Forum OpenACS Q&A: Form-to-mail install on 5.1.4

Posted by Nick Grossman on 06/29/05 04:23 PM

Hi, I'm having trouble with a basic installation of Form-to-mail on ACS 5.1.4 - I've installed the package and created a form, but when I use the include, I get the following error message:

Error in include template "/var/lib/aolserver/www2/packages/form-to-mail/www/form": can't read "formerror(ftm.body)": no such variable

Any ideas on what I should do? (I'm a relative beginner on the tech side).

Thanks,

Hi Nick,
One of the first things to do is to look in the bug tracker. If you scroll down you can select all the bugs for specific packages.

I had some issues setting up FTM a last month. I didn't have a variable, but I'm pretty sure it was the confirm message that was missing. Also, it needed a quote tag somewhere to get it to display the HTML instead of dump it on the page.

Basically, all these things are documented a bit in the bug tracker...

resolved ftm bugs:
https://openacs.org/bugtracker/openacs/?format=table&f%5fcomponent=170607&project%5fid=56106&f%5fstate=8

open ftm bugs:
https://openacs.org/bugtracker/openacs/?format=table&f%5fcomponent=170607&project%5fid=56106&f%5fstate=7

I finally got it to work, but I had to hack the confirm message feature a bit because I'm relatively a beginner on the tech side too. Good luck
Eric
