Julián, I’d rather break backward compatibility than add an attribute for that ;)
If it really bothers you, it’s very simple to remove the divs from the plugin code or move them to a different place.

No problem, ruud! Thanks anyway!
I will take a look into the plugin code, squash that div and then feel like Kempes and Bertoni in 1978 World Cup

Thanks for the great Plugin… I have a rather stupid problem: I can’t get rid of the border around the form. I tried to adress it via the “zemContactForm”-Class but the border-tag doesn’t work – can anybody give me a hint with which tag I can adress this issue?

Thanks in advance!

You need

fieldset {border: 0;}

in the CSS.

thank you for the immediate answer! that was exactly what I was looking for!

It’s easier to just set the label attribute to an empty string.

I have seen several posts on this, but cannot seem to get it to function.

All I want to do is “send to” more than one recipient. Is there a trick? I have entered three addresses sepeparetd by comma’s, but it seems only to send to one …

Just a simple question:
any variable to include the sender’s name in the subject?
I just modified zem_contact_lang to this:

'email_subject' => "[$var1 Website] ",

but a client wants the name of the sender included in the subject.

and I’m not sure how to include the name, supposing the name is a required field.

Any idea?

Thx

See the plugin help

Only instead of the zem_contact_select tag, you could use a zem_contact_text tag there.

Thanks a lot ruud! I’m Going to try it!

hi there

is it possible to have multiple fieldsets with this plugin? It somehow doesn’t work for me and I’ve found nothing in the search or comments.

Thanks for the quick reply and regards Marcel

ruud · 2008-07-06 10:40:25

Set the “label” attribute to an empty string in the zem_contact tag. You can then create your own fieldsets in HTML code.

I have implemented this plugin just fine on several hosts. I have a new site on fasthosts.co.uk, and in the diagnostics I see:

The following PHP functions (which may be necessary to run Textpattern) are disabled on your server: pass_thru, pcntl_exec, proc_close, proc_get_status, proc_nice, proc_terminate, pclose, pfsockopen, posix_kill, posix_mkfifo

The form seems to work fine (www.saatchishul.org/contact), but it never sends an email!

I realize there’s not much to go on, but any ideas what might be the issue? I don’t see any of those functions in the plugin code…maybe some other server issue getting in the way?

Thanks

UPDATE: I found this sample script on the fasthosts site:

Provided that you set the sendmail variable, before attempting to send the email. Specify the from address as a fifth parameter in the sendmail function, and the email is either to, or from, a Fasthosts hosted email address you should have no problems.

<?php
ini_set(‘sendmail_from’, $email_from);
$email_to = “bob@bobsdomain.co.uk”;
$name =$_POST[‘name’];
$email_from =$_POST[‘email’];
$email_subject = “Feedback from website”;
$comments = $_POST[‘message’];
$headers =
“From: $email_from .\n”;
“Reply-To: $email_from .\n”;

Now lets build the message of the email with the users name and comments.

$message= “Name: “. $name . “\nComments: “ . $comments;

Finally, let’s send the email. If the email is sent we will go to a thank you page, if there is an error we will display a brief message.

$sent = mail($email_to, $email_subject, $message, $headers, ‘-f’ .$email_from);
if ($sent)
{
header( “Location: http://www.bobsdomain.co.uk/thankyou.html” );
} else {
echo ‘There has been an error sending your comments. Please try later.’;
}
?>

example sendmailscript form

This script does not have any validation or error checking, so it is not recommended that you copy it directly to your website, however, it does show the basics of sending email from our webservers, and can be used as a framework for your own scripts.

Using third party scripts to send email
Third party scripts using sendmail will also work on Fasthosts servers, although some will need slight changes made in order to work correctly.

If you are using a third party script to send email remember to set the sendmail_from variable (using ini_set(‘sendmail_from’,email_from)), add the fifth -f parameter, and send the email either to, or from, a Fasthosts hosted email address.

This all seems helpful, but I’m wary of editing the plugin code — any guidance much appreciated!

LAST UPDATE I promise:

I edited this line:

if (mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers))

to read:

if (mail($to, $subject, $msg, $headers, '-fme@mydomain.org'))

except with a real email address. I don’t really get why this worked, but it seems to have, so mabe it will help someone else.

Cheers!

I am coding a site at the moment where the customer would like to place some text into the email field which means I need to set “value”, however it seems I can’t do this as there is no “value” attribute even though value=”“ shows up in the source. Anyway that this can be done?

ruud · 2008-08-07 16:51:21

There is a ‘default’ attribute, although perhaps that behaves a bit different from what you’re asking.
