + &idcToken=#active.IdcToken" + "&IsSoap=1";
When I fetch the dynamic url and tried in browser then I get following error:
Content Server Request Failed
Unable to update the field. The authorization token is invalid. It has either expired or is not appropriate for the current request.
You may need to reload an earlier page in order to proceed.
See I have added idcToken as you guys suggested still token issue :(
Any pointer for this issue will be helpful.
Thanks

Help Needed in resolving problems with Hyperion Planning Web Forms

Hi,Can anyone help me with this problem?Problem:We are running Planning 2.3.1 I have created Webform & security(application owner has the ownership).Somehow Iam getting only 7 dimensions into webform & 1 dimension is missing in that. But whereas 8 dimensions are there in Essbase.Hsp_Rates dimension is available in essbase outline but Iam unable to see that dimension in the webform selection.And using the webform Iam unable to load any data ...the form is graded/protected.Is this happening because i dont have the requirement of 1 member from each Dimension?Please someone let me know why this is happening what might be the reason.ThanksUser

Hi,The dimension Hsp_Rates is a hide dimension used by Planning to store the exchange rates for the differentes exchanges.All the standard information is stored on HSP_InputValue member (in this dimension).When you create a web form, Planning automatically asign this member (but don't show it).Probably you can't load data because you are selected on Version dimension a Standard Botton Up version, and you only can load data on level 0 members in this type of version.If you want to load data on upper level members, then you need to create a Standard Target version (in the Version dimension) and select it in the form.Please, advice if this solve your problemClaudioBPD Solutions

Help with web form script. PHP, CGI, Perl???

anyone willing to help with a web form script? I have a form built, but cant seem to figure out the scripting! Should I be using Perl, CGI, PHP... What do I need to enable? I am a complete novice when it comes to scripts. Looking for a little friendly help.

Here is a simple bit of PHP to stick in the page your form posts to. You would need to edit the first three variables to your liking, and add the html you want to serve afterwards:
<pre>
<?php
$emailFrom = '[email protected]';
$emailTo = '[email protected]';
$emailSubject = 'Subject';
$date = date('l, \t\h\e dS \o\f F, Y \a\t g:i A');
$browser = $HTTPSERVER_VARS['HTTP_USERAGENT'];
$hostname = $HTTPSERVER_VARS['REMOTEADDR'];
$message = "$date\n\nAddress: $hostname\nBrowser: $browser\n\n";
foreach ($_POST as $key => $value) {
$message .= $key . ": " . $value . "\n";
$mailResult = mail($emailTo,$emailSubject,$message,"From: $emailFrom");
?>
</pre>
This script will grab the server's date and the submitter's address and browser type. It will then list the name and value of each form field you have put on your form.
Also, this script expects your form method="post".
Lastly, you can offer alternate text later on in your html page based on the success of the above script with a snippet like this:
<pre><?php
if ($mailResult) {
echo "Your comments have been received thank you.";
} else {
echo "There was an error. Please try again or contact us using an alternate method.";
?></pre>

Web forms in dreamweaver with godaddy. Help.

Please Help.
Regarding web form mailers using Dreamweaver cs4.
I’m a newbie to hosting and forms please help.
My scenario: I have a WINDOWS hosting account with GoDaddy. I am designing a simple little website that I want a form attached to it. You can view this website at palmertraditions.com/contactus.html. This will be the second website I have with Godaddy so they don’t support/help with any forms with “the secondary” website. I am using Dreamweaver and a friend to assist me in my design. I have done everything they have told me to try regarding their provided form mailers,
( ie <form action="_gdForm/webformmailer.asp" method="post">). I also tried their php one and that didn’t work either.
I talked to another guy at GoDaddy and he said that I should try a 3rd party script. ??? (and I should use asp.)
Here is my html on my webpage that the form is on.
<div id="body">
    <div id="left">
      <p><strong>under construction</strong>...</p>
      <p> </p>
    </div>

Help with Business Catalyst Web forms and Adobe Muse.

