I have noticed quite a few posts about users not getting the contact form to work. The message is sent but the email never arrives. I did some tests and found that, if you publish your website to a sub folder, the PHP script can't be found because the form is looking for it in the root folder. Upload the ew_PHP folder to the root folder on the server and the form should work properly. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Hello Roddy. I do in fact have the ew_php filter in a subfolder. The problem is I have a form in each subfolder (multiple language site, as you know), so I wonder which ew_php folder I should move out of the subfolder. May all of them, keeping only one, and the HTML and CSS will take care of the formatting, address, subject, etc.? Stefano |

All the forms use the same PHP file so just put a copy of the ew_PHP folder into the root folder. You don't need to bother deleting the other ones since they will just upload again if you publish an entire site.

I gave up. I'm already using a JotForm Contact form in my present web site; I'll do the same with the new one in EverWeb. Stefano |

The method EW uses to create the file path to the PHP script gets defeated when publishing sub sites to a local folder. Moving the PHP folder to the root folder worked in my case. Using a contact form on the conventional version of a site is OK but not very efficient. However, I wouldn't recommend its use on the mobile version. I detest forms - both filling them out and creating them. I use the Tectite script and create my own form using HTML and CSS. This allows me to style the form to suit the page design and to return the visitor to a specific page of the site after submitting it. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

I'd like to make the following two changes to the stock contact form: 1) change font to match the rest of my site 2) change the color/appearance of the blank text boxes to a 'flat' appearance rather than the reflective appearance a) which file I need to edit (the php file? the css file?) b) which line(s) of code I should look for to make those changes? I have Dreamweaver, Komodo, Xcode thanks, cheers, and blessings! Garrett Norvell |

Highlight the form widget, open the fonts window and use it to change the font family and size. It's best to use a web safe font for items like a form. Paste this code into the Head Code box in the Page inspector… <style type="text/css"> .ew_cf input[type="text"],.ew_cf input[type="tel"],.ew_cf input[type="email"], .ew_cf select, .ew_cf textarea {background: #ffffff} </style> Change the background color - background:#ffffff - by inserting a different hex color number. ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!

Quote: 2) change the color/appearance of the blank text boxes to a 'flat' appearance rather than the reflective appearance This is changed in version 1.7 of EverWeb. Can you please ensure to make new topics when you have a new question. This ensures that customers who are following these topics don't get unnecessary emails that don't relate to their issues.
