Stand Alone Forms

ppSD2 Product Manual » Database » Stand Alone Forms

A stand alone form gives you more control over the layout and design of the form, however it requires that you create the form's HTML completely from scratch. This is only recommended for advanced users with knowledge of HTML.

Creation Specifications

When creating the form from "Settings > Add a Form", rather than creating field sets, you will instead have the option to input the location of the form's pages as well as a series of text boxes allowing you to input the required fields for each page.

Field Names

The fields that appear on your form must match the fields that appear at "Settings > List Fields". If a field name is different from those currently in the database, the program will automatically create the field.

Required Code

<form action="http://www.yoursite.com/ppSD2/register.php" method="post">
<input type="hidden" name="action" value="process" />
<input type="hidden" name="id" value="form_id_here" />

<input type="text" name="eXaCt_FiElD_1_nAmE_HeRe" value="" />
<input type="text" name="eXaCt_FiElD_2_nAmE_HeRe" value="" />
etc.

<input type="submit" value="Register" />
</form>

Note: If you are creating a "Generic Form", you need to set the form action to "http://www.yoursite.com/ppSD2/process_form.php".

Accessing the Form

We strongly recommend that you use the standard registration form links, even with stand alone forms:

http://www.yoursite.com/ppSD2/register.php?action=reset&id=form_id_here

The program will automatically redirect you to the location of page 1 for the form.
