I'm a newbie looking for instructions on where to put the form files on my host site. I put them with the rest of my website pages but apparently that wasn't correct or I needed to do something else because all I get the 404 error. Could someone tell me what to do?
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
The form files can be moved to any location you want.
The forms are generated in ../formgen/use/formname/...
All the files and folders in that last level must be moved together in order to maintain all functionality.
Doing this for one form works but as soon as you add a second one there will be some common file names that will break the first form in favor of the second. If all you want to move is one form then you should be safe using this method. Otherwise post again so I can clarify the issues with doing this with 2 or more forms.
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
Each form uses a file called "process.php" so when you use more than one form you will need to either use separate folders or you will need to modify each form to use a different name for each process.php file. If you choose a different name then you need to rename each file to match what is used in the form file.
For db storage you will need to modify each process.php file so that the db read write is managed properly. The forms can use the same admin folder and files as long as the db read/write has been taken care of.

I guess I don't understand because all three forms open up fine when I open my website pulling from the files on my computer instead of the internet. If I go to my website using the internet, none of the forms open up.
I already have 3 different form names (i think)- vendor form\tmp\persistent\form79578\processor.php, contact us form\tmp\persistent\form79538\processor.php and newsletter form\tmp\persistent\form79583\processor.php... do I need to do something else? Like processor1, processor2, etc?

Thank you so much for responding. I actually have 3 different forms that I'd like to use.
Each form uses a file called "process.php" so when you use more than one form you will need to either use separate folders or you will need to modify each form to use a different name for each process.php file. If you choose a different name then you need to rename each file to match what is used in the form file.

I finally figured it out! Thank you so much for your help!!
