Re: How to Add a Feeback Form

Thomas,

I am a complete idiot when it comes to doing anything in FrontPage other
than "Create new page from existing page" and type in text.

I opened FP. I created a folder named Feedback form. I copied the files to
the feedback form folder. I published everything to the remote site.

That is as far as I know how to go.

I tried attaching the demoform.asp to my navigaiton structure but that
doesn't help. All it displayed when I opened the page was a bunch of
scripts. I need to know where (what file, page, asp, whatever it is called)
that I attache to my navigaiton structure such that when I click on that
page the feedback form opens, the user validates it, and it is e-mailed to
me.

I saw nothing in that script that indicates where the form is e-mailed to so
I assume that I am supposed to but some of that script in my existing
feedback.asp file???

Open your live/remote site in FP, then create a folder, then import
the files into your web. You will also have to process your form via
ASP, instead of the FP extensions. This would be the same if using
the PHP script.

Thomas,

Yes that would probably work if I only knew how and where to start. There
are no instructions other than "Copy these files to your IIS
directory and open demoform.asp. First question, what is an IIS
directory? All I want to do it incorporate the code that generates the
random
number and validation into my existing feedback form or if I have to
then modify a form to meet my needs. --

I don't host any sites with mvps, so I don't know if they support
PHP or not. There are similar script available written in ASP or
ASP.net.

Here is a link to an ASP method:

Thomas,

Thanks. I use the mvps.org server to post my webpages:
http://gregmaxey.mvps.org/ I have sent an e-mill to admin@xxxxxxxx
asking if the server
supports PHP (it does support ASP as that is my current feedback
script) but have not gotten an answer. Maybe you know if you use
that server? I understand your suggestion on what to do generally, but
this
freecontactform site appears to be just starting up and they don't
have the support available yet. There are some very basic
directions provided with the download, but like I said initially,
I think a person needs more than the basic grasp of Frontpage and
scripting than I have to understand it. What I like about this
freecontactform script is that it requires
the person submitting the feedback to sum up a pair of random
numbers to validate the form which should eliminate the scads of
spam I get as feedback. --

You need to first determine what server-side (PHP, ASP, ASP.net,
CFM) scripting is supported by your web host, then you can ask
for help based on that information. Then someone may be able to
recommend a solution.
In general, if you download a 3rd party script, then you need to
go back to source for support.
Let say your web host does support PHP, then instead of someone
having to have knowledge of the specific script you are trying to
use, that has no support, they could recommend another possible
solution.

"Do you want to help?" Apparently not.

Let's say I do contact my web host and determine that it doesn't
support PHP applications. Then suppose I decide to find a server
that does. Then would I have sufficient cause to seek help
applying the code in the freecontact form scripts? --

Thomas,

Thanks for the cloudy response. Being an Word MVP myselft, I
understand the tendancy to be a bit abbreviated at times in a
response. In this case, it doesn't help. That is a bit
cynical as I believe I made it clear that I don't know what
PHP is. Hence, I hardly know if my server supports PHP or not.
The blog is of no help. What I am looking for here is someone
that has applied this application (or willing to try) and then
share with me and the rest of this group how they did it. Do
you want to help? --

You need to contact the author of the application.

I have a very basic website with a User Feedback form. Today I
saw a link to a free Contact form that validates the user
data and asks a question to eliminate spam.
http://www.freecontactform.com/ The down load contains a zip file
that extracts as a bunch
of php file extensions. There are some "basic" instructions but
unfortunately they must be written for someone that
understands what a php file is and how to use them Hopefully
someone hear
does, likes the free script and will be willing to provide a
few details on how one would incorporate it in an existing
website. Thank you. --
