I am an admitted newbie, so I may be missing something. I have looked at the UserGuide and the tutorial from DNNCreative.
I am trying to add a form to a page and have followed the steps to add one to the page. According to the guide and the tutorial, after the question wizard is run the forms are supposed to show on the page. They aren't showing up. Is there a step I may be missing? I am logged in as the host super user and have the edit function selected.
Thanks for any advise!

Hi, very strange. What version of DNN and Dynamic Forms are you using? Is there any javascript error on the page? If you go to Admin / Event viewer, do you see any error messages listed there also? -- David |

Can you click on the "control panel" icon of DF? If so, an you go to "Manage Questions" and see any questions that were created by the wizard?
Also, if you were to create a whole new page and add the DF module and try the quick wizard to create one or two textbox fields, could the same problem be duplicated? -- david |

This is the only thing in there:
Add or update your dynamic forms settings below. Dynamic forms fields can be either HTML or a form field such as textbox, dropdownlist, radio buttons, or a checkbox. Additional options allow you to mark some fields as required and others as optional, add JavaScript validation to a field, choose to take advantage of querystring and session variables, and much more. For a full list of available options and help please refer to the Dynamic Forms User Guide located at datasprings.com.
There wasnt any difference in a new page.

HI, for a quick fix to this issue, please go to Host / SQL and type in:
ALTER PROCEDURE {databaseOwner}[{objectQualifier}DynamicForms_GetDynamicQuestionEventByAffectedQuestion]
@DynamicQuestionID as uniqueidentifier
AS
select * from {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}DynamicForms_DynamicQuestionEvent
Where (DynamicQuestionEventID In (Select DynamicQuestionEventID from {databaseOwner}{objectQualifier}DynamicForms_QuestionEventHiddenFields Where DynamicQuestionID = @DynamicQuestionID)
OR DynamicAffectedQuestionID = @DynamicQuestionID) AND InActive=0
AND IsDisabled =0
Then go to Host / Host Settings and restart the application. See if this will fix up your problem.

ok, so now when I try to import a sample form...the "import content" and "export content" options are not available. Is there a chance I had a faulty install? I do not remember seeing any errors. |

Very strange. Do other modules have Import / Export content available? Please go to Host / SQL and type in:
update desktopmodules set supportedfeatures = 5 where friendlyname like '%Dynamic Forms%'
See if this works for you. No idea why your install is missing these features. -- David |

Im not sure either. I saw it did not have asp.net 3, so I installed that and tried the script. That didnt work. I may try reinstalling the dynamic forms module and let it repair to see what happens.. |

Since this was a new install with not that much work done to the site, and I need the practice....I simply started over and the import works. I still had to run the sql script from the earliar issue though.
Thanks,
Clyde |

David, I am trying to accomplish something that the demo does on this page: http://www.datasprings.com/Products...fault.aspx I am not real clear on where the java is supposed to go to fix the problem. Which element does it go to, the html output, or the radio button area for example. I cant seem to get it to function. Thanks for your patience on a newbie. The product is excellant and I hope to utilize it completely! Thanks again Clyde |

HI, the document.getElementById('IDName').innerHTML needs to be included for the TEXT/HTML field entries. The 'IDName' is the name of the ID you give it in the Rich Text Editor if you were to click on the source. If you want, please export your particular form to www.betasprings.com(username: host, password: dnnhost) and send us the URL/TABID and we'll take a look at fixing it for you. -- David |

I have it on an internal site only right now and will make it live after everything is working. So that would make it difficult for you to access.
I actually created a page with the form that you have on the site to test and figure out the process.
This is what I have for the first radio button text html field. I think I may be close, but its not there yet....
Your total comes to: $0.00 |

You can export the XML content of the form to www.betasprings.com and I can take a look at it there. -- David |

Hi again David,
I am running into the "missing import and export" feature again. I have done a few pages and done a good bit of work on them and now am unable to import or export again.
I tried running the script you posted earliar but that did not work. Any suggestions? |

Do you have any object qualifiers in your DNN website? At host / sql type in this instead:
update {objectQualifier}desktopmodules set SupportedFeatures = 5
where friendlyname like '%dynamic forms%'

I am trying to creat a form that can be printed, signed and them mailed in. It should fill the pdf form with the data entered on the website and I would like to have some info included at the bottom as shown below starting with the text in red. I have it as a text/html field on the dnn form as well. Is that possible?
Be sure to include with your enrollment form:
- Check or money order payable to ESF Education Payment Plan
- Bank Draft Authorization if you choose that method of payment
Mail to: ESF Education Payment Plan, PO Box 4996, Jackson MS 39296
Questions?
Please call Monday - Friday between 8:00 am to 5:00 pm Central Time

You can create a PDF completion event and actually enter the above information under the footer section of the PDF completion event. Try this out and see if it works for you. -- David |

Hi David, it only allows one line. It doesnt allow the multiple lines we need.
I am also getting this error:
Message: 'dnn.controls.toolbars' is null or not an object
I saw on the forum where I am supposed to add a line to the dnn menu control, but am not sure where to find that |

HI, I don't believe using a Text/HTML field token to include in the PDF Footer will work. I tried it but it did not get written. -- David |

Yes, I had the same result. It doesnt look like the pdf file is very easy to customize at this time. I couldnt add that in the email itself either. |
