Hoping someone can help with a CMS Made Simple form builder question. I have a site that's recently started sending out lots of spam emails through the form. I used form builder to build the form, tried ticking the "Check here to protect your form with a "Captcha" box in Captcha settings, but when I do that, the entire head section of my page disappears, the form html doesn't load and no html after where the form should be is rendered. It basically just destroys the page.
I'm using:
CMS Made Simple 1.6 "New Caledonia",
FormBuilder 0.5.11,
Captcha 0.4
Thanks
Your version of CMSMS was released in June 2009, there has been 4.5 years of development of the core software since then. I suspect your system is trying to install the Captcha module and failing because core files are so out of date.
Consider upgrading and then adding Captcha:

Hi, Currently am working on hybris 6.5. I want to remove Header which have orbeon form logo. I have published forms on storefront.
You can change the logo by setting the oxf.fr.default-logo.uri.*.* property. This in done in your properties-local.xml, and if you haven't gotten a chance to modify that file yet, you might find going through the doc on properties useful.
As a Joomla (novice) developer, I'm concerned about why we really need modules to create our own forms. I'm definitely not an authority on the subject when it comes to Joomla but here's my issue.
I understand (through hands-on discovery) that we can create forms using two ways (without additional custom modules).
By writing the form content straight in the index.php page, then checking for submit using PHP.
By inserting the HTML content for the form as a CustomHTML article using the admin back-end. Then have a separate PHP page to do the processing and return back to a specific landing page.
First I'm not sure if the above methods are considered sane in the joomla world but I do think they're workable.
If so, why do we need to run through rough seas trying to download and install form-builder plug-ins and write code that looks pretty absurd with so many files.
The first solution you mentioned is the worst that could be done. Editing the index.php should never be done. If an update for the template is bought out and you install it, it will override your changes.
The second point you mentioned is also a bad idea. There is no point in using separate PHP pages if you're using the Joomla CMS.
Stick to Joomla standards and create a custom module (not custom HTML module) either by coding it yourself or getting started with a Module Generator.
The whole point of using a CMS is to make life easier. A Joomla site is built of of Components, Modules and Plugins.
Components are like applications such as a Forum, e-commerce system etc. Modules are like widgets such as a twitter feed, shoutbox etc.
Plugins change the behavior of something.
why do we need to run through rough seas trying to download and
install form-builder plug-in?
Trying to download and install a form builder is not difficult at all. Simple go to the Joomla Extensions Directory, go the the necessary category, click on an extension that suits your needs, download and install it and voilà.
According to the official form extension documentation, there is a CAPTCHA FormObject:
This object will search for an installed captcha extension and use it
at the position where it is put in the form. This can be on top, but
also at the bottom of the form. Currently all (correct me if I'm wrong
here) captcha extensions are supported.
However, I wasn't able to use it in my form. There is not captcha item in the form wizard, even if I explicitly add it to the PageTS config. When I manually try to add a captcha to my form, nothing happens.
Did anybody succeed adding a captcha to a form built using the (not so) new form extension?
Instead of using a captcha, I recommend installing https://typo3.org/extensions/repository/view/wt_spamshield. This extensions supports the old and the new form extension of TYPO3 up to 6.2. This extensions adds different, invisible form protections which are more powerful than the unreadable captchas ;)
IMHO the new form extension (EXT:form) does not support any captcha extension.
I'm looking for a WP plugin which can allow me to create different forms and embed them on pages and following are the requirements:
Only a single textbox required in each of those forms
The submit button will only be shown if a custom entry/answer is inputted into the textbox. (basically a client-side validation)
The submitted answer should be stored in the back-end with the usermeta (or just the username of the user logged in) so that I can export the entries in a format like csv, etc.
Any thoughts?
P.S. I have found one but not sure if the PRO version of this allows me to have a validation for a custom text. This is the plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/visual-form-builder/
Gravity Forms is the most robust form builder plugin for WordPress. You can, with the right knowledge and skills, make it do pretty much anything you'd like. You can find it here: Gravity Forms.
Very well, I've found this. There are actually good plugins however, you will have to purchase it. I'm looking for a free one. http://www.webdesignboom.com/2013/formcraft-wordpress-form-builder/
I am using the Magento ver. 1.4.0.1 Community Edition. The problem I am running into is that Magento only allows me to preview pages that I have already saved. This works fine if I am creating a new page - but what if I am editing a current page? I want to be sure that the changes I make look good on the site before saving them.
Does anyone know of a way to preview a static cms page before saving the changes made? I'm open to using some sort of plugin if anyone knows of one.
Thanks
Currently there isn't one in Magento, you'll just have to save it and view it.
A lot of the work I've done in Magento has been done on a development server, once everything was set it got moved to the production server. I'm not saying you need two servers, but having at least a development instance of Magento will help when editing a live site.
for non-trivial changes, I normally create a new page with a URL that's not linked anywhere and then load that up to preview, before copying the content/settings to the real page.
