@rudd
It seems that ZCR don’t send values keep by php session.
I use this kind of code :

<txp:php>
if (isset($_POST['choice'])) {
$_SESSION['choice'] = $_POST['choice'];
echo '<txp:zem_contact_text label="Your choice :" default="'.$_SESSION['choice'].'" name="choice" />';
} else {
if (!empty($_SESSION['choice'])) {
echo '<txp:zem_contact_text label="Your choice :" default="'.$_SESSION['choice'].'" name="choice" />';
} else {
echo '<txp:zem_contact_text label="Make a choice :" default="'.$_SESSION['choice'].'" name="choice" />';}
}</txp:php>

Have you any idea to send this values within ZCR?
Tks lot for your answer.
Cheers,

There’s no need to use a session, because:

if the form is submitted succesfully, the form variables should not longer be stored.
if an error does occur, the user gets a chance to alter form input, so whatever was stored in $_SESSION would be over-written with the new form input.

When $_POST is empty, there shouldn’t be anything ZCR related in $_SESSION either, so wherever $_SESSION is used, you can use $_POST instead and get the same result.

PS. the value of the “default” attribute should be HTML escaped.

Hello.

I have a multi-author blog: it would be great for me an hack which allows Zem Contact Reborn to operate with different e-mail address. Example, I read the post of Author A and I want to contact him: I go to the contact form, write my request, put subject, name and address and, with a drop down menu (with Author A, B, C… and so on, names), choosing the right recipient can I send him the e-mail.
Even a “Send to all” option would be useful for the authors themselves.

I think this would be useful but I don’t know how much is difficult to do.

candyman, read the plugin help, you’ll find how to do this in the ‘advanced examples’ section of the plugin help.

It would be really nice this plugin could get a seperate home with all the info in one place and some samples too. Isn´t here anybody around who likes to set up a zem_contact_reborn Home :)

ruud · 2007-05-08 10:22:53

alexandra, such a home already exists. It’s called the plugin help. At least, that’s where I’ve tried to put all the relevant information and examples. If it needs improvements, feel free to make suggestions. Using the plugin help has the advantage that it’s contents are always in sync with the plugin itself and there’s no risk of it disappearing.

ruud, i was thinking of a website with some samples and some docu concerning the plugin. I am not sure newbies find this plugin easily. parts of the docu i do not understand myself. i am no programmer and my english is …sigh.. somehow often not sufficient to understand right away. However, thanks so much for all the work you put in and of course for all your other efforts on coding txp :)!!

ruud · 2007-05-08 17:23:34

Asking questions here and/or pointing out the parts that can be improved, that really does help to improve the documentation. For me it’s sometimes hard to see what the user sees as difficult, so that’s why getting feedback from users is important.

Writing documentation is a lot of work especially for plugins as big as ZCR, so instead of duplicating effort, I’d like to focus on improving what’s already there. If the plugin help is too difficult (compared to TextBook), I think that’s a bug… and bugs should be fixed ;)

I can make the plugin documentation available on the same website that hosts the plugin download.

I think that is a step forward. There is documentation on Stuarts site but i do not know if this is still up to date. However a centrale place for the plugin with some docu and samples would make life easier. I could link it from the german txp resource blog instead of linking all those different places.

Started experimenting with this plugin.. It was about time as I remember its different incarnations since… forever.
I remember that I saw somewhere in this forum that there is an add on to this to protect from spam. Maybe I’m wrong.. Not sure what to search for…

pap_contact_cleaner, an orphaned plugin.

I’m setting up a Textpattern site for the first time, and have tried to install this plugin, but get a blank page when I should be getting the screen that shows me the code and the helpfile. I’ve tried a few different browsers, but have not tried another computer. (I don’t have access to a second webhost.)

Any idea what is wrong?
