module - form2 (form with some extras)

[Bear]

ok, ran the update script and erased it. update script seemed to work this time, though it did not earlier, mabey i was typing the url wrong? i noticed that the settings do not stay set. if you set them once, then go back into settings again, they are reset. also, the page that the form is on is still showing as a 500. ideas?

[Bear]

Also, I noticed that in the settings the spaces for header, field loop and footer are blank. do i need to fill them in or do they automatically have an unseen default value that makes them work correctly?

It seems you installed the form page incorrectly due to not having run the update script prior to making the form page

delete the form page and start all over will do the trick.

Good luck,
John

Hi John, what a great module.

Would it be possible to have in the settings section of the form in the e-mail from field appart from Custom one which says User, and if this is selected the email will be sent to the users e-mail as defined in the user profile, that would be fantastic, I am happy to embark on this if you don't have the time, just give me some hints.

thanks gerhard

Hi Matthias,

I think I was not quite clear what I am after.

 also your link is pointing to another topic, but I have the latest form module installed and run the update_form.php

My form can only be accessed by a loged in user, that means I have an e-mail addressd in the database for this user.
I would like, that the form email be sent to the users email, without having to create an email field on the form, just pull it out of the user database.

hope this is clearer, thank for the fast response

Do you un1

Don't think it is plain do-able within current form modules (the standard or the new one)


What you want:
logged in user can see and fill in the form, the submission must got to the users email

options:
1 rewrite a bit of view.php wich will hide the emailtype input (make it a hidden field)
2 rewrite the bit wich sends the submission
3 rewrite the backend (and frontend) to use logged in user as emailaddress

If you use the form module only once you could easiest add some code in the view.php of the form module where it adds the hidden field with the users email (but this will be plain visible in the source, so watch out for email harvesters!), better is to put the users id in the send routine

original formmodule - view.php line 318

Code:

// Now send the email
if($email_to != '') {
if($email_from != '') {
if($wb->mail($email_from,$email_to,$email_subject,$email_body)) { $success = true; }
}
}

add some code before wich fetches the users emailaddress and set $email_to



Have fun
John

Problem:

On the website, everything works correctly, I see my Thank you page and in the Administration that an email has been sent.

BUT: The success-email does not arrive at the destination. That means for the one who sent me the email: No mail received. (I did receive the mail from the contact form, but not the sender, where I put, in the settings, Email Fied as the address to send a mail to.)

In short, hopefully to be understandable: If you submit a contact form at gauer.net, I get the mail, but YOU DON'T get my confirmation mail

Big problem. Anyone knows how I can resolve this issue/problem.

BTW: If I look at the email in the pages section, in line 3 it says: User: unknown.

Would appreiciate any help!

Thanks and have a nice day,

André
