Need a custom form for collecting user data and send in Email..

Greetings All! I need to collect user data from a form. There are several fields like title, forename, email, activities, airport pickup and many more. with dropdown filed, check box, radio button etc .

I wish to do is:
Let user fill those data on form in website and send those data to Website Owner Email. Is there plugin for such custom form? Also, I wish to add a calender next to related field. If you know idea on this, Could you please share.

Thank you for your help in advance.

Re: Need a custom form for collecting user data and send in Email..

And here are a few examples of how zem_contact_reborn can be used.

As for a small calendar, I couldn’t find a plugin that works. Is anyone using a mini calendar that works in 4.0.6?

Re: Need a custom form for collecting user data and send in Email..

Greetings All! I am stuck on this. It shows message has been sent but actually I don’t receive email when checked mail box. What is missing? I don’t know. I use textpattern version 4.0.6 and installed both the plugins zem_contact_lang 4.0.3.6 & zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20

I have directly used the tag on article. The tags shown below.

<txp:zem_contact to="test@example.com" subject="Message from test" label="" >
         <txp:zem_contact_select label="Title" list=",Mr.,Mrs.,Ms." /><br />
	<txp:zem_contact_text label="Last Name"  min="2" break=""/><br/>
	<txp:zem_contact_text label="First name" required="no" break=""/><br/>
	<txp:zem_contact_email required="no" break=""/><br/>
<txp:zem_contact_textarea label="Message" break="" cols="60"/><br/>
	<txp:zem_contact_submit><strong>Send</strong> Message</txp:zem_contact_submit>
</txp:zem_contact>

Thank you for your help.

Re: Need a custom form for collecting user data and send in Email..

Are you building the site on a local install (XAMPP/WAMP/MAMP), not on a web server?

Hi Sheru,

MAMP won’t mail for you, I’m using it, too (see mailing author passwords). Once you have your final webspace running, try it with that one, if necessary on a “secret” section, so your untested mailing form won’t be accessible.

Greetings Uli! Thank you so much for your kind help and prompt response. I will check the mailing on running webspace. Hope this will help me.
One Question. Is there plugin for using mini calendar next to related field? As I am intending to collect user data form(It has several fields such as airport pickup) and send it to owner’s email.

Thank you a lot for your kind help

MAMP won’t mail for you…

Try setting up Postfix (may need the MAMP PRO pane).