I created a websform to log into a secure zone using business catalyst. I pasted the webform's html into Adobe Muse. After publishing my site. The websform I created in business catalyst is deleted, but I can see all of the forms that I created using Muse in the webform section. Is there a fix for this problem? Thanks
This is the page with the forms. http://www.highestgoodclothing.com/login.html

There is a workaround. It takes a little more work, but it is definitely worth it and will solve your problem. I subscribed and learned from tutorials on the www(.)trainsimple(.)com. They have a video series called "Muse CC Business Catalyst Integration" which was very helpful. The issue that everyone on here is referring to is covered in the 3 videos labelled, "Email Sign Up Checkbox", "Moving Muse Webforms to Business Catalyst" and "Email Marketing".
Essentially, what you want to do is create a form in Business Catalyst, turn that form into a module, assign a tag to that module, then put the tag into Muse using Object > Insert HTML. This will solve Muse deleting the web forms everytime.

: Ciao Nicolas
Yes,Nicolas..
then only application ruuning at port 9000 is isfrv60 i stardetd.
Not only..i can note, that if i start ifrsv60 port=9000 for first
and then i modify then listener number port of OAS to 9000, the
listener applet say me something like..i cannot able to fork...
So, i MUST to set AOS listener port to 9000,and AFTER start
ifsrv60 on port 9000.
Only in this way there are'nt errors..but nothing happens..
Same story if the number port isn't 9000 ..
However..i ask to myself, why the release note and guide on OAS
web pages are fills of all examples to how to do buldin
cartridges and application, but there aren't any examples about
web-forms!!

DI server - help on web-form

Hi,
I wanted to run DI server sample as I am looking for some source code on SAP B1 web-forms. I tried to run the WSClient appliaction provided with the DI server samples. the server is running on Windows server 2003 R2(service pack 1), SAP B1 2005 B PL 40, IIS 6.
the SAP server, IIS and license server are on the same machine. I have tried all the combinations for server name , license server etc but, I am unable to login at first place. it gives some 'The request failed with HTTP status 404 : not found'.
Also, to test the basic connection status, I copied Global.asa, Default.htm and WebSAPManageSoap.asp and ran it.
it gave me 'server.createobject Access error'. it seems that I am missing some basic prerequisite. or there are some user-rights issue. any help on this will be highly appreciated as I am clueless on how to go ahead.
also let me know If I am posting in wrong forum
thanks and regards
Binita
Edited by: Binita Joshi on May 21, 2008 3:27 PM
the wwroot folder, where the above mentioned files are copied does have IUSR permissions for read,execute.

Hi David,
I m here with one more round of trivial questions :).
I went thru the help of B1WS and found tht it does not apply to B clusters of SBO.
Now, It seems that DI server is the only option to use.
in this forum itself, I read several thread stating that DI server may offer better performance over DI API but, implemetations are easier in case of DI API over DI server.
It would be very helpful if someone let me know that for using web-service that is integrated with SAP B1 (with applying the original SAP business logic(i.e wht we achieve using DI API business objects in case of addons) ), is DI server the only way to go with?
If yes, what licenses do I need to have to 1) develope the web-forms that use DI service and 2) to have this web application implemented on client machine?
any help on this will be highly appreciated as I don't know from where to start.
thanks and regards ,
Binita

Web forms issue clashed - help needed!

hello experts,
i need an urgent as my website is now live, its beyond post-deadline. So I know a kind helpful solution to my problem. Ok here's the thing. I am unable to upload two webform in a single page. If i do add several web form into one page, the email notification won’t work. in other words, i will not receive any enquiries from customers. why is it not possible? i need to add different web form to different pricing option. please check out what i mean at my photography webpage at http://www.purpleperfect.com/wedding-offer-pricing.html
please help me resolve this issue, thank you in advance.

i guess that makes sense.... at least i need to add a second form at the bottom of the page, right on "click here".
btw, i have tested the forms, and it works fine. but if i add two different forms from bc into a single page, none of the forms will work within that page. i had this issue previously with my client website, but i never needed two webforms in a single page until today. do help me out.

Web Form Editor - basic help needed!

