Problem with Perch Forms

Hi,

I'm trying to use Perch forms but when I look at the source of the webpage it appears to prepend Form_1 to form elements including to the form itself.

I tried having no action="" attribute but then I only get a 404 message, however with the action attribute set to be the same page as where the form is being submitted from; I don't get 404 and while I get a success message; nothing appears in Perch, which leads me to the conclusion that Forms should not be an app but rather a native application.

What does your form template look like?

Can you please show us your Diagnostic Report?

If it helps, I tend to "declare" everything prior to use:

<?php include('perch/runtime.php'); ?>
<?php perch_content_create('Title', array('template' => 'title.html','multiple' => false)); ?>
<?php perch_content_create('Heading', array('template' => '_heading/contact.html','multiple' => false)); ?>
<?php perch_content_create('Form', array('template' => 'form.html','multiple' => false)); ?>
<?php include('includes/head/header.php'); ?>

dataselect:

<h1 class="heading-border"><perch:content id="course" label="Course" type="dataselect" region="Title" options="title" page="/contact/1index.php" /></h1>

and

<?php set_include_path($_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT']); ?>
<?php include('includes/head/contact.php'); ?>
<body>
<div class="page">
<?php include('includes/head/top.php'); ?>
<div id="bottom_section">
<?php perch_content('Heading'); ?>
<?php perch_content('Form'); ?>
</div>
</div>
<?php include('includes/footer/footer.php'); ?>
</body>
</html>

I enabled debug in config.php and got the following:

You need to add the Forms app to your apps.php file.

Hi Drew,

Like this?

<?php
    include(PERCH_PATH.'/core/apps/content/runtime.php');
    include(PERCH_PATH.'/addons/apps/perch_forms/runtime.php');
?>
