Hi,
I’m trying to create a page, that show eForm only for registered web-users after they login.

I wrote a snippet, that checks that correct user in logged in and shows a form.
I tryed to run eForm 2 ways - using runSnippet call and just by inserting [[eForm....
Both way show me a form, but when I fill and submit it, I see an empty form again.

Can you help me with an idea, how to do it?

Is your snippet that checks if a user is logged in or not working properly? I am assuming it is...

When you fill out your form, does it get processed at all? If so, don’t forget the redirect "&redirectTo=`doc_id`" to send users to a thank you page.

My snippet is working, I’m sure, because I tested it without eForm. The simple test is to show 2 messages - one for logged user and one for not logged. It’s working!

The steps are:
1. check user logged -> show empty eform
2. user fill data
3. press submit -> reloading page
5. check user logged -> eform process data

Maybe you know how can I check, that eForm get my data? I think it is a problem on step 5. On step 5 it seems like I receive a simple new eForm call.

I use onBeforeMailSent to preprocess data from the form, but on step 5 I see only new empty form. When I print $_POST before any call of eForm - I see, that data from form in $_POST is present.

I will try to check eForm with &redirectTo, maybe it will work...

I think it took me a few tries to get it working properly for me too. (I just have a thick head sometimes)

Here is what my FormIt call loos like

[[!FormIt?
   &hooks=`email,redirect,spam`
   &emailTpl=`email_tpl`
   &emailTo=`[email protected]`
   &emailFromName=`My Company <[email protected]>`
   &emailSubject=`Clever Subject Line`
   &redirectTo=`83`
]]

I also had some validate stuff in there as well.

Then for the markup:

<p>[[+fi.error.error_message]]</p>
form id="frm_client_survey" action="[[~[[*id]]]]" method="post" />
<fieldset>
	<ol>
		<li><input type="hidden" name="nospam:blank" value="" /></li>
		
		<li><span class="error">[[+fi.error.looking_for]]</span>
		<label for="input">Form Label</label>
		<input type="text" id="input" name="input" value="[[+fi.input]]" /></li>
....

(and so on)

Hope this helps!
