I am new to Sinatra. I want the user in my home page to submit a word to my translate page and see the word displayed in the translate page. This is not happening and I do not know why. I would greatly appreciate any help.
This is the code for my home page:
<form action="/translate" method="post">
<input type="text" name="message">
<input type="submit">
</form>
This is the code for my main page:
require 'sinatra'
require 'sinatra/reloader' if development?
get "/home" do
erb :home
end
post "/translate" do
params[:message]
erb :translate
end
You need to pass your message to your view.
post "/translate" do
erb :translate, locals: { msg: params[:message] }
end
And now you can use msg in your view, like this:
<h1><%= msg %></h2>

I am playing around a bit with Perl and auto-filling out forms. However, when I view the source code and paste the "action" URL of a form into my browser, it goes to a "Page Not Found". How could this be? If data is able to be submitted to a page then wouldn't the page have to exist? Or am i just missing something?
For instance, the HTML looks like:
<form action="/Pages/somepage">
<input type="text" name="email" />
<input type="submit" />
</form>
So if i go to http://thewebserver.com/formPage/Pages/somepage it simply displays a "Page Not Found" error.
Thanks.
If the form action is "/Pages/somepage", then the correct full URL will be http://thewebserver.com/Pages/somepage, not http://thewebserver.com/formPage/Pages/somepage. Not sure where you got that "formPage" from.
I'm working on my second website and throughout creating this one and my first the people here on StackOverflow have been an amazing help.
I can just browse and find almost anything I wan't to know.
99% of problems I've had, I fixed with answers I've read on here.
So first of thank you all so much!
This is the first time I'm posting something because I'm not able to find the specific answer for my code.
There are people one here with the same problems but when I look at their code I'm just lost.
I know html a fair bit by now. It's the php that I'm clueless about.
I'm not looking for something fancy, I'm just trying to create a simple contact form.
So here is my question and code, I hope some of you are able to help me.
I used an PHP code from a youtube tutorial and it's deadeasy (as said before: first time PHP) yet I can't get it to work. Although I'm doing everything the same as the man in the clip. He shows his is working so I'm extremely curious as to way mine is not?
My form does not 'send' and after clicking the submit button I don't get the 'thank you' line.
here is the html:
<form method="post" action="contactform" name="contactform" id="contactform">
<ol>
<li>
<label for="voornaam">Voornaam</label>
<input type="text" name="voornaam" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="achternaam">Achternaam</label>
<input type="text" name="achternaam" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="telefoon">Telefoon Nummer</label>
<input type="text" name="telefoon" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="email">E-mail Adres</label>
<input type="text" name="email" />
</li>
<li>
<label for="bericht">Type hier je bericht</label>
<textarea name="bericht"></textarea>
</li>
<li>
<input name="submit" type="submit" value="submit" />
<input name="reset" type="reset" value="reset" />
</li>
</ol>
</form>
and the PHP:
<?php
$voornaam = $_POST ['voornaam'];
$achternaam = $_POST ['achternaam'];
$telefoon = $_POST ['telefoon'];
$email = $_POST ['email'];
$bericht = $_POST ['bericht'];
$to = "felicevancuyk#gmail.com";
$subject = "dkl groep bericht";
mail ($to, $subject, $bericht, "From " . $voornaam . $achternaam . $telefoon};
echo "Bedankt. We nemen zo snel mogelijk contact met u op.";
?>
It could be that your action is not set correctly:
<form method="post" action="contactform" name="contactform" id="contactform">
This action tag is the URL that the form is sent to. In the above example you gave, it doesn't appear to be a file name. You want it to be something like this:
<form method="post" action="http://mysite.com/process-form.php" name="contactform" id="contactform">
Also note that in your example PHP code you are emailing responses to the form without cleaning those responses. Someone could send malicious code to your server if you don't clean the data first.
