I have 5 different pages with different contact forms (all with different recipients). I created different databases for each form, made sure to link all the fields to the each separate database, but they are all posting to the same database.
Also, in Mobile view the forms will post to the database (still just the one) but not send out an email. What am I missing?
I finally figured it out for myself. Decided to post my solution in case it could help someone else save the time + headache. Skill level: beginner javascript, so feel free to “programmersplain” where I get hazy.
︎ Diff Forms posting to the same database despite attaching/connecting to different databases:
I deleted and re-attached each database to each page, then connected each form field/Submit button again. Clean slate. Make sure the database is “Write-Only” and the database permissions are set to “Form Submission”. Then I tested each one in preview mode, made sure the emails sent/posted to correct database, and then published the database & page. I’m guessing that because I had duplicated the pages and then made changes to each form, the code got mucked up. OR, I didn’t go through testing in the preview phase before publishing? Not exactly clear what did it TBH…
For good measure, I also made sure to change the ID of each database to something different on each page. Instead of #dataset6 on each page, i made up a page-specific naming convention.
︎ Emails not sending in mobile view:
When in mobile editing view, make sure that there are no errors (red dots) in the script view window. When I was editing/“designing” the page in mobile view, I was hiding strips/groups/etc that apparently held the floating database attachment icon. They are HIDDEN in mobile view, so it was a bit of a guessing game.
→ NOTE TO WIX: Please make databases visible in mobile view to avoid confusion.
Okie dokie. Good luck!
