Form Output?
Started 16 years ago by MatthewGrdinic | 4 posts |

I have a custom CMS system I want to give users to ability to create forms for. The basic process would be to enter into the MachForm admin area, create the form, then copy/paste the html of the created form into an inline TinyMCE box, which is then submitted, processed by my system, then written to a static php page elsewhere on the site.
Could your system do this? In other words, I would need all the code of the created form, along with validation and form submission code, to be available for my CMS system to write to that static page.
I could also do some form of include, but I would need to know what to include.
Thoughts, suggestions?

Sorry, I'm afraid at this moment it won't be possible to do so, as MachForm only allow you to use the form using the iframe code.
Also I need to let you know that there is no actual php code is being generated for each form, since all validation and submission code is being handled dynamically by a single centralized file.

Hmmm, fair enough, but what about the embed iFrame option? Are there any limitations to that? I should be able to copy/paste the embed code in for the iFrame using the work flow described above with no problems right?
If you don't mind one other quick question: I want to have the back-end for this system behind SSL, but the forms public facing via standard http. Any foreseeable issues?
By this I mean, the directory this MachForm app would be in would be SSL secure, and presumably so would the php forms processing modules, but the calling form would not be SSL.
Oh yeah, still one more: I use mysqli, and do not have the mysql extension even installed on my server. Please tell me this is mysqli compatible!

The embed iframe option should be able to be used from anywhere, since the iframe would load the form from your machform instance.
Regarding SSL, there is a patch to enable SSL support. You should be able to either use https or http for the back-end or front-end forms.
And the last one, I'm afraid this would be bad news for you. MachForm doesn't use mysqli for its connection. MachForm uses the standard mysql extension only. Sorry.
