com_connect - form and contact mailer

It seems that it is working as we did not receive any spam since I installed it.

That’s automated spam, I take it.

Well, pap_cleaner seems like a must-have plugin then if one is going to use comm_connect at all. Stef will probably combine the two at some point, or rewire something similar. A mail form isn’t much good if it’s filling up your inbox full of spam. Might as well just put a raw email address online.

Or better yet. Just never be reachable by any contact at all. Period.

(But were enslaved to the money that being contactable potentially makes available… And to the laws that require being contactable.)

totally agree! spam is gone since i installed it.

i hope stef will do something with the file sending issue i described here
i just don’t receive files… am i only one?

Yes, pap_cleaner (pap_comconnect) is a must have unfortunately. I have one smallish issue with it in that it uses inline style (style="visibility:hidden" on the wrapper @<div />), which makes browsers throw a fit when you use a very strict CSP. But that is easy to fix, by either 1/ loosen slightly the CSP to allow inline style or generate a hash for that inline style snippet, or 2/ modify the plugin to use a class instead.

Gallex: Sorry for the delay. Try v1.0.1 and see if it fixes the file upload issue. It works for me with smallish limits, haven’t tried anything massive yet.

Hi Stef,

We are about to publish a call for entries and this extension would be excellent for us.

I noticed from Gallex’s post that the way to use it is <txp:com_connect_file label="Send file" max="8000000" /> but is there a way to restrict the file types to .doc, .docx, and .pdf?

>Edit: Also after a quick test, trying to send a small 18Kb jpg, returned the error Send file must not exceed 8000000..

Restricting file uploads? What are you, Axel Voss? ?

You can use the accept attribute but it’ll only offer users a filter for those types – they can still use “All files” from the native file picker so you’ll need to sanitize the file extensions or (better) MIME type programmatically on reception.

trying to send a small 18Kb jpg, returned the error Send file must not exceed 8000000..

Drat, what is causing that? It always seems to work when I try it. Must be something I’m missing with some server setups or I’m just making an assumption in the code that is causing it to fall over. Annoying.

I can give you access to my site if you want to test it in another environment… I think you have one… unless of course you forgot your pw.

Thanks, I’ve logged in.

Incidentally, how to use the accept attribute: stackoverflow.com/a/23706177

On my own server, I’ve cloned your contact form (changed only the to address) and it successfully sent me a 128KB Word doc, except my email program thought it was 0 bytes long. Looking at the raw message, the entire mail and attachment are there, encoded, so I guess the headers or boundary tags are screwed up a bit which means mail programs get the wrong info.

When I’ve debugged that so I can successfully receive an email with an attachment, I’ll transfer that plugin to your site and then see if I can replicate the erroneous ‘exceeded file size’ issue there.

Bloke · 2018-09-13 14:21:23

Yiannis, try that. I’ve sent a test file and it went through.

I’ll issue a new release imminently.

hey magic keyboard… Whatever you did, it is working now. Thanks so much!

:) Cool. If you want the official version, including correct version number and docs, then download it and install it over your hacked copy.

It was simply not submitting the file at all because the jQuery code I’d used to inject the multipart/form-data wasn’t running if you didn’t load jQuery on the public site. Stupid/lazy assumption on my part. Then, the check for “is file size correct” also did a check for “is there a file at all” and when it couldn’t find the file, threw the (incorrect) message which was what confused everybody.

jQuery is no longer a requirement as it does the injection via raw JavaScript. With the latest version of the com_connect plugin it might be able to be done via a callback, but I can’t remember how flexible I made it. ~~I’ll check one day.~~ Just checked: the callback is only for inserting additional form elements into the <form> body not for injecting header attributes. Bah!

just installed the official one…. I’ll be checking it tomorrow as my brain is currently mushy after a long day on the CAD programme.

Hi,

I have set up the com_connect plugin in a website that was built some 6 years ago, replacing zem_contact. There are no issues with the transition but…

Although the plugin ”seems” to successfully send out the messages through the forms I have in the website it does not arrive at the email account I have provided for it.

Any thoughts on what I might look for to solve this?
