    Default Using a formmail.pl with Fusion 8

    I am using a formmail.pl and it works like a charm. However, I want to make some field, required field and i just don't know how to do it. Can anyone help me? Is it through the Form Settings or through the Forms Edit Field Properties?

    Ok - I know this has nothing to do with the subject but I can't seem to get any help other wise. So... here it goes....
    I have successfully created a form on one of my sites using formmail.pl. It works beautifully until now the client has asked me to make some fields a required field -you know... such us requiring that they at least provide their email address in order to submit the form. Any how... I just don't know how to do it - does any one know? I am using Fusion 8 (I know... stop laughing, I haven't upgraded yet). Please help!

    I don't use formmail myself, but you can do it by changing the
    configuration of the script. Take a look at the 'Field: required' and
    ''Field: missing_fields_redirect' here:
    http://www.scriptarchive.com/readme/....html#required
    http://www.scriptarchive.com/readme/...ields_redirect

    It would be a good idea to add text to the form in NOF to say that the
    field is mandatory.

    I suggest starting a new thread if you need further help...

    You just need to add a hidden field as described in the formmail manual.

    To add a hidden field in Fusion you click on the settings button on the form element you set to hold the form (table, layout region, text box, or page layout), press the + button and add the name and value.

    Ok.. Thank you Max!!! It works! here's my problem now... I got it to direct my result to a page I redirect page I made letting the customer know that they need to fill in the appropriate information with a back button to take them back to the form!! looks great - works good. However, how do I tell it to not redirect the customer if they have gone back and filled in the information and to actually send me the form? see what I wrote below:

    <input type=hidden name="required" value="name,email"><input type=hidden name="missing_fields_redirect" value="http://www.mydomain.htm">

    Yeah, I did that to include the subject, redirect and recipient names and values. But.. when I go to add the name required and value email for example - if the email is not filled in it takes me to an empty form with a title at the top that says that the email field must be filled. It's great, but it doesn't provide a back button or any way to go back to the form to fill in the information. Also it also includes the whole form fields below that title.

    Change mydomain.htm to the actual URL of the form page for that value