Something like:
$cleaned_voornaam = preg_replace("/[^ 0-9a-zA-Z]/", "_", $_POST['voornaam']);
Good luck!
You have to just change your action attribute of first line of code to the page where you want to process your form. It may be the same page but it is recommend to be on another page. Here is an example to submit the form in the same page:
<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" name="contactform" id="contactform">
Don't forget if you are submitting on the same page as like the above example then your page should be in .php extension otherwise it will not work.
Another case for submit not submitting is that html is malformed.
Just happened that my code was inserting a php error in the middle of my html form.
fixed the error, the submit is working again.
In my case, no js involved at all
What would be the best way to redirect a form after validation & submit? The form isn't a plugin, it's part of a theme.
a) This is the form action code:
<form action="" id="pro_form" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
b) Here's the validation string:
<input type="submit" onclick="return validation()" value="Submit" >
Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
Peter
I am not sure if this is want you are asking for, but in my opinion the best way is using javascript, like this:
echo '<script type="text/javascript">window.location ="NewLocation";</script>';
Place this code after the form returns from validation.
I'm using Magento CE 1.7.
I created a CMS page to add 'Terms Of Use' to it and at the bottom of the page I added a simple "Accept Terms" submit form to have the customers agree to the terms before they can access the page I want them to access. Here's the code.
<form action="url-to-go-to.html" method="GET" onsubmit="return checkCheckBox(this)">
I accept: <input type="checkbox" value="0" name="agree">
<input type="submit" value="Continue">
<input type="button" value="Exit" onclick="document.location.href='BACKTOWHAT.html';">
</form>
<script type="text/javascript">
<!--
function checkCheckBox(f){
if (f.agree.checked == false )
{
alert("Please tick the box to continue");
return false;
} else
return true;
}
-->
</script>
The only problem I have is that in I can only get it to work by entering the URL to the page I want them to be redirected to. i.e.
<form action="domainname.com/shop.html"> <!-- store section to go to -->
/* and the same goes for */
onclick="document.location.href='domainname.com';"> <!-- back to storefront -->
I wanted to use something else rather than the URL but I'm not sure how to do it. I thought using something like this would work.
<form action="<?php echo $this->_redirect('shop.html'); ?>" method=.... >
but it didn't.
I believe if this has been within a .phtml file it would've worked but I'm working with a simple CMS page and I know magento functions work in CMS pages but I don't know a function that would work for this purpose.
Ok, I figured it out after testing a bit more. (I'm still learning how to code)
It's quite simple, the form action should be like this instead.
<form action="{{store direct_url='shop.html'}}" method=..... >
and to redirect back to the store front on "exit" this is what worked.
onclick="document.location.href='{{store direct_url=' '}}
This worked perfectly. hope it helps others.
I want to use the Tinymce Editor in my web application. I have a text area on it and I want to submit the data of that text area to the next page. That page should display the data it received. Can you give any suggestions how I can do this.
The best way to think of TinyMCE is as a special textarea. Just like you can submit data from a textarea and retrieve the content via request variables, you can do the same for a TinyMCE editor instance.
In your front-end code, you would have something like this:
...
<script type="text/javascript">
tinyMCE.init({
mode : "textareas"
});
</script>
</head>
<body>
<form method="post" action="show.php">
<p>
<textarea name="content" cols="50" rows="15">Content in TinyMCE</textarea>
<input type="submit" value="Save" />
</p>
</form>
...
Then, in your show.php page, you would retrieve the content like you would retrieve a textarea value:
<?php
...
echo $_POST['content'];
...
It's about as simple as that to retrieve the data and display it in your page. Of course, you would need to take security precautions in displaying data that is entered by an end user. Also, this is assuming you are using PHP as the back-end technology; but, the principles carry over to any technology.
And, consult the TinyMCE documentation for detailed instructions and information on advanced use cases.
You should start with this instructions.
Displaying html content is very simple. You need to place the written text one of yor pages receives on that page - that is all.
