Anti-spam bot code

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 10 Nov 2014 11:34:25 GMT

Hi everyone,

I have the code below in my news detail layout. To try and combat spam-bots I'm using javascript to insert the action url on key press for the comments form. This type of code works perfectly well on all other forms on the site but for some reason it won't work on a comment form, ie. the action doesn't get inserted.

Just wonderd if anyone could give me any clues?

Thanks in advance.

<label>Enter Word Verification in box below {module_captchav2}</label>

$( "#catratingform2343" ).on( "keypress", function( event ) {

var action = $("#catratingform2343").attr("action");

if ( typeof(action) === "undefined" || action === null || action === "" ) {

var url = "/RatingProcess.aspx"

var params = "?OID={module_oid}&OTYPE={module_otype}";

$( "#catratingform2343" ).attr("action",url + params);

}

});

function checkWholeForm2343(theForm){var why = "";if (theForm.EmailAddress) if (theForm.EmailAddress.value.length > 0) why += checkEmail(theForm.EmailAddress.value);if (theForm.CaptchaV2) why += isEmpty(theForm.CaptchaV2.value, "Enter Word Verification in box below");if (why != ""){alert(why);return false;}return true;}

Change payment status for COD order only

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Mon, 20 Oct 2014 22:49:10 GMT

Hi,

I know that if I click on the edit button within any order, I can click a button to the right of the Status and a window pops up listing the status types. If I click on "Purchase - Awaiting Payment", I can make that the default status type however this would make it the default for all payments, not just COD payments which is what I'm after.

I wondered if anyone knows if there is a workaround so that "Purchase - Awaiting Payment" is the status type only for COD payments and "Purchase - Payment Received" is for all other payments?

Process for customising BC site templates

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 16 Oct 2014 09:19:34 GMT

Hi,

I've been looking through BC Gurus which is great, although quite in depth, I should explain I am very new to BC and Web design in general. Whilst looking around the net it suggests it would be quicker to take a BC template and customise for my clients needs.

However, I can not find any decent tutorials for a sensible process for taking a template and customising. I suspect I should be looking to edit the main site CSS file and default template, but is that correct?

In a nutshell, I took the Halftone template, applied to my site, synced with Dreamweaver, now what! I can't even find how to change the logo

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

anniversary date in email

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Sun, 05 Oct 2014 10:28:55 GMT

Hi,

We have two anniversary titles and two anniversary dates in our database. When sending out an email campaign I’d like to include both these dates in the email. When creating the email I noticed that I can put a tag called {tag_anniversarytitle} but this does not render anything when I test the email and as mentioned, I need the anniversary dates, not the titles in the email.

Can anyone tell me if this is possible?

Thanks in advance

How to remove .dwt templates from Creative Cloud Business Catalyst site?

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 19 Aug 2014 15:52:57 GMT

Hi,

I've created a site in Dreamweaver using one of my free creative cloud sites. There is a site structure automatically in place that is using the .dwt Dreamweaver templates with editable regions. I've found this is really impairing my workflow and I would like to convert the site to just using regular .html templates without editable regions.

When I try to upload a template file with a .html extension via SFTP I get a permissions error. I haven't found any other way around this either.

Can someone help me convert the site from using .dwt templates to using .html templates without editable regions?

Thanks,

Using a second blog for a testimonials page

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Wed, 06 Aug 2014 09:56:28 GMT

Hi,

I'm building a site for someone who will be purchasing the webMarketing hosting plan so I won't have access to any webApps. To get around this problem, I've created a second blog to be used to manage testimonials. I've created a page and have inserted the following module tag:

{module_blogpostlist,12775,3 template="/ModuleTemplates/Testimonials/testimonials-list-alt.tpl"}

The above references the testimonials blog with an ID of 12775 and it points to a custom list layout. When I test though by loading the html page, it shows the default list layout used for blogs under Module Templates and not my custom one.

I just wondered if anyone could tell me if it's actually possible to use an alternate list and detail layout for a second blog?

Thanks in advance.

Need information on the art of the possible with Business Catalyst

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Fri, 01 Aug 2014 17:06:00 GMT

My wife is setting up an online Business that will sell downloadable language resources (for learning foreign languages). These will include worksheets, soundfiles, and also animations (that are being done by a separate animator).

I am a 'rusty' Java developer and have said that I would do the IT for her.

We have purchased an Adobe Creative Cloud subscription as she is doing the worksheets in InDesign, and they will be sold as PDF's.

I have mocked up the beginnings of a website with Muse, but was intending to use that for getting the look and feel right, then replicating it in Java and HTML5.

However, today I started looking a Business Catalyst and seeing what it could do, but I am confused about it.

Would I be able to sell downloadable items using the eCommerce features?
Can I set up a mock shop on the free BC site?
How much does the eCommerce upgrade actually cost? Like I said, we are a Creative Cloud subscriber.
There will be some features that I will need to code, perhaps talking to another database, I understand that you can call out from the app to your own webservices etc?

Thanks for any help.

send invoice attribute on action url causes invoice to be inserted on web form confirmation page

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 22 Jul 2014 13:03:12 GMT

Hi,

According to the BC documentation I can ensure that an invoice is sent once a web form is submitted if I add &SendInvoice=true to the action url of the form element. I have done this for a booking events web form and the invoice was successfully sent after submitting the form. The problem though is that in addition to sending the invoice by email, it also displays the invoice on the booking confirmation page. I only wanted the invoice to be sent by email but not display on the confirmation page so I wondered if anyone could tell me if there is a workaround for this?

Thanks in advance.

Event booking auto-responder

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Tue, 22 Jul 2014 05:33:56 GMT

Hi everyone,

I've created an events web app so that it make it easier for the end user to create events in the backend. My form element looks like this:

The above enables the form to treat the web app as an event booking. My form has the auto-responder turned on and I have the following inside the auto responder:

Dear {tag_recipientfirstname},

Thank you for your registration. Please look our for your invoice which will arrive in a separate email.

We look forward to seeing you at this event.

{tag_webformresults}

When I test out the event though, the contents of the auto-responder doesn't match the above. Instead the email only shows:

Verify Your Booking

Click to verify your booking.

Dear Name.

Thank you for your booking

I tried turning off the autoresonponder in the form and then using the one in the web app but this didn't do anything, ie. I still receive the above email content.

I'm not even sure where it's coming from as I've checked all the system emails and I can't find anything.

Just wondered if someone could give me some advice to solve this?

Thanks so much.

How can I import a non-BC site into BC, using Dreamweaver CC, and then use it as one of my free sites?

I am trying to import one of my non-BC sites into BC, using Dreamweaver CC, and then use it as one of my free WebBasics sites.

If I import the site from my portal, I don't get the option of a free site - when I try to upgrade, I get the credit card form asking for payment.

Encrypt data on a web form sent to an email address

forums_noreply@adobe.com — Thu, 10 Jul 2014 05:02:24 GMT

Hi everyone,

I need to create a web form that collects data but instead of the data being entered into the crm, I need it to be sent to an email address. I'm worried though that the contents of the form could get intercepted before it's arrived at the intended recipient. Is there a way to encrypt form data in BC so that it's safe to send to an email address? Apparently you need to submit the form to a script on the server that will encrypt the data but I'm not sure if BC allows this.

Would really appreciate any help.
