AnyForm plugin

[datahell]

These type of elements do not contain user data. Their role is to provide visual aid to the person that fills-in the form. So, they are not been displayed in the e-mail, neither get saved in an other way (file/database). However what you ask can be done but needs plugin modification.

Ah ok. I thought of a different solution: Display the custom HTML as the "onsuccess" message in the page. This is working fine except... users need to scroll down to the form location on the page to see the message. Is there a way to scroll the user automatically to the success message when the page refreshes? I tried a few javascript solutions but they don't work unfortunately.

[datahell]

Yes, it can be done. Follow my instructions.

Open your form's XML and find the "onsuccess" part. There I guess you have some HTML content inside some tags. Add an ID attribute to any of these tags (preferable the first one) to "anyfsucmsg".

Example:
<onsuccess><![CDATA[
   <h3 id="anyfsucmsg">Success!</h3>
    <p class="anyf_success">This is a sample text...</p>]]>
</onsuccess>
Save the XML.

Now, go and open your template's index.php file and put the code below anywhere (prefer the top section before the starting the "html").

$js = 'if (document.getElementById(\'anyfsucmsg\')) { document.getElementById(\'anyfsucmsg\').scrollIntoView(); }';
eFactory::getDocument()->addNativeDocReady($js);

That's it.

Explanation: The code above after the page gets completely loaded it searches for an element with id "anyfsucmsg". If it find it it scrolls down the user to that element.

I didn't tested it, test it. I guess it will work fine. Off course you can rename "anyfsucmsg" to anything you want.

Beautiful solution! This works on a test installation using the FIVE template. It doesn't work on a production site - do you know if there are any dependencies, e.g. a particular version of Jquery?
If I figure out through troubleshooting, I'll post here. Thanks for this.

The code I wrote you doesn't use jQuery but native javascript (Elxis 5.x method "addNativeDocReady"). Requires Elxis 5.x, don't try it on Elxis 4.x. So except from Elxis version has no other dependency.

It should work on any template, and even on any other type of extension. If it doesn't work then make sure you have put the code correctly, and if it doesn't work again check if it conflicts with an other page scroll on the same page. A lin to the page is required for further assistance.

Ok, thanks!
I just noticed a slight discrepancy between the Anyform manual and the sample form, regarding the "I am not a Robot" verification:

Manual: <item type="norobot" name="norobot" label="" default="" tip=""></item>   
Sample Form: <item type="norobot" name="notrobot" label="" default="" tip="" />

Manual: name is norobot, there is a closing tag
Sample: name is notrobot and the tag is self-closing.

I don't know if this is important.

[datahell]

They are the same. It is an other way of writing the same thing.
<tag></tag> is equivalent to <tag />

Good morning

Working with Anyform version 2.1 on a localhost Elxis 5.3 rev2452 installation and setting in sample.xml file form as action "database" following the example of the documentantion, everything works fine and the submitted form data are saved into table elx_sample. But when I put into form an <item type="openfieldset" /> and at the end i close it with <item type="closefieldset" /> like below

Code: [Select]


<items>
        <item type="openfieldset" label="PERSONAL_INFORMATION" />
<item type="text" name="name" label="FIRSTNAME" required="1" default="{FIRSTNAME}" tip=""></item>
<item type="text" name="surname" label="LASTNAME" required="1" default="{LASTNAME}" tip=""></item>
<item type="range" name="age" label="AGE" first="0" last="120" step="1" default="30" tip=""></item>
        <item type="closefieldset" />
<item type="norobot" name="notrobot" label="" default="" tip="" />
<item type="button" name="sbt" label="" default="SUBMIT" button_type="submit" fieldboxclass="" />
</items>


then submitting the form I get the following error:

ERROR in file C:\apachefriends\htdocs\elxis53\includes\libraries\elxis\database\statement.class.php line 41
Uncaught PDOException: SQLSTATE[21S01]: Insert value list does not match column list: 1136 Column count doesn't match value count at row 1 in C:\apachefriends\htdocs\elxis53\includes\libraries\elxis\database\statement.class.php:41

Please have it in mind for a next update.

There is nothing wrong in AnyForm. Your database table should match XML items except from the items types listed below:
openfieldset, opentab, closetab, openrow, closerow, button, html, custom, note, info, opentoolbar, closetoolbar, starttabs, endtabs, norobot

There is one exception: The database table should contain a column for item type "closefieldset" if such an item exists in XML.
So your table should have these columns: id, firstname, lastname, age, cf (you can name your columns whatever you want)

Thank you for the additional information on subject. I did it as you suggest and it works fine.
