Form Add on not working

Hi, I have just downloaded the form app, uploaded to the specific App folder, updated the config file and added some of the Form tags from the documentation and even copied the code from the sample form code but none of the input fields are displaying.

I have re-read the installation settings to check I have not missed anything but I can not see where I am going wrong.

Cheers

With each post to the forum we need to see your Diagnostics Report and the code you are using. It's impossible for us to help otherwise.

Hi Rachel

The Diagnostics Report does not show anything related to the form issue. Here is the code to the page. I have uploaded the Form folder to the Apps folder and updated the Apps config file to include the form app. The Form tab is visible in the backend of Perch but does not show anything in terms of picking the sample form info. I am sure I am just missing something obvious.

<?php include('../perch/runtime.php'); ?> <?php perch_layout('global.head'); ?>

<body> <?php perch_layout('global.header'); ?>

<div class="home-welcome-banner "> <div class="row"> <div class="large-12 columns"> <?php perch_content('Contact Us'); ?>

<perch:form id="contact" method="post" app="perch_forms">

<perch:content id="intro" type="textarea" label="Intro" textile="true" editor="markitup" size="m" />

<div>
    <perch:label for="name">Name</perch:label>
    <perch:input type="text" id="name" required="true" label="Name" />
    <perch:error for="name" type="required">Please add your name</perch:error>
</div>

<div>
    <perch:label for="email">Email</perch:label>
    <perch:input type="email" id="email" required="true" label="Email" placeholder="you@company.com" />
    <perch:error for="email" type="required">Please add your email address</perch:error>
    <perch:error for="email" type="format">Please check your email address</perch:error>
</div>

<div>
    <perch:label for="message">Message</perch:label>
    <perch:input type="textarea" id="message" required="true" label="Message" />
    <perch:error for="message" type="required">Please add a message</perch:error>
</div>

<div>
    <perch:input type="submit" id="submit" value="Send" />
</div>

<perch:success>
    <perch:content id="success" type="textarea" label="Thank you message" textile="true" editor="markitup" />
</perch:success>

</perch:form>

    </div>
</div>

</div>

<?php perch_layout('global.footer'); ?>

</body> </html>

The Diagnostic Report gives us information about the environment the site is running in. That is why we ask to see it. Once we have that we'll take a look.

Hi Rachel

I have just figured it out, the documentation did not say you had to create a template and then to select it in the backend. I just found the video of you explaining how it works and followed that. Love the videos!
