Setting up an online submission form

---

SubmitWolf enterprise users may wish to use an online form to accept customer website submission information.

To take submission orders online, a HTML form is required. A client based form submission i.e. mailto is not recommended. For users not experienced in cgi programming, the Formmail cgi-script is a free simple server side form processing script. The home page for the script can be found by searching for Formmail on Google.

The form needs to have specific field names and values in order for SubmitWolf to use the data.

Here is a section of a submission form:




You may wish to use JavaScript on your submission form to enforce the following rules:

• The Personal Home Pages category is NOT for commercial sites
  
  
• All site types except non-commercial sites, MUST have a company name entered
  
  
• All adult/sex related sites MUST be submitted to the adult categories
  
  
• All gambling / betting sites must be submitted to the Entertainment - Gambling category.
  
  
• All compulsory fields must contain data in order to perform a submission
  

Failing to abide be the SubmitWolf submission policy may result in your licence being suspended or cancelled. It is advisable to check that a submission will not violate the policy prior to submitting the site.

You may wish to display or link to the category descriptions on your submission page to assist with correct category selection.



If you wish to use your own email address as the confirmation email, you can hard code your email address as a hidden field on the form, or hard code it into the CGI script. The same applies for any other fields, such as username/password.
