Templates can't find them so gives error

[Jimmac]

How Set up

Template url http://mywebsite.com/holding

is put into $TEMPLATEURL below:


$TEMPLATEURL = "http://mywebsite.com/holding"; // default; no template URL


On the mail to form it's set up like this:

<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="thankyou.html" />

Of course if I put the holding/thankyou.html it will work and goes to the page, but the info the person entered is not listed. I have it set up on page to show. (Useing downloadable sample to set up and get working first)

It will not work, error can't find.

Where is my error setting up thank-you page template?

If I put full link in browser it takes it to the page fine.
http://mywebsite.com/holding/thankyou.html

Problem is it doesn't seem to know about the template.

I've tried the slash befor and after in the script and on the mail to form and still no go.

Thanks

ur problem is deeper than it appears

Of course if I put the holding/thankyou.html it will work and goes to the page

no "of course" about it...

$TEMPLATEURL = "http://mywebsite.com/holding"; // default; no template URL


On the mail to form it's set up like this:

<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="thankyou.html" />

if the URL for the template really is http://mywebsite.com/holding/thankyou.html

then the above settings are absolutely right and formmail doesnt make mistakes about slashes

so the info ur providing is contradictry which means something weird is happening on ur server

Thanks crabtree for your help.

What do you and others suggest I do to get templates to work when
it's set how they should?

Thanks.

[crabtree]

templates work fine if things are setup right

ur setup looks right, so i guess theres something weird going on

sometimes servers dont like php scripts opening URLs so u could switch to useing a file path with $TEMPLATEDIR

u should use $TEMPLATEDIR unless u really need to use $TEMPLATEURL (u need to understand the difference, i guess - see http://www.tectite.com/fmdoc/templateurl.php)

if u cant use $TEMPLATEDIR i recommend u get Russ-the-guru to sort out wots going on - for that u need to subscribe

Thanks crabtree.

Set up $TEMPLATEDIR and still doesn't seem to know where to go
as it errors saying Not Found

The requested URL /thankyou.html was not found on this server.

<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="thankyou.html" />

Set up $TEMPLATEDIR
From FormMail alert i used DocumentRoot + template directory holding.

/hsphere/local/home/another/mydomain.com/holding

Hi crabtree and script helpers

without http:// right?

Yes.

pls read the doco for $TEMPLATEDIR....thats what doco is there for

That's what i've done over and over and over and over and over and over and over and over again.

Why I put it this way as I believe this is how it's to be done:

/* Help: http://www.tectite.com/fmdoc/templatedir.php */
$TEMPLATEDIR = "/hsphere/local/home/another/mydomain.com/holding"; // directory for template files; empty string
// if you don't have any templates


on the mail to form page it is set up as always like this:

<input type="hidden" name="good_url" value="thankyou.html" />

When form filled out and clicked to send gives ERORR can't find thankyou.html

For some reason it doesn't seem to know to go to templates to find out if Templates are in use.

Is there a script checker I can set up to tell me what my error is or why it's not working?

Thankyou

Jim

Thankyou
