var_dump($_POST) comes up as an empty array, which makes me think the form doesn’t submit at all. :/

That would be my prognosis too, especially since direct sending via the mail() function worked.

A few further things you can try:

Look in your Textpattern Admin->Diagnostics panel for any warnings that might have an impact.
Check your server for any error_log files that might have been generated as a by-product of the send process.
Nose around your server configuration / php.ini. I’ve seen it before where something like suhosinwas enabled on the host and it was trashing POST data (though that thread is specific to long post data streams and yours isn’t exactly gargantuan, it might be worth checking anyway). phpinfo() can be a potential mine of information in these situations.
Set up any bog-standard HTML form with a single <input name="some-test" /> tag and a submit button on a Page/Form. If you set the <form> tag with action="" so it submits to the same page and stuff the <txp:php>dmp($_POST);</txp:php> at the top of the same Page/Form, that’ll tell you if your server is stripping POST data somewhere along the line. If that’s fine, it’s likely something with the plugin or its setup so you can go back to basics, with just a single input and see if that gets sent, then build up from there.

Short of that, I’m fresh out of ideas at the moment, sorry.

After moving sites from TextDrive to a Gandi VPS recently I found out Textpattern could not send user mails and the contact forms (ZCR) didn’t work either. Turns out I had to install/enable Postfix on the VPS. Probably not related to your problem, but might be helpful to someone else especially now that TXD is going down the drain.

I don’t use TXD nor VPS, I’m starting from scratch. Thanks for the suggestion though, maybe someone else has that problem. :)

I found no warnings except some notice which PHP functions have been turned off on my server. The functions are: escapeshellcmd, proc_close, proc_nice, proc_get_status, proc_terminate, readlink, pfsockopen, openlog, syslog, putenv, pcntl_exec, pcntl_fork, pcntl_signal, pcntl_waitpid, pcntl_wexitstatus, pcntl_wifexited, pcntl_wifsignaled, pcntl_wifstopped, pcntl_wstopsig, pcntl_wtermsig, socket_accept, socket_bind, socket_create, socket_create_listen, socket_listen, socket_create_pair

I can attach the whole diagnostic log if needed.

I’ve had no problems with using forms on my website before (was using WebsiteBaker for a long time, then Wordpress). My site has been online for over 4 years.

Set up any bog-standard HTML form with a single <input name="some-test" /> tag and a submit button on a Page/Form. If you set the <form> tag with action="" so it submits to the same page and stuff the <txp:php>dmp($_POST);</txp:php> at the top of the same Page/Form, that’ll tell you if your server is stripping POST data somewhere along the line. If that’s fine, it’s likely something with the plugin or its setup so you can go back to basics, with just a single input and see if that gets sent, then build up from there.

I’ve tried inserting this HTML form into my form:

<pre><txp:php>var_dump($_POST); echo $_POST['text'];</txp:php></pre>   
    <form action="" method="post">
      <input type="text" name="text" />
      <input type="submit"/>
    </form>

$_POST was still empty. I had a sudden brainwave and decided to scrape my htaccess. That somehow solved it. :D Thank you everyone for your help! :)

how do we prevent the insertion of html in the Contact Message form? We are starting to get spam via the form

I have a form returning a ‘Sorry, unable to send email’ message for me in the UK and a friend in Spain, but when I use a proxy server (kproxy.com) the form works OK. The hosting provider says server logs show “no error message or any trouble” and suggest it is something connected with the script. I’m doubtful but can anyone suggest a way forward, please?

This Txp tag is in an article: <txp:output_form form="form_deelname" />

This is the form:

<txp:zem_contact to="some@emailadres.nl" label="Ja, ik wil graag deelnemen aan deze activiteit" copysender="1" thanks="Het bericht is verstuurd. Dank u!" subject="form_deelname">
<txp:zem_contact_secret value="<txp:custom_field name="activiteit" />" />
<txp:zem_contact_text label="Naam:" />
<txp:zem_contact_email label="E-mailadres:" />
<txp:zem_contact_submit label="">Verzenden</txp:zem_contact_submit>
</txp:zem_contact>

This is the page > living-heart.nl/test (form is at the end of the article)

In Txp the custom_field ‘activiteit’ of that article says ‘geld en werk’.

Is <txp:zem_contact_secret value="<txp:custom_field name="activiteit" />" /> working?

No … it doesn’t. What is it I’m doing wrong?

els · 2014-05-10 20:15:48

Mind your quotes ;)

<txp:zem_contact_secret value='<txp:custom_field name="activiteit" />' />

<txp:zem_contact_submit label="">Verzenden</txp:zem_contact_submit>
</txp:zem_contact>

… is rendered as > screendump

Is it possible to put <txp:custom_field name="activiteit" /> always on a new line? How?

You could try something like

<txp:rah_replace from=":" to=":<br/>">
<txp:zem_contact to="info@example.com" label='Ja, ik wil graag deelnemen aan:<txp:custom_field name="activiteit" />' copysender="1" thanks="Het bericht is verstuurd. Dank u!" subject="form_deelname">
<txp:hide><txp:zem_contact_text label="Omschrijving:" /></txp:hide>
<txp:zem_contact_secret label="Activiteit" value='<txp:custom_field name="activiteit" />' />
<txp:zem_contact_text label="Mijn naam is ..." />
<txp:zem_contact_email label="Mijn e-mailadres is ..." />
<txp:zem_contact_submit label="">Verzenden</txp:zem_contact_submit>
</txp:zem_contact>
</txp:rah_replace>

Uli, super … thanks!

Is it possible to send the output of a contact form to 2 email addresses simultaneously?
