| Basic Configuration File Basic configuration file for the Form Processor Pro 4.1 is called formprocessorpro.cfg. It must be located in the same folder where Perl or PHP executable resides (formprocessorpro.pl or formprocessorpro.php). This file sets basic variables to make Form Processor Pro 4.1 work correctly. You can disable certain variables by putting '#' in the beginning of the line with variable. All symbols put after '#' are not treated as data and are mostly used as comments. Variables are listed below: base_path Specifies relative or absolute server path to the folder where your forms are placed in. If you have multiple forms in multiple directories, you must specify base_path in each start page of the form (see section FPP Configuration / Form Configuration). If omitted, base_path is the directory where FPP executable resides. Examples: base_path = ../form1/ #GOOD, relative path base_path = /usr/local/form1/ #GOOD, absolute path on Unix base_path = c:/wwwroot/data/form1/ # GOOD, absolute path on Windows base_path = http://www.site.org/form1/ #BAD: Path is not an Internet link (URL)! mail_cmd Sets the command to send mail via command line mailer. It is the most common way to use this variable to send mail from your web form. In most cases, you should leave it's value unchanged. mail_server Sets SMTP server for network delivery method. Is an alternative method for sending e-mails from your web form and is commonly used on Windows servers. By commenting this line, mail is being sent using mail_cmd parameters. Default value for mail_server is localhost. mail_format Defines format for outgoing email messages. May accept values: html or plain. Default is plain. Referers Multiple values. Sets those sites and pages you want to be able to use the Form Processor Pro 4.1 executable. All others will be denied access. You can be very specific on whether only one page has access or general so the whole site can use it. To allow any site at all to use the Form Processor Pro 4.1 installed on your site, comment out this value entirely. But it is not recommended as everyone will be able to send emails through your web site and this will be called SPAM. Thus using this variable in right way will allow you to prevent SPAM. Example: Referers = www.yoursite.com #your forms on the whole site "www.yoursite.com" can use script. Referers = www.yoursite2.com/users/john #only forms, submitted below the site and directory set, can use the script. attachments_path Specifies the path where user uploads and attachments reside. Relative to the folder set in base_path variable. Requires write permission to be set for that folder (see section Installing FPP/Installation/Step 3 for more details) Examples (base_path is set to '/home/user/'): attachments_path = ../attach/ #GOOD, destination folder is /home/attach/. attachments_path = attachments/ #GOOD, destination folder is /home/user/attachments/. attachments_path = /home/attach/ #BAD: incorrect path; folder /home/user/home/attach/ doesn't exist. attachments_ttl Specifies user attachments' time-to-live on server, in seconds. Default is 3600 (1 hour). max_file_size Specifies maximal file size for upload files, in Kbytes. Default is 0 (unlimited) Examples: max_file_size = 1024 #Good, file size is limited to 1 MByte (1 Mbyte = 1024 KBytes) Max_file_size = -1 #BAD: file size cannot be less than zero. date_format Specifies date format used in output templates (e.g. e-mails, logs, result pages etc.). Used in composite variable DATE_GMT (see section FPP Co/Section #). This variable is constructed from the following patterns to match standards in date output format:
You may use any ASCII character as a separator between numbers and strings as
well. _captcha
Type 0 is default and uses digits only. Types 1 and 2 use CAPS letters only, and
Type 4 is mixed register letters. Please note that this variable also can be
set in local form configuration file (form.cfg), making possible to use
individual CAPTCHA formats with your forms. |
