DaveX -> Form question (7/11/2005 13:36:06)
I'm using a form in which someone can submit a file along with info. When I try to submit though it wants a user name and password. Can I get around this?

Reflect -> RE: Form question (7/11/2005 14:09:58)
Do you have a URL to view this at? Take care, Brian

DaveX -> RE: Form question (7/11/2005 18:12:11)
When I go to Form Properties to enter the email I want the submissions sent to I get a message having to do with it being created on a disk based blah blah blah... I should be able to create it on my local machine and upload it to my server which does have FP extensions running. I don't know if this has anything to do with the PW deal though...

Reflect -> RE: Form question (7/13/2005 14:56:31)
What is happening is an auth/response challenge from the web server. Change were you landing page points to. The directory it is trying to steer me to does require a login. This is what you have at present: <form method="POST" action="_vti_bin/shtml.dll/orderform.htm" onSubmit="" enctype="multipart/form-data" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--"> So the post action needs pointed to an alternate page and directory then all should be good to go. Take care, Brian

DaveX -> RE: Form question (7/13/2005 17:19:34)
I tried creating a page to dend to and it didn't work. Then I tried to make it only do an email which is all I really want it to do and I still got the same result. I know I'm missing something simple here...

DaveX -> RE: Form question (7/14/2005 14:15:05)
Arrgh! I don't get it. No matter what I do, I keep getting this line: "POST" action="_vti_bin/shtml.dll/orderform.htm" I only want the email sent to me not to a page but no matter what I do that line keeps getting inserted when I upload it. I've tried deleting the page altogether from the srver and it keeps getting added. I know from talking to the hosting company that I can't have the form written to the server because it's a shared server blah blah blah. Anyone know how i can get rid of that line?

DaveX -> RE: Form question (7/15/2005 11:53:06)
Now I've checked to make sure each field in the form is not password protected. Everything checks out here. My host can find no problems on their end. Can anyone give me an alternative way to accept the info and a file that I wish I could get using a form?

DaveX -> RE: Form question (7/15/2005 12:01:19)
I've figured one thing out. If I take away the submit file field, the form works. Any ideas on this?

roctheengy -> RE: Form question (7/15/2005 12:46:40)
I have the same issue on a website that I am now maintaining... The problem seems to be something with SharePoint. Are you using that, or is it on your host's webserver? It may be causing problems with the FPSE (this is what I am being told about our problem, but I have not resolved it yet...) Was wondering if our problems are related tho, since we seem the same symptoms....

DaveX -> RE: Form question (7/15/2005 19:47:49)
That hasn't been brought up. All I know at this point is that it's directly related to the file upload. I've tested a page that doesn't include a file upload and it works fine. The folder it's supposed to upload to has anonymous write permissions. Even when I try to get it to only do email (which is all I want) I get the PW prompt. This is getting frustrating.

DaveX -> RE: Form question (7/20/2005 13:19:03)
Here's the code in question: <form method="POST" action="_vti_bin/shtml.dll/orderform.htm" onSubmit="" enctype="multipart/form-data" webbot-action="--WEBBOT-SELF--"> <!--webbot bot="FileUpload" s-label-fields="TRUE" b-reverse-chronology="FALSE" s-destination s-category s-assignedto s-reviewstatus b-process-metainfo="FALSE" s-builtin-fields s-email-address="email%petpopportrait.com" s-email-format="TEXT/PRE" U-File="_private/form_results.csv" S-Format startspan --><input TYPE="hidden" NAME="VTI-GROUP" VALUE="0"><input TYPE="hidden" NAME="_charset_" VALUE="windows-1252"><!--webbot bot="FileUpload" endspan i-checksum="58985" --><p align="left"> Anyone have any idea where I'm running into the problem? I'm going crazy here!

AMysticWeb -> RE: Form question (7/20/2005 14:11:02)
Hi Dave, Just got a chance to look at your form. First off, the FrontPage File Upload component requires both the 2002 extensions and a Windows server. Maybe it was set up different before, but at this point, it looks like you haven't actually chosen a Folder to upload to. You might want to create a new folder and just call it Upload. Additionally, this folder will require separate permissions for anonymous upload. Also, you host would have to allow this. Here is a tutorial link to give you the steps for setting up this process. Although I have seen a couple of tutes regarding the FP Upload, I didn't see mention of the following. I believe in order to set the folder permissions for anon, you will have to open the site live.

DaveX -> RE: Form question (7/20/2005 14:28:05)
How do I create a new folder? The option is blanked out in FP. Can I just simply create one outside of FP?

