Re: [outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form

I’ve got this working perfectly on one site. Using the exact same code on another site, and it’s not working. All it tells me is “Unable to send mail.”

Why would this be happening? Might it have something to do with the server? The one that works is on a linux machine. The other is one (I think) a Windows server.

Ideas?

Re: [outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form

theturninggate,

I had the same problem over and over and was tearing my hair out over it. To my knowledge I counldnt get this working no matter what on php as cgi, and I had to come up with another solution on a customers site that ran on a windows server, I just finally gave up. There was an impenetrable problem with “posting” to index.php.

Re: [outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form

Hello. This is a fantastic plugin. Very easy to implement for those non-programmers like myself. :)

However, I’m having a bit of a problem. I currently use the form without a problem on my contact page .

I’m trying to setup an online quote form, but I get the following error message after filling everything out:

‘on’ is not a valid email address

No matter what email I type in, I get that message. After re-typing it a few times, the form eventually goes through, but when I get the email the only thing is says is:

email: Yes

rather then giving me the actual address. This also occasionally happens with the ‘Phone’ field.

Any idea what I’m doing wrong?? I’ve set it up the exact way I set up my contact form so I can’t figure out why it isn’t working when every other field is.

Also, is there a way to make the form remember checked values and drop-down list selections when the person forgets to fill in a required value?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Re: [outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form

Ok here’s a question about the messages the form generates:

I have a contact form that sits in a collapsible area of the page. most of the time it’s hidden, but when you click contact us, it reveals. Works great except…

Errors/Thank you messages get loaded into the collapsed area and when the page is refreshed, they’re hidden.

Is there an easy way to have the messages appear in:

  1. a popup window
  2. an alert
  3. a different part of the page

Thanks in Advance.

BTW: doesn’t look like the forum want’s me+textile to make an ordered list, curious.

A different part of the page, Yes. It’s in the documentation.

I’d like some more specific instructions if anyone can help. I get the following messages when I try to follow the docs instructions.

No mailto address specified

Re: [outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form

I know Zem is very busy, but maybe someone else can show me a way to do this:
I’m using zem_contact on three different pages, in three different languages. What I would like to do is to display the error messages in the appropriate language.

There is one way I can think of and that is to copy the plugin, rename it to zem_contactnl or something like that and modify the error messages text in the plugin code. But I don’t know if I would have to rename all functions to make it work, or if it even might not work at all.
(EDIT: as was to be expected, can’t get this to work)

As you understand, I hardly know anything about php…

Re: [outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form

I had to switch my doctype to XHTML 1.0 transitional on my contact page to get it to validate. Anyone know how to get Zem_contact to output to XHTML 1.0 strict?

Re: [outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form

Ditto!!! I really don’t like to have to use a transitional doc type and if anyone figures this one out let me know.


To even the least of these…
