I have tried many ways, but have been unsuccessful at getting my form to publish.

I use a 3rd party host server.

I think I need a one-time walk through step-by-step to get a form published.

Could someone please assist with this?

All you need to do Keith is upload all the files in the _exported folder to your server. Do that, and the form will work perfectly. ;)

At what level? I think this is most likey where I'm having the problem. I have loaded the folder at the main folder level and the secondary level where the specific page are located.

If you look at this link you can see in the middle of the page what I am getting after publication.

One of the instructions is to paste the html code between the <body> and </body>.

I've tried that and I'm not sure I am pasting in the correct place.

Hi Keith,

The best walk through I can offer is as follows:

1) When you have your form completed, go to menu File->Export->Manual Server Setup
2) Choose a location, or create a new folder (this is merely where a local copy of files will reside)
3) In the resulting dialog, click the button marked "Copy to Clipboard"
4) Next, open your html editor and paste (CTRL-V) the code where you want your form
5) Save your work and upload the html file that now contains the pasted code for the form
6) Now, in your FTP client, locate the folder where you put everything in step 2 above
7) Upload the ,php file & associated directory to the SAME folder used in step 5 above
8) Hey presto! The form should now be operational and self hosted.

PS: If you're using CoffeeCup Visual Site Designer, use the HTML tool to paste the form as per step 4 above and then drag the resulting box to the location of your choice on your page. Then go to Edit->Add Files and add the .php file to the {root}. Then create the directory named as per your saved one & add the files there accordingly, to recreate the structure needed to replicate the structure created in step 2 above.

<iframe width="402" height="566" style="border:none; background:transparent; overflow:hidden;"
__________ src="hothregistration/hothregistration.html">
&lt;a href="hothregistration.php" title="hothregistration"&gt;Check out
my CoffeeCup Form&lt;/a&gt;
</iframe>


I just added a form to a VSD site, so compared your code with mine. Found this in my iframe:
id="fb_iframe"
It's where I put the underline in your code – after overflow:hidden;"

Make sure you copy/paste all the form code :D

Dave,

Thanks! Your "PS" is what finally got the form to publish, albeit not the way I designed it, but still it's published.

Once it published, I did a test submittal, and unfortunately, it had error messages upon submittal.

Trying to sortthose out now.

Unfortunatley, that's beyond me. Don't know what the "iframe" is.

I don't think you uploaded everything Keith. I am getting an error accessing some of the primary scripts:

http://holdemontheharbor.com/hothregist … ertest.php

Normally that error however means PHP Sessions are not enabled.

What does that mean? How can I fix it?

I never had this much difficulty with WFB Classic!
