Login & Signup Questions

[cvrak]

Hi,

I've designed a site and i've added a contact form, a signup component, a login component and a logout component.
All the above seem to work ok, but I have some questions.

1. Regarding the contact form, how can I customize the welcome e-mail after the form is completed? I need to put some images in the e-mail and text as well.

2. Regarding the signup page, how I send a validation e-mail, with a validation link? Also How can I customize the content of this e-mail?

3. After login, How I put a notification in secure pages something like "Welcome **username** you are connected ....."

4. I've added the admin component, is is possible to notify the administrator by e-mail, after new signups?

Thanks in advance

IMO, you have the basics of what you need but you have no idea what they are
supposed to do. I say that because of the depth of the questions you asked;
it doesn't sound like you've even read the installation instructions or
setup instructions that you have available.
I would recommend reading what is available in your Help files or startup
files, keeping track of jargon as you go and picking that which apples to
you.
If you still need help, which is likely, visit Google and see what kind of
information you can get that way. Watch out for black-hat sites; make sure
your AV is up to date and firewall is ON.
After that, you should have made some progress on your questions and be
able to ask them a lot more intelligently. To give you a full answer to what
you've posted is, IMO, not practical since it'd take a lot of & work with
the tiny bit of information you've given. Perhaps someone has a tut or
better reference for you too. Be sure to mention the little details, like
your OS, version of OS and NOF, etc. etc..Help others to help you.

Do you have a URL to your site? Helps to see things sometimes too.

HTH,

Hi Twayne,

Installation instructions and help files say nothing about my questions. They only explain the settings of the components. If you think differently, send a doc or a pdf.
As for Google, before posting here I 've spent a lot of time trying to find answers but they're not specific to nof 11. And i dont know php, otherwise I'd write the code myself !!
The os of my pc is irrelevant with the questions, and the nof I've used is 11.
Since you've spent some time to write your "answer" in detail, you could give info instead of generic advises.

Regards

Most of what you want to do is outside of the scope of the components and would need to be hand coded and manually inserted

As to your question #1 there is a page that Fusion uses as the template for the form email. You can modify it but understand that every form you create on every site project you do with Fusion will use the modified form email page (like every form on every domain you create with Fusion.... all of them). That is why the form email page is so generic, so that it can be universally used.

If you need a customized form processing page you will need to write it yourself.

The components are very basic and are mostly a convenience for those who do not have specific needs or requirements

No, I can't give you specific details because you have not provided
sufficient information. What I did do was give you information to use and a
way to get better results with Google.
As I also said, I'm not willing to spend the time it would take to do all
the work plus alternatives etc. for you. You must help others to help you to
get much of anything but a lot of guesses.
FYI though I doubt you care, your OS is far from irrelevant. You cannot
refuse to give useful information (or not, who knows?) and expect to get
many friendly responses.

Perhaps it's just frustration on your part, but I'm sure I cannot help
you any further. Gotfusion is your best bet and the best reference on this
group so see what he has to say.

Twayne,

I didnt ask you to do my job!!
I've just asked for some reference, like "edit this php file and modify this..., and this..."
Probably you haven't visited other threads and forums with a lot of helpful and detailed info. Never mind.

Thanks for nothing !

Dear gotFusion,

Thanks for your response, I'll try to find some tutorial, I'm a graphic designer, not a programmer and its difficult for me.

Thanks again

You need to first find out what dynamic languages and databases your web host offers/supports before you can start looking for a solution.

If your host supports coldfusion you can process forms to email with a few lines of code and the response email can be formated any way you wish in less time that it took me to respond to this post

Regarding the signup component I've set the error messages to be in Greek.
The problem is that they appear as "???????". How I can change the charset to "Windows-1253" ? The problem is also at the emails after signup, and I have to switch manually the charset in order to read the Greek text
The URL is www.e-fsw.gr/html/signup.php
I suppose I have to do it inside NOF 11 and not in php files in server side , otherwise when i re-publish the corrections will be lost.

How I can change the charset to "Windows-1253" ?

Open your site project in Fusion

From the menu bar select Tools > Options > Current Site

You will find the characterset selection dropdown at the bottom of the General properties palette