I must be the world's dumbest designer. I am trying to create a contact form in Business Catalyst to be placed in Muse. Now, I use Muse because I know very little about coding, so that is probably why I am struggling so bad creating this form. Typically, I use the form building widget in Muse to create my forms, but my client would like to include a dropdown list and an "add file" function to the form. I have watched a couple videos on youtube on how to set up a form, but I am getting hung up on the formatting. The form technically has everything I need, but it is horribly ugly! I have tried using the "Customize Web Form" option within BC (as well as the Style Builder), but nothing I do makes any difference.
See for yourself:
THis is what the form looks like in Muse. I manually added the blue box in Muse. There are so many things wrong I don't know where to start! The form fields are too small, I can't change the font or color and I want to get rid of the Title. I have tried playing with the code, but nothing works. Is there a tutorial somewhere teaching us how to edit a form using the built in web form editor?
Thank you so much for your help!

You need to assign a class to each input element and then target those classes with CSS.
Example:
<input type="text" name="FirstName" id="FirstName" class="cat_textbox" maxlength="255">
CSS:
.cat_textbox {
width: 300px;
height: 25px;
border-radius: 3px;
box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 2px 0 #DADADA;
-webkit-box-shadow: inset 1px 1px 2px 0 #DADADA;
border-color: #B6B6B6;
border-style: solid;
border-width: 1px;
I can help you out more in a few hours. I highly recommend learning as much CSS & HTML as you can.

I tried opening it with the Illustrator, Fireworks, but not sure how to get the white fields to actually work like a text field. Hotpot will only link to another page which I don't want. I want the user to be able to enter their email address or whatever info is required then be able to submit. Please help!

That graphic is for making a wireframe/design. It cannot offer any real form functionality.
To create a form with that appearance, you will need to wrestle with HTML, CSS, and your choice of scripting languages to process the input.

How do I create a dependant drop down in a web form?

I am trying to add a web form to a web page that includes a dependant drop down menu. For example, I'd like there to be a drop down menu called "Interested Class" with three fields: "Tribe Fit", "Tribe Life" and "Tribe Core". When a user selects one of these fields ("Tribe Fit" for example), I want a new drop down menu to appear with the following choices: "7:00am", "12:30pm", "7:00pm".
I have attempted this here and as you can see it's not working at the moment. The time drop down fields should be hidden until an "Interested Class" has been selected.

I've placed my JS code in the HTML view of the actual web page as I noticed when I place it in the actual custom form it doesn't carry through to the page. I don't know if I'm placing my JS in the correct place though.
Here is a snippet of my code if it helps:
<tr>
                        <td><label for="CAT_Custom_328771">Interested Class</label><br />
                        <select name="CAT_Custom_328771" id="CAT_Custom_328771" class="cat_dropdown">
                        <option value=" ">-- Please select --</option>
                        <option value="Tribe Fit">Tribe Fit</option>
                        <option value="Tribe Life">Tribe Life</option>
                        <option value="Tribe Core">Tribe Core</option>
                        </select>
                        </td>
                    </tr>
                    <tr>
                        <td>
                        <div id="fit" class="times">
                        <select>
                        <option value="7:00am">7:00am</option>
                        <option value="12:30pm">12:30pm</option>
                        <option value="7:00pm">7:00pm</option>

//]]>
</script>
        </form>
Can anyone please help explain to me how I can make this work? I am only a JS beginner - so please try to explain in simple terms if possible.
Thank you!
Nicole

This wont work, Needs to be a lot more then this and CSS to hide things rather then script hiding them.
Nicole, The times that are availible I gather differ depending on the type of the dropdown?
You do not need multiple time dropdowns.
Steps you need to do first on the form:
1. Ensure the custom form field dropdown for interested class exists.
2. Have custom dropdown with all the times that any of them can be. This is CSS hidden by default.
3. Also CSS hide all the options in the select as well in your CSS.
Next can you show what classes have what times as an example then can put the code more relevent to your example you can work off.
The code will follow along the lines of....
Dropdown On Change
          If selected options is xxx class then
          fade in option times dropdown
          Show these otpion times
        if selected option is zzz class then
          fade in option times dropdown
               show these times
More control as you need to work properly, only two dropdowns needed.
