Hi all,
I still can't get the desired results, so I'm posting some code so that
someone can tell me what I'm missing. Basically I could have a "form.cfm"
and an "action.cfm" page, or I could process both form and actions on the
same page. I'm using the first option (2 separate pages), following one of
the examples posted before:
- - - - Form page (registrationForm.cfm) - - - - - -
<cfparam name="form.UserFirstName" default="">
<cfparam name="form.UserLastName" default="">
<cfoutput>
<form action="" method="POST"
name="registration_form" id="registration_form">
<input name="UserFirstName" type="text" value="#form.UserFirstName#"
size="15" maxlength="25">
<input type="text" name="UserLastName" value="#form.UserLastName#"
size="15" maxlength="35">
<input type="text" name="UserID" maxlength="20" size="15">
<input type="submit" name="register" value="Submit">
</form>
</cfoutput>
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
- - - - Action page (registrationAction.cfm) - - - -
<cfif NOT isDefined("form.register")>
<cfset back2registration="registrationForm.cfm?warning=" &
URLEncodedFormat("Invalid information entered. Please complete this
registration form")>
<cflocation url=""> </cfif>
<cfif IsDefined("FORM.register")>
<cftransaction>
<cfquery name="checkUser" datasource="dicUsers_dsn">
SELECT user_tb.UserID FROM user_tb WHERE user_tb.UserID='#FORM.UserID#'
</cfquery>
<cfif checkUser.RecordCount GTE 1>
<cfset back2registration ="registrationForm.cfm?message=" &
URLEncodedFormat("Username already exists. Please choose a different one")>
<cflocation url=''>
<cfelse>
(create the username here before someone else takes it. Code not
included)
</cfif>
</cftransaction>
</cfif>
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
As it is now, when the visitor is sent back because the username already
exists, the First Name and Last Name fields in the form are not
self-populated with the previously entered information, and the visitor has
to re-enter all of it (the real form has much more information to be
re-entered).
So, what am I missing here?
Thanks in advance,
Roberto
