[Plugin: WordPress Form Manager] getting errors after activate the plugin

Markus, this is a ‘PHP warning’. It is a known issue but, these should not be showing on a production server anyway. What host are you using?

Hi Mr. Hoffmann,

we are hosting at “United Domains”.

Kind Regards

Markus

I confirm several “Notice: Undefined index: ” errors scattered around the place when using the plugin.
It could be a good practice to check for indexes before using them. It is troublesome during development and whether I want it or not I have to fix these errors manually.

On activation it outputs error mentioned by OP.
On deactivating and subsequent activation it outputs some unexpected data.
On Advanced Settings page it throws:

Notice: Undefined index: template_email in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-form-manager/pages/editsettingsadv.php on line 215
Notice: Undefined index: template_summary in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-form-manager/pages/editsettingsadv.php on line 216

On resetting templates:
Notice: Undefined variable: template in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-form-manager/template.php on line 152

It was throwing something on front end as well but I lost it. Will update once I get it again.

Edit:
Other errors I found in the log file. Some of them are SQL error. Not sure how much this impacts the plugin functionality.
PHP Notice: Undefined variable: charset_collage in /wp-content/plugins/wordpress-form-manager/db.php on line 378

FYI I didn’t create any forms yet.

WordPress 3.4.1
Plugin 1.6.37

I agree, and I apologize for the pain this must be on a development server. I should have taken the time to eliminate the PHP warnings/notices. For the MySQL I genuinely did not understand what is considered ‘standard’ versus ‘acceptable’ (I do now).

However I’m developing version 2 right now (without blatantly ignoring warnings & notices…), so I’m not going to fix the 1.6.x warnings/notices.
