Need webform module setup help...........

By gopat on 3 Feb 2006 at 03:53 UTC

Hi,
I installed webform-4.6.0 and set up an email contact form. When I submit a form it does not issue any error messages but it does not send an email either.... The first few lines of the log message shows the following:

Submission posted to 'Contact Us'.
Submitted on 2006-02-03 04:10
Submitted by anonymous user: [4.981.333.....]
Submitted values are:
Put your Email Address below : myemailAdress@gmail.com
Put your email subject below : testing 123...
Type your email message below : this is my email message...

Notice that the message indicates "Submission" and not mail sent... I was able to send an email via the "mailto" HTML syntax. The log file did indicate that the email was sent: "gopat sent gopat an e-mail." Any ideas how to make webform send emails?
Thanks!

Webform and form_mail

Muslim guy commented 3 February 2006 at 08:54

Better to use form_mail to be used as contact form, or feedback module to send feedback to admin.

I use webforms a lot and it is very useful.

Dont give up on webform! :)

Can the webform module send emails???

gopat commented 3 February 2006 at 20:33

Thanks for your reply. Are you implying that the webform module is not meant to send emails? Does form_mail work good? Can I use form_mail to create survey type forms and have them emailed to a pre-set address?
Thanks,
gopat

webform module

GSMKer_Kevin commented 3 February 2006 at 21:01

I am making use of this module. It does send emails. I set mine up and tested it. It worked no problem.

The only barriers that exist are the ones we create!

Webform documentation...

gopat commented 4 February 2006 at 04:21

Thanks kevin,
I am not sure where went wrong with the webform module. What log messages do you get when you send a successfull email? Are there any configuration tips that I might have missed aside from the Install.txt instructions?

webform.mysql

Muslim guy commented 4 February 2006 at 09:25

Have you installed the webform.mysql?

Since this module needs database access, you have to go to PHPMyAdmin and `Query - upload the webform.mysql from your PC

webform.mysql?

gopat commented 13 February 2006 at 03:54

Yes I installed it from the command line... I wonder if my problem is related to my web hosts server side PHP/Mail settings?

No webform.mysql

barneylodge commented 13 July 2006 at 12:18

When I dowload the 4.7 version of webform, it no longer includes webform.mysql. Could I be doing something wrong?

Auto mysql :)

Muslim guy commented 13 July 2006 at 13:40

Congrats for Drupal 4.7.2 great job!

The modules INSTALL AUTOMATICALLY the sql so you are saved time and stress.

When you enable the modules, save and you will see the message `the module ---- is installed succesfully'

Except Chatbox and Shoutbox, almost all of the modules install auto the database. Including webform, flexinode, event, video, audio (still have to upload getID3).

Still have mysql table problems...

orbitalbleu commented 9 September 2006 at 15:10

Ok, when I install the 4.7 module (on Drupal 4.7.3 of course), everything "appears" just fine. Althought I notice that no SQL Tables are created with MyPHPAdmin. I as well did not see a webform.mysql file to import to create these fields. If what you are saying is correct that they are not needed any longer due to "auto installs"....why cannot I not get webforms to work and receive the following errors:

* user warning: Table 'nathanl_i974dru.webform' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM webform WHERE nid = 11 in /home/nathanl/domains/*.com/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.
* user warning: Table 'nathanl_i974dru.webform_component' doesn't exist query: SELECT * FROM webform_component WHERE nid = 11 ORDER BY weight, name in /home/nathanl/domains/*.com/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

* user warning: Table 'nathanl_i974dru.webform_submissions' doesn't exist query: SELECT s.sid, s.submitted, s.remote_addr, sd.cid, sd.no, sd.data FROM webform_submissions as s LEFT JOIN webform_submitted_data as sd on (sd.sid = s.sid) WHERE sd.nid = 11 in /home/nathanl/domains/*.com/public_html/includes/database.mysql.inc on line 120.

Any input would be appreciative. I've tried to disable/re-enable the module as well in hopes that the tables get created...but no cigar.

Nathan, dont post your

Muslim guy commented 10 September 2006 at 13:33

Nathan, dont post your database name and your domain username here, its dangerous!

You can still edit your post here, just delete all, or omit the database and username - no need to display it here for the whole world to see 8)

Can you upload db-cvs.tar.gz

This module is used so that you dont have to go to PHPmyADMIN anymore, just do it from the Drupal admin

Then I'll show you how to `Query' a table from webform.install )if it still doesnt install itself)

Post

orbitalbleu commented 10 September 2006 at 14:53

I actually did that intentially for a Honeypot Test. Need some real world info for a SANS Practical. :) In other news....it doesn't seem to want to allow me to edit the post anyway. It looks like I can only edit my posting if it is the last forum entry. Even if I go to http://drupal.org/comment/edit/152625 it tells me Access Denied. I also can't seem to find that module you mention.

Wait a minute! Am I

Muslim guy commented 11 September 2006 at 06:23

Wait a minute! Am I helping gopat or orbit? This is for WEBFORM 4.6 right? Ahhh....the 4.6 doesnt install itself

You have to use PHPmyAdmin or Drupal `db.module'

If you go to Modules page for 4.6, search for `db'

db mod

orbitalbleu commented 11 September 2006 at 19:34

Actually gopat was the one with the original problem...I'm just kind of piggy backing off of his forum listing. I see under the 4.6x modules the dba-4.6.0.tar.gz & db_maintenance-4.6.0.tar.gz modules. Is one of these the one you are referencing? I'm running Drupal 4.7.3...is there going to be any problems running an older module?

DB-cvs.tar.gz if for 4.73

Muslim guy commented 12 September 2006 at 08:24

DB-cvs.tar.gz if for 4.73 *Go to project/modules and menu for CVS

DB-4.6.0.tar.gz if for 4.6.9 - wont work for 4.7.x

Can't create an attachment field using webform.

Dirty Name commented 13 January 2007 at 16:01

The webform module is exactly what I need. I'm using Drupal 4.7.2 and have installed webform.module. I also have attachments enabled, user uploads enabled, images enabled, etc. So when I try to create a custom webform, I am able to create all of the fields I want EXCEPT when I go to create an attachment field.

Everything works great - even in the "create attachment" screen - until it's time to SUBMIT the new field. Then, all I get is the "busy" icon on Firefox while it tries to create the field - the lower left reads: "waiting for website.com...", then "Done". At that point, I get a blank screen and that's it. So when I hit the back button, I get the POST DATA warning about my session expiring, click OK, and...nothing. Just the same old submit screen. When I check the actual saved version of the form, it has everything I created and submitted except the attachment field.

Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

File upload webform is not working here

betawavetom commented 9 February 2007 at 21:02

I am having the exact same problem.

Everything works - except the file-upload part.
(and of course that happens to be the most important of it all)

I like everything webforms does - so is there an alternative?

Tom.

Might be PHP Memory limit

Muslim guy commented 11 February 2007 at 03:19

Are you sure you use the latest Webform module

It might have been caused by your site's PHP Memory Limit allowance.....you can increase it (for Drupal system) by adding some lines to your settings.php in `sites/default' folder, or php.ini, or .htaccess

40MB is what I put in settings.php, and I have tested the webfrom to attach some powerpoint files, and it works fine

Upload vs. Webform module

jazzitup commented 8 June 2007 at 09:58

I'm struggling with the same issue for days... I've increased the memory limit within my settings.php to 40M, but still can't get any document attached to the webform node... But I'm trying to attach a document to the webform form template, not as an attachment of the filled in form.

is it possible to direct the form to use cgi/formmail.pl for processing ? I think you can via the adv php section but not sure how to write it
