Hi

I am using cformsII to run a form for Domain registration on my website.

The form collects domain, business and contact information.

When the submit button is pressed the form takes the visitor to page 2

This page contains a Paypal Box (for them to re-enter their domain name) and a pay now button.

The box for the domain name is to give me some reference to the order placed on page 1

The process looks like a 2 page process when in fact, once the submit button (Step two Button) has been pressed it has already sent the form to me via email.

My question is this:

Is there anyway to populate the domain name box on page two from the domain box on page 1???

This would mean that the payment will have a reference to the domain name on the form. 

Example:

(PAGE1)

Domain: testdomain.tld

Contact: joe blogs

Address: the street

– Next Step

"your almost done."

Domain: testdomain.tld

PAY NOW

If I can achieve this then I would have a direct link between the email from the site and the paypal payment conformation email.

If there is a better way to do this then just let me know and I will try that.

That sounds like the perfect solution only I don't know how to do that.

Is it easy to setup!!!!

When you are redirected to PayPal it needs to show the domain name selected.

I will see if I can find where to do this.

Thanks for your reply.

here is roughly the 2-form-setup:

form #1

• enable the multi-part form feature
• point it to form #2
• do not enable the multi-part-form setting:  'suppress email ..'
• enable custom ID's / Names under core options
• add a [id:paypal-field-id] to your "shared field"

form #2

• enable the multi-part form feature
• select 'last form' of multi-part form series
• you can enable the multi-part-form setting:  'suppress email ..'
• enable custom ID's / Names under core options
• add a [id:paypal-field-id] to your "shared field"
• enable "Send form data" under Core Form Admin and opint it to the paypal form / URL

"paypal-field-id" must be the id that can be passed on to paypal.

A few notes:

1. only items/fields on form #2 will be POSTed to the destination
2. if you want anything on form #1 to be transmitted to paypal as well you need to add a hidden field to form #2 with the same ID/Name
3. all cforms does is to POST it's fields to Paypal
4. form #1 can be used to email & track user input
5. form #2 is responsible for forwarding all 'validated' fields to paypal
6. use Firefox/Firebug to see what is in fact handed off to paypal
7. If you have issues on the paypal side, check with their support

What is your URL?

I assume that [id:os0] is your hidden field? You might still want to give it an actual label,e.g domain name[id:os0]

Can you verify that being on Form #2 shows (in the HTML source code view) the domain name correctly?

Is "os0" what is being expected by paypal?

A URL would help…

It looks ok, but could be either a v10.2 issue, so you might want to upgrade to 10.3 + Patches, or double check your form config.

I tried the same setup and it works fine here.

What is interesting is that form #1 does indeed send the proper value to form #2, but it isn't 'picked' up.

Did you set the alternative action also for #1? this would be a problem.

Also, moving from form #1 to form #2 doesn't show an intermins (form#1's) success message…

No problem, you're welcome.

Also, you can of course adjust form #1's success message to show the leading text part of the second form ('introducing' form #2 and e.g. inculding a "wrap-up" showing what has been entered in the first form).

Hey everybody,

I wrote a little javascript to be able to get the value of whatever you're using for your amount field (select, radio, etc..) and set the value of your hidden amount field for sending to PayPal.

First, you're going to need the jQuery field plugin: http://www.pengoworks.com/work…..plugin.htm

You'll also need to have one field in your form for the amount to be selected and another hidden field with the amount that will be sent to PayPal. In my cforms I have my donation radio field setup like so:

Donation Amount:[id:donation_amount]#$35.00|35.00#$50.00|50.00

And my hidden amount field is just setup like this:

[id:amount]

Here is script:

<script type="text/javascript">
        var j = jQuery.noConflict();
        j(document).ready(function(){
        window.donationAmount = j('input[name="donation_amount"]');
        window.hiddenAmount = j('input_hidden[name="amount"]');
        window.donationAmount.change(
                function( objEvent ){
                    var donation = donationAmount.getValue();
                    j("input#amount").val(donation);
                    var hidden = hiddenAmount.getValue();
                    alert(donation);
                    alert(hidden);
                });
        });

</script>

Note: if you use your own field names you'll need to update the script appropriately.

I hope this help!
