Hi David,
Which one do you Like? Do any of the themes match your sites look already? How much information are you collecting? Remember if you don't like any of the themes the way they are you can customize one or start out with a blank canvas and make one from scratch.:)
I can't hear what I'm looking at.

Thanks for your quick reply Eric, but where did you get themes from? I am asking how most would hoose to upload there information, via MySQL, csv or the integrated s-drive version..

Personally i like the idea of upload via MySQL but that's not working for some reason, but i thought i might find out how others would suggest i do it...

For a login form you're going to need that to integrate with some other code as the form itself won't act as a login setup. Just sayin' in case you're not aware of that. I'm hoping you are though :P

Click on "File" then "New from Template"

Ok, I just was going by your first post.:) You seemed lost.:lol:
The html and the css for the form will be in a folder after you do a manual export.;)

Hiya David,

If you want to export the form you need to have the full version and if you have that you can export it and upload it to any server you like. The Lite version is restricted to S-Drvie only, and the Full version can do both S-Drive and your own servers. If you have the full version just hit export on the File menu instead of publish

wow , i thought it might create a few simple files, a small form creates heaps...

But thanks Eric, i found it, when i exported it created a folder called "fbapp" do you know if that folder is necessary or not?

Also, the code it tells me to add to the website doesnt load the form, does anyone know the correct directory format for this thing to work straight up???

you need to add the code it gave you exactly as is (unless you restructure how you place the files on your site) and then take the folder and the php file that is "inside" the folder it created and put those in your directory of your site in the same location as the page the form is on. Not sure what that "fbapp" file is so I would guess it is something to do with the name of your form? For the most part, upload the "contents" of the folder it created which contains a folder and a file. Upload those 2 things as is and it should work if you put the code on the page. Put the code within a <div></div> pair and you should be fine.

Have something to add? We’d love to hear it!
