My web form has a custom field. When MLK imports the e-mail, it imports the name and e-mail, and includes the custom field, but not the custom field's value (content). I see this by going into the person's record and also in the database itself when I export it. The structure of the e-mail that comes in is the same for the custom field as the name and e-mail fields. What could cause this?
Thanks,
Ellen

Nigel,
Got it! I thought I'd entered that space, since you told me to do it before, but when I went in there -- no space. Now it works! Thanks for your help,
Ellen

Hi Ellen

I'm pretty sure that if you go into View > Options, Web Forms, "Web Form Message Format" you'll find that you have specified your separation character as just:

"=" (i.e. <EQUALS>)

You need to specify the space before the equals sign to match your web form:

" =" (i.e. <SPACE><EQUALS>)


In the next update we'll make it less rigid in requiring spaces to match.

Nigel,
It still isn't working. Any other ideas?

Hi Ellen

This form looks okay.

You should download v9.25 (from the same link as other v9 downloads).

Also check your web form settings under View > Options, Web Forms, "Specify Web Form Fields" have the separation character as
=
i.e. <SPACE><EQUALS><SPACE>

v. 9.10BR, It also says Personal Edition
It's a text area, where people can enter a question. The code in the form is:
<p><textarea cols="50" name="comment" rows="4"></textarea>
The e-mail comes in looking like this (this is a test, of course):
commit = Submit your question
comment = Hello this is a question
subject = webinar question
Email = ellenfinkelstein@yahoo.com
Name = Ellen

I'm only trying to collect name, email, and comment. "Comment" is the custom field. Name and email work fine. I'm wondering if it requires an <input> tag, but it's sending the information properly; my problem is that MLK isn't picking it up.
Thanks.

Hi Ellen

What version of MailList King are you using?

Can you give me an example of the content of your web form submission message?
