 |
|
Over a year ago I created an obituary submission form for our genealogy site. About 3-4 weeks ago the obituary text was no longer being forwarded. The person submitting the form is receiving an email back showing all the data completed, but the person receiving the emailed data does not get the form text. Interestingly enough, although both sender and receiver get an email, no entry is found in the message center.
How should I proceed? |

Further information:
Finally found the submission in the message center. Everything in the form is complete as shown on the confirmation email. The person who is to receive the data gets the completed form data WITHOUT the text block.
Thanks for any help... |

Good Day,
Please delete the problem field from the form's administration panel and then rebuild it. Once you have done this, update the form HTML on your live site. This should resolve the problem.

Since the confirmation email and the message in the message center both show the obituary text, this would indicate to me that my HTML code is correct. Once submitted, if I understand correctly, my HTML code is no longer part of the process. Since the text is present in the message that is stored on your site, it would seem to me that the failure to forward that text would be on your end.
However, I removed the text in question, rebuilt the form. Then I installed the field back and rebuilt the form. The new HTML text was installed on my site page. A test was run and the obituary text was passed successfully. A couple of days later others tried to submit and again the text was missing!!
What shall I do next?? |

Have you manually sent a test through on your site?
Also, make sure that the website the form is set on is using the UTF-8 character set. You should have a line of code in the head of your html document that says:
| Code: |
| <meta http-equiv="Content-type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8" /> |