Reflect -> RE: Form question (7/20/2005 14:29:17)
Dave, I edited your post to break the email address. Please bear in mind email harvester bots troll forums too. Just trying to save you from some SPAM. Take care, Brian

DaveX -> RE: Form question (7/20/2005 14:49:11)
I got it to work AMysticWeb! Thanks for the link! Reflect, I alraedy edited it. I slightly changed the domain. i should have included that info but thanks for looking out for me! Dave

DaveX -> RE: Form question (7/20/2005 19:07:57)
One more issue. I've tested it and the email that it sends to us has a link that shows us the file. It looks something like this: http://www.oursite.com/upload/Automat.jpg But when my friend tried it (from a Mac) the link looked like this: http://www.oursite.com/upload/ href="#Compose" onClick="PopupComposeWindow('pcompose.php?sendto=dadhotel%4072.jpg');; return false;">dadhotel72.jpg EXCEPT for when she uploaded from her desktop where it worked normally. Unfortunately, the long links don't work. We can easily figure out how to get it to show by just copying the filename at the end of the string and putting it in the URL similar to the first example above but it would be nice to not have to do it that way. Is this a Mac thing? A resource fork or something? Any ideas?

BobbyDouglas -> RE: Form question (7/20/2005 20:50:43)
I haven't gone through the entire thread, but it looks like your friend's e-mail does not support HTML e-mails, and thus does not show the link correctly, and makes the link: oursite.com/upload/ href="#Compose" onClick="PopupComposeWindow('pcompose.php?sendto=dadhotel%4072.jpg');; return false;">dadhotel72.jpg

DaveX -> RE: Form question (7/20/2005 22:04:36)
The whole thing is done via a form submission. Their email program isn't involved and it DOES work whenever she sends a file from her desktop.

AMysticWeb -> RE: Form question (7/20/2005 22:21:30)
Hi Dave, Not sure how that comes into play myself, as the file will be uploaded to the folder. In order to view the contents, you would open the site live, and then open the uploads folder. Although this is allowing anon file uploads, you should be the only one to view the contents of the folder.

BobbyDouglas -> RE: Form question (7/20/2005 22:21:36)
Ok, I read through the thread to get an idea about what is going on. What happens when you forward the e-mail over to your friend who is having the problem (does the same thing appear as what appears when she normally receives the e-mail)? Also, can you forward the e-mail to my username on here, @cox.net? Btw, does your form script allow people to upload .asp files?

DaveX -> RE: Form question (7/20/2005 22:46:44)
I'm not sure you're getting it. Maybe i didn't explain it right. Okay, someone fills out our form. The form includes a field that lets the user browse their own computer and upload a picture when the 'submit' button is pushed. The form generates an email that is sent to my friend's email box (It's her site). It also uploads the file (a picture) into a folder on her site. The email she receives includes all the info from the form PLUS a link to the upload folder that, when clicked, brings up a page displaying the photo that was uploaded. Now, I've tested it a few times myself and it works fine. I view the email from her email box. It works just fine. All the test submissions I've done from my computer have a line similar to this for the link: http://www.oursite.com/upload/Automat.jpg When I click the link it displays the picture. Now, when SHE tried the form from her Mac it worked fine when she uploaded a file from her desktop. Whenever she browsed anywhere else on her computer though it resulted in a link like this: http://www.oursite.com/upload/ href="#Compose" onClick="PopupComposeWindow('pcompose.php?sendto=dadhotel%4072.jpg');; return false;">dadhotel72.jpg which dosn't work. I hope that's a better explanation.

BobbyDouglas -> RE: Form question (7/21/2005 0:44:30)
It sounds like it is a problem with the Mac displaying FP's auto-generated code. Usually to find out the exact problem, I start fresh. In this case I would make a new form with the upload picture field, and see if I get the same issue. If you do, it is a problem with with the Mac's e-mail software that is trying to parse the e-mail. If your friend is using POP3, have the friend stop using that, try the form again, and check the e-mail through webmail to see if it works. Also, it would be interesting to know what happens when you forward the e-mail from your inbox to her address (meaning from one computer it works on for sure, to another that is doesn't work on). Dave, you always have intersting questions. You keep us on our feet here. [8D]

DaveX -> RE: Form question (7/21/2005 14:25:45)
Well, I don't think, as far as the submission of the form goes, that there is any connection to an email client is there? We are both viewing the resulting email that the form generates from the same webmail box. We both get the same results when viewing it. I'm sure it has something to do with the Mac.

BobbyDouglas -> RE: Form question (7/21/2005 16:01:25)
It must be the code that FrontPage generated in the e-mail, not being able to get parsed correctly. Are you saying you are both using the same exact webmail program? The only difference is the browser/OS?

DaveX -> RE: Form question (7/21/2005 17:55:35)
Yes, I log in to her webmail the same as she does. We both see the same thing. Either the short usable link or the long unusable one. I didn't pull that code out of anything, it's what is actually viewed in the email. That's why I think it has something to do with Mac.

DaveX -> RE: Form question (8/3/2005 16:08:47)
OK! I thought I had this working. I can submit a form and the person I built the site for can submit a form. Her husband tried testing it from work though and he gets a username/password window. Any ideas on why this would be selective?
