zem_contact_reborn v4.5.0.0: contact mail form processing

colak · 2017-06-23 14:07:26

Is there a way to have a pull down menu with different recipients using the zcr?

At the moment all I see is

<txp:zem_contact to="recipient@example.com">

… unless of course I am missing something!

So I put <txp:variable name="zem_contact_error" /> for testing on the page, inside the body class, to see what’s in there on an error, but there’s nothing new there. Am I doing it wrong?

Yiannis, the section “User selectable recipient, without showing email address” from the plugin help might be what you’re after.

OK, I see that was certainly not what you meant, Stef, but tracing errors in the console window didn’t give a hint either …

Ah, no. You’ll only be able to get to the variable from PHP. Try making a new public-side plugin from Plugin Composer and enable it:

register_callback('uli_zcr_bodyclass', 'zemcontact.render');

function uli_zcr_bodyclass($evt, $stp, $data, $atts)
{
    global $zem_contact_error;
    dmp($zem_contact_error); // Just to see what it contains

    if ($zem_contact_error) {
        echo script_js(<<<EOJS
jQuery(function() {
    jQuery('body').addClass('zemerror');
});
EOJS;
        );
    }
}

Untested, but something like that might work.

And here’s another question

Is there a way to have one contact form which could be embedded in various domains (php pages) using the rah_external plugin?

ie using

<?php
echo file_get_contents('http://www.my_txp_install.txp/?rah_external_output=my_contact_form');
?>

> Edit: I did not manage to send an email using the above yet!

Ah, setting up a plugin is beyond my scope. The more I have to thank you for it!

We’re coming closer: the script is inserted, but twice. Still no new class in the body tag, though. I’m scratching my head.

This is possibly a new question. In the past few months we have been receiving 2-3 spam emails/week/zcr form I have installed in our sites.

The emails come from various IP addresses so I can not block those. What they all have in common is the sender’s email address whose pattern is: fundingteam+mydomain.tld@businessloansfunded.com.

Is there a way to block them on the plugin/server side?

Bloke · 2017-06-26 09:10:00

The plugin can’t block it natively, but you can easily throw together a plugin module for it. Here’s a simple example plugin:

register_callback('zcr_verify', 'zemcontact.submit');

function zcr_verify()
{
    $emailField = trim(ps('Email'));
    $banPatterns = explode("\n", fetch_form('zcr_spam_patterns'));

    $evaluation = &get_zemcontact_evaluator();

    // If the email address matches one of the given patterns, fail.
    foreach ($banPatterns as $pattern) {
        $pat = trim($pattern);

        if ($pat && preg_match($pat, $emailField)) {
            $evaluation -> add_zemcontact_status(1);
        }
    }

    return;
}

It uses a specially-named form called zcr_spam_patterns to hold a list (one per line) of regular expressions that will be matched against the email field. Just add lines like this:

/fundingteam.*?@businessloansfunded.com/
/spammer.*?@example.org/
...

remembering to delimit each line with ‘/’ (unless you’re using that character in your expression itself, then you’d use a different character for the delimiter) and you’re away.

Hope that helps.

If the plugin works, yes! Does it do what you want?
