Passing Data To Caspio Datapage/db Via Machforms Server

[cpcbsa]

Hi I need some help. I am trying to add data to a table via a form that is already created with MachForms. They allow passing data to external websites via http post. I read the article on making this work with external forms but I can not make this work for me.

 

The article referenced using <form method post action to the caspio URL> and adding hidden input type to the AppKey for the datapage. I have tried placing this everywhere and added it on the MAchForms parameters as well. I attached a screen shot of the notifications settings that I can control to pass parameters and to where it lets me enter the URL for my caspio datapage.

 

Any suggestions?

 

THANKS!!!

Hi, 

 

The parameter names which you pass from MachForm and recieve in Caspio form for fields, must be the same. You can find more information here

 

Also to add data to the table, the form must receive and submit data.

Try auto-submitting a datapage. You can find a solution here

 

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the reply!!

 

I tried this and it does not work. I have verified that the parameters being passed from the form match the fields in caspio. I just can not make machforms send the data to the caspio table...

 

I did add the html for auto-submitting within the datapage but not sure how that would work when the form is trying to submit data via a URL. I will try to add the code within the actual page where the form is sitting and see if that will help...

 

Thanks again! I hate being frustrated

When you open a Caspio page and receiving parameter via link you should be able to use auto submit code. So let's say user will click on this link: http://domain.com?param1=value1&param2=value2

 

Caspio can receive [@param1] and [@param2]

 

Then you can use this code to hide and autosubmit the page:

<script type="text/javascript">
  if(document.getElementById("caspioform")) {
  document.getElementById("caspioform").style.display = 'none';
  setTimeout('document.forms["caspioform"].submit()',1000); } 
</script>

This code needs to go to a HTML Block below all elements so it should be the last element
