Your videos are so good! Almost, almost as good as the app.

[Eldar]

Very good update, and as @Monark said very cool video

[AdieJAM]

GREAT video, GREAT update!

10/10 again - amazing work @Norm @Helen and anyone else involved.

Personally, I am so impressed at dedication to make Blocs the #1 web builder for all of us. No doubt your desire is to see everyone in this field take notice. To me, Blocs 6.4.0 is the best choice for WYSIWYG for the MAC. Thank you for all the unknown hours you and your Team has dedicated for us.
There are so many new and exciting enhancements in Blocs 6.4.0 that it could have been a new version. I can’t imagine what you have down the pipeline.

Reading the entire list of new options and bug fixes was almost tiring , too much things at once! I’d already tested some things in the beta, but now I’m taking the time to review everything in 6.4.

Thank you and congratulations on the new release.

[RobertPetras]

This is a really great update, thank you, Norm!

I’m just sad that all of my forms are broken after the latest updates.

I have a question: why do checkboxes and radio buttons in forms send only 0 and 1 instead of true and false in the messages?

Also, the radioSetOne does not work at all — I’m not receiving the selected values in the outgoing emails. Any thoughts?

Thank you!

[Norm]

Hey @RobertPetras sorry to hear your forms don’t work. Are they sending ok? Just some data is missing?

I’ll tweak how checkbox data is displayed (true/false rather than 0/1) in the next release and look into the radio options problems.

Sometimes I get nothing.

No false or true no 0 no 1.

[RobertPetras]

@Norm Thank you, Norm, for your prompt response. I’ve noticed that the outgoing message system in Forms is broken in the latest release, 6.4.

I’ve attached screenshots for your reference.

I’ve already submitted a bug report and reverted to version 6.3.3, but the Preview test mode is still not working.

I would greatly appreciate it if you could investigate this issue further. Thank you once again!

Hi @RobertPetras

Just read your post. I have done the update on my Mac but not published any sites as yet - most of my websites are using PHP email as they just work!

My question is - are yours PHP emails or you using SMTP on the forms that are broken, just so I know what to look out for?

Thanks

[RobertPetras]

@AdieJAM I’m using the simplest self-hosted Standard PHP Mail post type. The messages are being sent with either 0/1 values or missing values entirely for the radio groups.

[Norm]

Sit tight there will be a fix out in a few hours.

[Norm]

hey @RobertPetras how are you adding the sections titles to your form emails? is that a hidden field?

[RobertPetras]

Slightly edited the PHP file in the “includes” folder… But I don’t think this is what broke the outgoing emails.

[Norm]

No its not that. But Im going to add support for those titles as a feature, its a nice touch to make plane text emails better.

[RobertPetras]

OMG! That would be awesome

[Norm]

Hey @RobertPetras and @Bootsie, I have just released a new build of 6.4 (build 41) with those form issues fixed.

Also @RobertPetras regarding your preview issues. Please try the following.

1. Restart your Mac.
2. Redownload 6.4 Directly and reinstall over the current version.
