Here is an example of the WordPress template you build in your current WordPress theme. For those of you who do not know how to build a custom Wordpress Template, there is tons of info on the net with how to videos and such. Here is a great video tutorial: <a href="http://www.wordpressmax.com/customize-wordpress/custom-page" rel="nofollow">http://www.wordpressmax.com/customize-wordpress/custom-page</a> Hope this helps. <?php /* Template Name: Experimental */ ?> <?php get_header(); ?> <div id="wrap"> <div id="content" class="fullwidth"> <?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div id="page-<?php the_ID(); ?>" <?php post_class(); ?>> <h2><?php the_title(); ?></h2> <?php edit_post_link(__( 'Edit', 'themezee_lang' )); ?> <div class="entry"> <?php the_post_thumbnail('medium', array('class' => 'alignleft')); ?> <?php the_content(); ?> <?php require("/home/acctname/public_html/forms/machform.php"); $mf_param['form_id'] = 1; $mf_param['base_path'] = 'http://www.yourdomain.com/forms/'; display_machform($mf_param); ?> <div class="clear"></div> <?php wp_link_pages(); ?> </div> </div> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php endif; ?> </div> </div> <?php get_footer(); ?> mattdmin on "MachForm integration into WordPress Page as a PHP Page Template" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/machform-integration-into-wordpress-page-as-a-php-page-template#post-12568 Mon, 12 Sep 2011 02:24:37 +0000 mattdmin 12568@https://www.machform.com/forums/ I actually took it down for the time being. I figured out why it was only coming up as the form page itself when I linked, it is because it is supposed too! It was merely calling the form itself with no other PHP or HTML involved. I'm currently building a page template that will contain the form, just haven't had the time. But I did get MachForms integrated into WordPress, and will post as I get a full template done. yuniar on "MachForm integration into WordPress Page as a PHP Page Template" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/machform-integration-into-wordpress-page-as-a-php-page-template#post-12547 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 19:10:49 +0000 yuniar 12547@https://www.machform.com/forums/ Do you have any URL I could check or test? mattdmin on "MachForm integration into WordPress Page as a PHP Page Template" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/machform-integration-into-wordpress-page-as-a-php-page-template#post-12542 Tue, 06 Sep 2011 10:26:55 +0000 mattdmin 12542@https://www.machform.com/forums/ I figured it out with one small fix, only problem is that it doesn't keep the form in the WordPress CMS, it goes to the form itself, but keeps it where I placed the PHP file in the Wordpress directory. What a pain. <a href="http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/problem-with-validate_username-function?replies=12" rel="nofollow">http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/problem-with-validate_username-function?replies=12</a> mattdmin on "MachForm integration into WordPress Page as a PHP Page Template" https://www.machform.com/forums/topic/machform-integration-into-wordpress-page-as-a-php-page-template#post-12541 Tue, 06 Sep 2011 10:07:38 +0000 mattdmin 12541@https://www.machform.com/forums/ I've been working on getting MachForms into a Wordpress page template as an individual PHP file, as Wordpress does not allow adding PHP code to pages or posts unless you install a plugin(which can be very unsecure). I've got it working after I installed my MachForms SQL DB into the original Wordpress DB, but had to comment out some code in the Wordpress user.php file to actually get it working. I don't want to do it this way, as the validation code is needed for security IMO. The code I commented out in my Wordpress /wp-includes/user.php is: /** * Checks whether an username is valid. * * @since 2.0.1 * @uses apply_filters() Calls 'validate_username' hook on $valid check and $username as parameters * * @param string $username Username. * @return bool Whether username given is valid */ /* Commented here function validate_username( $username ) { $sanitized = sanitize_user( $username, true ); $valid = ( $sanitized == $username ); return apply_filters( 'validate_username', $valid, $username ); */ Anyone have any suggestions on how to modify this to work with MachForms? If so, I figured out a pretty smooth fix, but this is where I am stuck. It seems that the uservalidation is looking for a table called mywordpressdb.app_forms
