[outdated] zem_contact, flexible mailto form

zem · 2005-06-01 08:22:55

No mailto address specified

RTFM.

There was an impenetrable problem with “posting” to index.php.

Can you elaborate?

Hello Zem and others,
I’m trying to find a way to send the content of one of the custom fields (custom_1) through zem_contact together with the message content but hidden for the user. A nice way to do that is by inserting it in the subject of the email where the sitename is written. The subject line is created by this line of code:

$r = mail($mailto, "Email enquiry for $sitename", $msg, $headers);

If I could insert the content of custom_1 instead of $sitename it would be great. Having not more than very basic php knowledge I’m a bit lost. How should I do that? Either by adding some lines to the plugin code which I have to translate anyway or with a clever way to insert <txp:custom_field name="my_field_name" /> somewhere.
I’m using rev. 395

Hello Zem,

I have one question regarding this plugin.

I have two different e-mail adresses eg.

x@home.nl for the webmaster
x@tref.nl for the penningmeester.

What i want is that visitors can mail to me or the penningmeester.

If a do a <code> <txp:zem_contact_select list=“Webmaster,Penningmeester”><code>
then the plugin doesn’t know the e-mail adresses.

But when i do a
<code>
<txp:zem_contact_select list=“x.home.nl,x.tref.nl”>
</code>

Then the visitor doesn’t know which person it is.

How can i solve this or is this impossible in your plugin.

Nobody to help me

@ Relof

Would it be easier to simply have two contact forms.

Contact the webmaster

Contact Penningmeester

And have two articles (you can use this in an article), one for each adress.

Not exactly what you want, but will do what you need without hacking on the code.

I would also like to have functionality like roelof suggested.

I have a site that has about 10 different departments. I would like 1 contact form and a dropdown list that lets the visitor choose what department they want to send the email to.

This seems like common functionality on many sites and I use it on most of my client sites. It is very rare that when I am creating a site for a client that there is only 1 email.

Thanks for the help.

Having a problem here. This is the tag I am using: <code><txp:zem_contact mailto=“something@something.com” form=“contact_form” /></code> which is fine except for one thing; the form attribute doesn’t get parsed. The only thing that is ouput is the name of the form as text. So where a contact form should be, there is only, contact_form.

tinyfly · 2005-06-16 21:07:09

Also, Using <code><txp:zem_contact_select /></code> gives me an “uknown option” error. If I use the attributes or not I still get the same error “unknown ‘whatever I have labeld the list’”

Anybody else have these problems?

tinyfly · 2005-06-23 20:25:33

(bump) Any Ideas on the error stated above?

User61 · 2005-06-24 03:55:18

Hmm. My contact form page wouldn’t validate. The reason being <code><txp:zem_contact_checkbox /></code> outputs <br /><br /> <code><input type=“checkbox”></code> without closing it.

Great plugin but I would’ve like it better if there’s more freedom to style/change some of the X/HTML output (especially the <code><b> </b></code> part :) But still a great plugin!

I get the same problem as tinyfly, i.e. the form attribute doesn’t get parsed.
