I am using this for a client. And for some reason or another, the contact form inquiries aren’t getting through to their email address. But when I change it to a gmail account, he is getting the inquiries ,although they do fall into the spam folder.
Two questions;
Why aren’t the inquiries going into his initial email account. Is it something wrong with the domain registrar email solution that is causing this?
Aside from marking the email as “not spam”, is there anything else that I can do to make sure that the inquiries don’t fall into the spam folder but the inbox. A temporary workaround that we are using is to forward the inquiries from his gmail into his main email account.
But the permanent solution that I’m seeking is to figure out why the inquiries aren’t coming in at all with the initial email account
I don’t know if this is your situation but if your client has his own email server, e.g. a MS Exchange Server, operating on the same domain via the appropriate entries in the domain zone file, then it is likely that email generated from a form on the website will not reach any of that domain’s email addresses. In situations like that one needs to get the host to make the appropriate adjustments to their set up or ‘provisioning’ of the domain.
I hope this helps.

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20
Having a small issue with <txp:zem_contact_radio />
I have the following:
<txp:zem_contact_radio name="registrationfee" label="Student" group="fees" />
<txp:zem_contact_radio name="registrationfee" label="General-Member" />
<txp:zem_contact_radio name="registrationfee" label="Non-Member" />
When the form gets submitted…I get stuff like this in the value=:
qacc88920832962d6d642a1544dd3d0ea
Do I have this setup wrong?
I need the value of the label to be passed in the form submit.
Plz. hlp.

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20
I’m speculating a bit here about what you’re trying to do but… you shouldn’t be looking at how ZCR submits stuff by using $_POST, but rather look at the contents of the zem_contact_form/values/labels arrays after submitting the form. Those arrays contain validated and sanitized input.

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20
Has anyone got an image field to work on the submit button – I get an enlarged form button behind it using:
<txp:zem_contact_submit><img src=“path/to/img.png” alt=“submit”></txp:zem_contact_submit>

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20
Use a normal HTML submit button instead.
zem_contact_submit doesn’t really do anything special. It just creates a normal submit button. If you can create a better one using normal HTML, go for it. It’ll work fine.

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20
Hello,
I’m currently using v4.0.3.17. Not upgraded yet as the site I have the plugin installed on is a biggie and worried about it breaking stuff at the moment.
I have a weird problem. The plugin has worked fine with two different contact forms on two separate pages.
However, I’ve now got a problem that is driving me nuts.
I made a new section called ‘nomination’. I made that section use my static page template.
I made a new article that uses the ‘nomination’ section, and in that article placed an output_form call to a TXP form containing the contact form I want to use.
The contact form is called mba_nom_form.
When going to the URL for the form (mysite.com/nomination) the form shows and required fields are caught when the form is submitted.
However, when submitting a form that contains all required fields, the form is not submitted (no email is received) and TXP throws a generated 404 page on that URL (mysite.com/nomination).
I’ve used this technique of placing contact forms in static pages in sections before and it works no problem – but this one is making me tear my hair out.
I did notice phpMyAdmin complaining that PRIMARY and INDEX keys should not both be set for column ‘name’ after I added the new section in TXP. Not sure if that has anything to do with this.
Any help would be greatly apreciated.
EDIT – Just to make clear that I am using a ‘thanks’ form, but that’s not causing the error as the name when called by zem_contact thanks_form is correct, etc.

ZCR 4.0.3.17 is a 2 year old version of this plugin with known security problems. Please upgrade first.

Oops! Will do.
However, we found out what the problem was. A label for one of the fields had exactly the same name as one of our TXP custom fields. We changed the name of the label and everything worked again.

If anyone reading this thread knows of a unique or cool use of zem_contact_reborn, then they can leave a comment about it in this article
There are many ways the plugin has been used and I thought it would be good to have links to them in one place without having to trawl through lots of forum pages.

Re: zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20
Hi,
I’m trying to uses Els’s trick to have different languages for zem_contact_reborn.
It works on some strings, but it doesn’t in others. Particularly, on ‘email_subject’, and ‘message’.
On ‘email_subject’ it seems it escapes txp tags (or doesn’t parse them) so the subject on the email has <txp:tag /> on it.
For ‘message’, it always outputs the content of the second conditional, always.
