I later started selling the application through the CodeCanyon marketplace, on a non-exclusive basis (I was also selling it directly here using PayPal).</p> <p>CodeCanyon choose the price that they want to sell your product at. This isn't all that uncommon – Amazon do that – but it can be undesirable if they choose to sell your product for less than you'd like. They chose to sell SCP for $11 which, considering many people these days seem to think the standard rate for software is $0.99, is still pretty good for me so I decided to give it a try. They also offer an "extended" license option for products that I was able to opt in to.</p> <p>Since putting it on, most sales started coming from there so I decided that it was best for me to sell it exclusively there (in order to get a better revenue split). As far as I'm concerned, the extended license is the new developer license and by purchasing that license you're welcome to install it on multiple sites.</p> <p>I still believe that it's the best value way to buy the application if you're a web designer who works on many sites. It's not quite as economical compared to the single-domain license as before (at the cost of five single domain licenses), but it's a little cheaper than it used to be at $55 so hopefully that makes up for it.</p> <p>Also, because of the way CodeCanyon works, single-domain and extended license holders will be able to get all updates that I release.</p> <p>I hope that was helpful.

This is fine in most cases but if you have subsequently changed your form – to add, remove or reorder fields – you might find that the column order in your export doesn't exactly match your current form.</p> <p>Please note that I don't delete submission data from the database when you remove a field from the form. This is deliberate since it would be a faulty assumption on my part to think that just because a piece of information is no longer needed, that it never was needed. All submitted data will appear in the export.</p> <p>In future I plan to rewrite the export script to be based on the current form content, with any anomalous fields being added to the end of the spreadsheet. I don't have a timeframe for this though because it's not a high demand feature.</p> <p>It keeps the application simple if functions like the export aren't complicated by interfaces where you choose which fields you want to export. If you want to remove a column, the best way would be to do so in your spreadsheet application. </p> http://www.simplecontactform.com/forums/topic/export-columns-not-inline-with-the-content#post-436 Thu, 22 Sep 2011 08:16:06 +0000 electricspace 436@http://www.simplecontactform.com/forums/ <p>Hello when I export the inbox some of my columns are not in the correct columns, I think they are custom columns<br /> Also I would like to remove some columns like the 'time' ones.</p> <p>many thanks</p> <p>neil </p> http://www.simplecontactform.com/forums/topic/add-a-calendar-date-picker-field-to-contact-form-pro#post-435 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 10:01:29 +0000 Alex 435@http://www.simplecontactform.com/forums/ <p>Apologies for the delay, I've been very busy lately (with getting married for one thing!).</p> <p>I'm currently finishing up testing version 2.02, which I'll release in a few days.

Honestly, I never really get reports of that. I do get the occasional spam email through my own installations on my websites, but spam unfortunately is an ongoing issue.

I get hundreds of spam submissions to my blogs and forum a week.</p> <p>I assume you're referring to spam submissions on your form and not spam email in general? For instance putting your email address on your website will attract a lot of spam, but a lot of people recommend doing it anyway because users often prefer to easily find an email address.</p> <p>I also dislike CAPTCHAs, partly because they're ineffective but mainly because they make spam the user's problem rather than the website owner's. I'd rather make life easier on my users and get a bit of spam.</p> <p>I do have plans to add exactly the feature you describe - an anti-spam question field type - but I don't have a timeframe for it, because it's not a high-demand feature.

Storing data this way, rather than by generating files on the server, is actually easier from an end-user point of view. Setting file permissions can be tricky and can create server errors and security vulnerabilities. Even the cheapest of shared server hosting providers should allow you to create at least one database.</p> <p>The original reason I made it was to solve my own problem (programmers call that "scratching your own itch"). At the time, it seemed like I was writing a lot of form scripts, for my job and for freelance projects. Everyone dislikes repeatedly doing the same work, so I wanted something that I could use to save myself time. After looking around, I didn't find any products (free or paid) that I liked, so I decided to make one for myself.</p> <p>I soon realised that what worked for me might work for other people, so the application I made evolved into the first version of simpleContact Lite.</p> <p>Making an HTML form is simple enough, but my applications aim to solve certain problems:</p> <p><strong>1)</strong> It's easy to write very bad HTML and CSS. I wanted to help users by writing good code for them.<br /> <strong>2)</strong> The data that people enter needs to be validated, whether it's for fields that the website owner wants, or that information (like an email address) appears to be entered correctly.<br /> <strong>3</strong> It's not enough to just validate a form with JavaScript, because spammers easily bypass it. The form needs to be validated by a script on the server.<br /> <strong>4)</strong> Actually sending an email is trickier than it seems. The built-in mail() function in PHP is very basic and doesn't support many features. That's why simpleContact Lite and Pro both integrate the PHPMailer library. Also, you need to configure a script to successfully communicate with an SMTP server.<br /> <strong>5)</strong> It's not enough to just send an email, the data should be stored. I've seen it before where a form didn't store an email, and the message was deleted by the recipient was therefore was lost.<br /> <strong>6)</strong> Everyone with a business website should have a mailing list. Very few scripts support adding a mailing list opt-in to your form.<br /> <strong>7)</strong> It should be easy to install, without knowing PHP. It should also be easy to change your settings without editing files, just by using the browser admin.</p> <p>As you can see, there was quite a lot to think about when building the application. If you only need something very simple, then try <a href="/lite">simpleContact Lite</a>. It's completely free, and if you wanted to upgrade to Pro later it's very easy to import all your data. </p>
