Post & Get Method with DW forms

Posted on 25/03/2010 10:05:39

Hi,

I need to submit form data via POST method to an external URL. The supporter at DW says that I may be able to use data lists, but he is not sure.

So maybe someone in here can help me?

From this page (http://carambaimaging.net.dynamicweb.dk/Free-Image-Enhancement.aspx) I need to post the data:

*company
*contact
phone
*email
*address1
*city
*country
notes

to this URL: http://imageservice.carambaimaging.com/kontering/faces/andet/eksakteOpret.jspx

Like this:
http://imageservice.carambaimaging.com/kontering/faces/andet/eksakteOpret.jspx?company=MyCompany&email=jano@ihk.dk&contact=Jacob&phone=26206512&address1=Skt+Ann%e6+Plads&city=K%f8benhavn&country=Danmark¬es=Andre+noter

So can anyone tell me, if this is possible in DynamicWeb and how I can solve this issue?

You may also refer to the customer's running web solution on http://www.carambaimaging.com/signup.aspx - I convinced the customer, that DW was much better for SEO, but now I'm afraid DW lacks some other important features.

Thank you in advance
Steen

Hi Steen

In your forms template simply replace the  tag with your own form tag:

Dynamicweb outputs this:
<form method="post" id="FormSave2" name="FormSave2" enctype="multipart/form-data" action="http://carambaimaging.net.dynamicweb.dk/Default.aspx?ID=19">

Simply insert :

<form method="post" id="FormSave2" name="FormSave2" action="http://imageservice.carambaimaging.com/kontering/faces/andet/eksakteOpret.jspx">

You say you need a post, but the URL you write uses GET - so you might need to change the method from POST to GET?

What important features are you affraid Dynamicweb is missing?

That's great, thanks.

I have another question then, hope you can help with that too. I need to post (or get) data like this "company=CompanyName", but when I use Access when generating the form, it uses the table name as a prefix on the system names, so in my case it becomes "FreeTrial_company=CompanyName".

Is there any way I can change this - could I use another connection in order to control the system name - or is this fixed?

No, I guess DW doesn't lack anything only web-designers who know how to code :)

Cheers,
Steen

Hi Steen

When creating a form, the module automatically suggests a systemname called Tablename_fieldname. You can just change that systemname to whatever you want, and then that will be used in your frontend...
