Quotethere is a bug in Use custom input field names&ids function – the function which sanitize the name does not replace many wrong characters, like ":", non-iso chars etc. I think you should use the function which is integrated in the wordpress for creating post slugs (plus it would be necessary to remove numbers from the begining of the slug, if there are any – Id's cannot start with numbers)

so why don't you use proper ID's then :-)
that's what the new feature is for!
ps: how is the localization coming along?

How do you set custom Ids and names for your fields? i keep getting "cf2_field_5" and I need to send data to another site, with other names and ids.
I can't find how to do it.
Thanks

look for (on main form config page):
Use custom input
field NAMES & ID's
and read the Note:
This feature replaces the default NAMEs/IDs (e.g. cf_field_12) with custom ones, either derived from the field label you have provided or by specifically declaring it via [id:XYZ],e.g. Your Name[id:the-name]. This will for instance help to feed data to third party systems (requiring certain input field names in the $_POST variable).

Thank you!!
Can't believe I havn't seen it.
One more question, I need some id to be "specialid:19092" cause i'm submiting my info to iContact, but the ":" gets cleaned up when the form is printed.
Can I avoid this?

cforms "sanitizes" input ID's to make sure users can't use unsupported special characters etc. the colon seems to be also affected by it.
The only workaround for now is to edit lib_aux.php and add:
return $string;
just underneath the function (in the next line!):
cf_sanitize_ids($string){..

When using the plug-in…I found that declaring the ID first helped. i.e [id:xyz]|Property Type|
For some reason it would not recognize after the ending pipe

I'm finding that if custom fields are enabled, I get 404 errors when moving to the next page on multi-page forms. Is this normal? Running v14.6., WP 3.5
Cheers
