cmuskett Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 I wanted to put some forms on my site to replace the ones I'm using from Bravenet. I have a form for people to ask questions or to leave comments, forms for people to apply to adopt things that I've made too. The thing is.. I downloaded pspFormGenerator and made a great form. Then I went to make another form and it changed the 1st form . Does anyone know of something not so frustrating to use to make forms ??

TCH-Sales Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Well, inside your CPanel you have access to create both a phpbb board and an invisionboard! Both are great, and it's as easy as clicking which one you want! TCH Rocks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmuskett Posted May 6, 2003 Author Share Posted May 6, 2003 I know about message boards... that's not what I'm after.. I am after FORMS that people fill out... to leave comments and whatnot... example here: http://dddezigns.com/contact.html.. this is what I've been using and would like to create my own forms instead of using Bravenet ones.. I'm beginning to get a headache over this LOL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TCH-Sales Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 Alright, then I'd say you might want to try the Form Mail tool in your CPanel. Here's our help page on it: http://www.totalchoicehosting.com/help/id65.htm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmuskett Posted May 6, 2003 Author Share Posted May 6, 2003 I've looked at that one and I just don't understand it... I feel like such a ditz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leezard Posted May 6, 2003 Share Posted May 6, 2003 have you tried creating your own forms in a program like dreamweaver or frontpage? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmuskett Posted May 6, 2003 Author Share Posted May 6, 2003 I tried with frontpage and couldnt get it to work right. I had to make a new web for the form page itself. I got it up and it worked... then I decided to change something and re-published it and it didn't work anymore. I used the form page wizard to initially make the page and it put choices that I had as check boxes and I wanted them to be in a drop down box. When I made that change, the form no longer worked.

cmuskett Posted May 6, 2003 Author Share Posted May 6, 2003 Nevermind about giving me any more help on this one LOL I've decided I'm just going to do a message board and have my visitors go there to leave comments and request for graphics. One of these days, when I get a little smarter , I'll figure out how to do my own forms LOL Thanks, everyone, for your help and patience on this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And love your site. Just got PSP7, and still reading the book, big change from PS. So I will have to try your tutorials, when I get to know the program better.
