Please replace the ??? with your data!

[desc]:hello.

maybe I'm really to stupid but since 2 hours now I try to get this form displayed on my website… Could somebody maybe please give me an idea how to get a link together which I can put at my website?

What I need to do: get a link so ANY visitor of my page can click, then sees this form and can fillout and submit the form I created.

I guess all is ok, form is set, plugin activated, anything looks fine but I am not able to find or even create any link

or something which I can use to get this form displayed on my site.

Tried all options as well, not even the button will be displayed, whatever I try.

 

Please, ANY idea where I can find the link to this php page so I can pit this link on

my homepage?

yes, 123 times i read all that, but, sorry, as I saif, maybe I am staying on the pipe…

*******2.Inserting a form

f you like to do it the old-fashioned way using tags, make sure to use <!–cforms–> for the first form and/or <!–cformsX–> for your other forms to include them in your Pages/Posts.*******

 

..so, what exactely means that?

What do I need to insert in e.g. sidebar, if I only want a link (maybe named as: click here to use form)?

no idea, sorry……

I customized the form, everything is done but I do not find any code or any possibility to get this shown on my page, sorry

******However, using the TinyMCE Button is much more elegant and safer (double check if Button Support is enabled!).******

tried that: nothin happens, nowhere any button which I could see…

 

sorry, I really need some clear simple answers. Thanks.

Adding cforms in posts:

  1. switch to 'code' view and enter <!–cforms–> wherever you want your default form to show up
  2. save the post
  3. done

Adding cforms to your sidebar:

  1. Either use WP's widget feature to drag/drop the cforms widget
  2. ..or edit your sidebar.php file and include
    <?php insert_cform(); ?>
    wherever you want the form to show up

many thanks :) 1 big step forward!

Any possibility to just put a link at the sidebar and by clicking

user will be directed to a complete new page which includes only this form to fill out?

That would be for me the ideal solution.

many thx again for your help and patience!

Yes.

  1. Wriite a new WP page
  2. switch to 'code' view and enter <!–cforms–> wherever you want your default form to show up
  3. copy the permalink of this new page
  4. edit your sidebar.php and include a link (<a> tag) referencing the permalink from step #3

Hello,

 

I am trying for couple of hours now to install a tell-a-friend page, but I cannot manage it.IN the suggested implementation options, as described in the `help`, I want to install it on a page.

I follow the guidelines:

Simply add a <?php insert_cform(#); ?> (# = your form id) to your existing single.php and/or page.php template, e.g:

[...]
<?php the_content('<p>Read the rest of this entry »</p>'); ?>
<?php if ( is_tellafriend( $post->ID ) ) insert_cform(#); ?>
[...]

-> I go to edit page.php, but, in the code, I only see this:

<div class="entry">
            <?php the_content();?>
 </div>

…

 

So, then I installed it like this:

<div class="entry">
            <?php the_content();?>

            <?php if ( is_tellafriend( $post->ID ) ) insert_cform(stuur door naar een vriend !); ?>

 

But that does not work… when I post a new page, and when I click `add t-a-f-form`I got the error that

there is something wrong in my code:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/steven/public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/options/page.php on line 8

 

 

What can I do to overcome this?

Your help would be kindly appreciated ;-)

 

Kindly Stteven

the parameter for the cforms function call is a number (the one on the small form button at the top of your form config page), e.g.:

insert_cform(3);

or
insert_cform();

if it is your default form.

insert_cform();
}
?>

Sure I putthis code in a php file (outside of all word press stuff) in the site near root where it should be…

<?php
   insert_cform('1');
?>

and you get an error in the page…

Fatal error: Call to undefined function insert_cform() inwhatever.php

how do you reference the headers? or what?
