Contact Form Help (code included)

[Selfprodigy]

Okay i had this working earlier today. I started to make updates, and
a few edits but, now it's not working right. In theory you fill out
your info it's sent to an email address, and it gives the thank you
for submitting message. Then there is supposed to be a link that takes
you back to the home page. This was all working fine until I added
more fields. Here is my includedobj code _contact.cfm

<cfoutput>
<!----Default Values ---->
<cfset showForm=1>
<cfparam name="form.firstName" default="">
<cfparam name="form.lastName" default="">
<cfparam name="form.emailAddress" default="">

<cfparam name="form.phoneNumber" default="">
<cfparam name="form.address" default="">
<cfparam name="form.apt" default="">
<cfparam name="form.city" default="">
<cfparam name="form.state" default="">
<cfparam name="form.zipCode" default="">
<cfparam name="form.comments" default="">
<cfset error="">

<!----check if form has been submitted--->

objForm.emailAddress.validateEmail("Please Enter A Valid email
address");
objForm.comments.validateNotNull("Please Enter a message");
//-->
</script>
</form></cfif></cfoutput>



Here is my custom type code

contact.cfm.

<cfset stConfig=structNew()>
<cfset stConfig.contactEmail="selfprodigy@...">
<cfset stConfig.thankyou="Thank you for taking the time to contact us.
We will get back to you shortly">

The only thing i can figure is that i moved the include page to a
different navigation mode but i set it up the same way...

If you see anything that i'm missing please please please let me know.

as a side note now when you click on the submit button it just go
straight to the home page.  It doesn't validate the fields, or send
the email.

Is this a new project?  Have you considered looking at how this is
done in FarCry 5.0?  There is a feedback content type included in the
generation of FarCry CMS that ships on FarCry 5.0.

PS. we shipped a release candidate for 5.0 last night

Hmm interesting

I would upgrade except this site is for a rather large company
(100million plus per year) I'm a full time employee there, and i've
been working on this for 3 weeks. I've been able to configure farcry
to meet almost all the demands they need. At this point upgrading to a
new system im totally unfamiliar with doesn't practical.

The only thing i have left to do with this site is get the contact
pages working, and setup a page for new employees to submit resumes.

With this contact page best i can figure is for some reason it's
bypassing custom contact.cfm page.  At this point i dont care about
the validation i can fix that later i just need it to email.

Well its pretty much the same as 4.0, but with a new security model
and extra goodness :)  The upgrade is push-button simple for vanilla
sites.  But heh, if you're stuck on 4.0 for the moment its not a bad
platform.

I don't know -- sounds like the form action.  Perhaps just put
nothing.

In any event the way the contact us form sample is approached in the
5.0 release is something you can do in 4.0.  You may even be able to
copy the code without change.  the _contact.cfm is pretty old school
example that pre-dates the ease of formtools -- its still a valid
approach.  We just tend not to use "includes" for anything these days.

Best regards,

I will look into it... Oh and thanks by the way i've fixed many
problems reading your posts. We also purchased a full license for the
jwplayer when the plugin came out.

Overtly, everything looks correct to me... but a couple of  
suggestions...

- I'm not sure if qForms still works with Farcry or not anymore.  
Instead, you might want to consider building your form with cfform  
and using the built in validation.
- you might want to consider making a custom config for the items you  
are adding projectname/system/dmConfig/ this way you could call these  
items through the application.config scope instead of adding them as  
you have done. This also makes them easy to update through the Farcry  
admin.

- Finally, where are you submitting the form to? (action). Since the  
actual page actually processes the form, you might want the action to  
be #cgi.script_name#?#cgi.query_string#

This would 'self-submit'.

good luck!
