Hi Rob,

How about you manage the results template again then switch to Basic Text Box and increase the width or the table/column?  Let me know how that works for you.  Thanks!

Hi Candace,

The template hasn't actually got a table in it. I added the table in my post above only to demonstrate what the results look like.

I'm just using the default template as generated by the "Generate Full Results Template" link in the module.

The template is liek this:

$(Company_FullResults)

$(Fullnam_FullResults)

$(Streeto_FullResults)

$(Website_FullResults)

...and so on.

However, when I checked the source on the "view results" page, it is being squished into the 1st column of a 5 column table... the "ViewFormResults_tblResultsGrid" table.

The 1st column of that table has a fixed width of 144 pixels. Hence why it displays as it does.

So, whilst the Custom template works, it is placed in this narrow column, which effectively makes it not work.

Regards,
Rob

Hello Robax,

I have tried using the same feature as yourself, the generate template and it works as it's supposed to. Are you saving the template? That could be a possibility by it's being squished into one column. 

If you're saving the template, I would recommend testing the use of a table tag with 3 columns and just 1 row. Also add in each column something like this:

First Name: $(FirstName)

Just try to test it out to see if the template is picking up what your telling it to via the editor. Also make sure you're in the source part of the editor when your inserting HTML.

Please let me know if the template listens to the HTML you use.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hi Ryan,

Here it is set up on betasprings
http://www.betasprings.com/Dynamic-...fault.aspx

Go and view the results and you'll see the issue.

No custom template is applied, and it doesn't matter anyway because the template only applies to what's inside the column.

The thing to figure out is what is creating the narrow column in the first place. In my view it is a result of what I said in the first post in this thread... labels and fields in the same column. The View Results page probably doesn't handle this feature.

Have a look and see what you think.
Rob

Just bumping this up again because I've done all the requested leg work now and would like it to be verified when someone has the time.
Regards
Rob

Hi Rob,

Don't worry your leg work has not gone un-noticed. Unfortunately this issue just wasn't discovered or reported until after the 3.4 release was already packaged and going through QA/Documentation. I have made note of it for the next incremental patch or hot fix that we have. We can probably just change the width directly within the viewresults.vb file directly but I am not sure which one needs changed yet as its listed with that width several places. Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

Hello Rob,

We have just created a patch for the view form results part of Dynamic Forms. Can you please go to betasprings.com and test it out and make a test page, Dynamic Forms 3.4 patch is now installed on betasprings.

Let us know if this issue is fixed now and if you're able to achieve what you were hoping.

If you have any questions please let me know.

Thanks,

Ryan

Hello Robax,

Thank you for trying out our partly patched version of Dynamic Forms 3.4 on Betasprings. You're a great participating customer and we value that, thank you again for confirming your reported issue is now working. We are however working on the upload image. So please have patience with this separate issue.

If you have any questions please let us know.

Thanks,

Ryan

Is this going to be fixed for 3.3, too? Having hardcoded widths (or any hardcoded formatting for that matter) is a big fail, IMHO.

Are there also issues in the 3.4 version of DF with the custom results template? I set that up for each of my forms since they are very lengthy and the question labels vary in length. I have been using tables to format them so that everything lines up nicely... and I'm sure that this used to work... but now I can't seem to get it to pick up the column widths no matter what I do. The result ends up being wider than a single browser screen - you have to scroll to the right to see the question responses.

I'm still seeing this issue with 4.0.10.  I have two notes fields on the form and had a customer fill out one with a long paragraph.  The paragraph appears on the results screen as one long line, you need to then scroll horizontally far to the right to see the entire contents and cells beside it.

I have tried several width tags, break, etc. within the TD element and creating a DIV element within the cell itself.  I can copy the HTML source and pull it up in a browser with the same cell contents substituting the token for the value and it looks fine, but within DF it won't pick up the formatting for the width at all.

Hi,

Yes we discovered this and have updated this in the upcoming patch that we plan to post by the end of the week (its ready actually now so if you open a support ticket I can get you a copy early). This fixes a number of issues including file upload problems, View Results problems, a few other issues with IPORTABLE that were discovered, etc... The view form results now is more controlled via a Table with two Table Cells and CSS classes for both field labels and field responses that you can control.

Thanks,

Chad
