Thanks for setting up the CMS user ID John.
Yes if you could do the copying of settings into a new form, that would be really helpful.

I have set up the blocks.  I have the following questions regarding this and the form in its current state:

1.  The map does not appear in IE, I will email you the error.
2.   I can't seem to add the help text as I have in the species forms (using this format: ?text?) - I don't need to add any at the moment (but in case)....I guess as it is not blocks it needs to go somewhere other than this part of the form.  I guess I could just add extra text in the page intro section, as I have done with the intro and species survey link; so this is not a major one.
3.   I can't seem to get the form to allow input of multiple values, this is needed on the questions where I have used radio groups for the attributes - this is despite ticking the multiple value input box in each custom attribute in the warehouse. E.g. boundary features may be banks, hedges and ditches. Also when I use radio groups, rather than drop-downs, the list is partly covered by the map; is there a way to force these to use 2 or 3 lines (as appropriate)....or suppose I could use the drop-down instead (when sorted for multiple values)?
4.  The search box for the map does not work, nor does clicking on the map to add the grid ref to the box on the left.  Is this because it does not yet have the settings you have offered to copy in (above)?

Thanks!

Thanks for the changes you have made.  I made changes suggested and cleared cache, the form seems to look better and has the multiple options, the map appears in IE7 and look fine and selects grid refs now.
Despite setting up the no of sections attribute....and being able to add the number in the form, the sections options do not appear and one cannot draw the route of the sections, like in your butterfly transect example you sent me.  Is this due to the my green lanes form not linking properly to this form?  If I do try http://www.nbis.org.uk/GreenLanesForm, I get this message: 'Information saved to the database' on a 'page not found' (http://www.nbis.org.uk/site-details?table=location&id=751#your-route).

Any thoughts?

Thanks!

Thanks John.

So I have made the set-ups or changes as you have detailed.

I have gone through the process of someone adding a green lane survey dataset in and, although I realise some further help text is needed at the top, I am not exactly sure if the data has been submitted.  I filled in the site details > then pressed save>  it then redirected to the my-green-lanes form as you said and I could draw the sections in the 'your route' tab > I then went to the section details tab, as there is no save on the your route tab > I then clicked save in this section, which just lists the sections drawn > once clicked it does say data is saved.
Where in the database can I see the records, as I have looked under occurrences and samples (which I know is species orientated) and the usual 'Survey details' report I use I cannot see the data for this?

Thanks

Sam

thanks john,

we shall have a think here about that, and whether we want attributes for the sections or just the lane itself.  If we don't want attributes for the section, and to be honest even if we do, is there anyway of putting a redirect at the end or a message (information saved to database or record submitted etc), so that people feel they have actually completed the submission........I'm aware there is a message before you get to 'Your route'......so I guess I could put some help text to explain.

Also not sure I got an answer about how I view the data in the warehouse, once submitted......and indeed in drupal (is this simply a verification form again?) - thanks

Also on a separate subject:
I have just updated Drupal to a minor security release, and now my add images upload buttons on my iforms do not work on the grid mode only, eg.:http://www.nbis.org.uk/AllSpeciesForm?newSample=&gridmode=
I have tried unticking java script optimisation and clearing caches, but this does not make any difference - I did this as I know this had caused some problems a while back.
Any thoughts?  I sure it is something obvious.

Cheers

Sam

When you save the details of the lane (before your details) there is a message as you note. I guess your confusion is that when you draw each transect section, the section is immediately saved to the database so you don't have to submit anything. It's less confusing probably when there are attributes because you would go to the third tab to update attribute values then save them so at least you have the benefit of feeling like you clicked a submit button. I guess a solution would be to briefly display a notice that the section has been saved to the database each time you create a new section.
The my-green-lanes page I set up is your best way of viewing the data because it gives you an edit link with full details available of all sections in one place. It is setup to filter the report for the current logged in user, so if you want to make a copy of this page for admin use you can remove the filter "attr_location_cms_user_id={user_id}" from the preset parameter values then use Drupal permissions to make it only accessible to admin.

I'm afraid I'm stuck on why you are getting JS errors since the Drupal update. I've upgraded my local copy to Drupal 6.25 and it works fine, plus I've upgraded your plupload component to 1.5.2 (the latest) and yours still does not work so there must be some JS on your site clashing with the uploader.
