Fault reporting Form is this possible?

Post by MystaMagoo »

I tried the web feedback form as it seems most near to what I need.

Trying to setup issue reporting forms but don't want 1 long list of tick boxes.
Lets say I have 4 subjects they can report issues on.
So they click on subject 1,which brings up 1 form with choices.
From which they would 'tick' appropriately then 'submit' which I want to lead to the next form of choices and then the next......
The end form I wish for all the previous forms data/choices to be included with a final 'comment' and then the final submit buttons sends all the info to an email or possible to use all the info to setup its own page?

I need to research how to get it all sent to an email yet...........

What I'll try to do is put more options within the blank/dead space

Did you try conditions?
if that does not work for you then you may need to write a script that handles all choices.

From what your asking you could try using the following this would allow you to create a multi part form. See the "Demo" showing how it works.

Both seem like decent options but not quite what I'm after.
If only the web feedback option went landscape.

Like this

Just need to configure email so I can try it.

What is your exact question?
Is it about the layout or the processing of the form?

Hi
Little bit of both.
I seem to have managed to get a better layout,copy/paste but it is 3 forms so not sure if the 1 submit button would gather info from all 3 forms?

If you have 3 forms then you will need 3 submit forms.

I suggest to first get one simple form working. Start at the basics.
Once you have that working you can add more options and eventually use multiple forms.

Can I make a form that has 3 or 4 columns?
When I start the wizard everything is in the 1 column and everything I add just lengthens the 1 column.

If you use a layout grid then you can have multiple columns.

Note that the form wizard is just an quick way to get you started, but you can also create forms manually, then you have more control over the layout.
Or you can first create the form with the wizard and then re-arrange the elements in multiple columns later.

Got it all looking ok and I and know how to add columns now,add labels and radio buttons.

I just cannot get the submit button to send the form data to my email.
Did what the guides said,I use gmail,set up xampp to also use gmail but nothing comes.

You have added a onclick event to the button which isn't actually needed. If you have just used the submit button alone you do not need to add any event as it already does this for you..

If you do require to add any event to do any other functions plus submit then you will need to add the following.

Also ensure that the button is part of the form or it will not work.

Got it all working with explanations for the radio button question too.

Is it possible to add a photo with the reports/forms that get sent to email?
Tried adding File Uploader but it didn't seem to send/add a pic I selected or maybe I missed some settings?

There is no standard solution to include an image, although technically you can use HTML to format the message and then manually add the code to include the image.

Trying to use extension dropzone,had it working a couple of times but currently not working and stumped why not?
It always says completed/uploaded but nothing appears in the servers/websites folders?

from the help file......
Upload folder
Specifies the folder where file will be uploaded to. The folder must already exist on
the server and it needs to be write enabled. The name should not include a trailing
backslash. Note: if this extension does not work for you, the problem is most
likely related to the upload folder configuration!


My setup at moment
https://prnt.sc/7zflsfSfAA0c
is it right?

have not tried all as yet but none work so far
http://cgdmaintenance.uk/Properties.html

I've mostly copy/pasted forms/pages and altered as needed but maybe I've missed a change in something?

Side note the dropzone box straddles the form.
If I put the dropzone into the restraints of the form then the outline and icon dissappear,just left with the upload button.

Note that dropzone is a third party script, so it is provided "AS IS". See also the license agreement that came with the extension.
However, I would not have share it if it did not work.
I have used it myself successfully several times.

You wrote

So, that probably means that there is configuration issue.

Note that drop zone should not be on a form. dropzone is already form itself.
Also, the upload folder should not have slashes.

Thanks for the help and info,really appreciated.
I've found the file loader extension looks just like dropzone and works the same way but for me it's just better.
It aligns itself within my forms columns correctly and keeps its dotted border.

The only thing I did different was not use an underscore in the fileuploader php file,which I shall try removing with dropzone and see if that was the problem.

But for now file uploader extension works perfect.
