Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
Squirrelmail doesn’t use mail(), it uses smtp/imap.
Another possibility is a spam filter is grabbing them. Does your host implement anything like that?

yes, but it forwards them to me with [Spam] prepended to the subject line.

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
I think you should start with getting an email off to your host and find out if they have mail() enabled or not.

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
1beb, with the old Zem plugin, some people were having the same symptoms. The answer was to check the endlines character(s) used on the email headers, and edit them to unix behaviour.
Check for $headers, and how each line is ended. If it’s \r\n edit it to \n only. Be careful, only the headers. Not the body of the email (where \r\n is legal).

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
That’s already been fixed.

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
I’m going to contact my host, because after a couple of test runs with mail() and imap_mail() it doesn’t seem that anything wants to work. Thanks for the pointers, All.

Regarding adding aslsw66’s mailto select list from this thread
thebombsite said:
Well just looking at it it would seem to be a separate function so I will see if I can add it in without messing anything else up.
EDIT.
The new plug-in has “zem_contact_select” which I believe is the same thing.
I believe “zem_contact_select” acts like a normal select dropdown. Whereas aslsw66’s “zem_contact_select_mailto” acts like a normal select dropdown except that it also lets you set an email address for each select option and mails the form to that selected email on submit.
I routinely setup contact forms for sites with 3-5 different departments each with their own email address and would hate to lose this addition to zem_contact.

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
Yes, I was incorrect in my assumption on the other thread however, having looked at the zem_contact_select_mailto function it would appear that it requires major changes to the zem_contact function in order to work which I am simply unqualified to do at this time so I am unable to add it into the plug-in. If someone else were able to do the re-coding I would be happy to add it in and do the “help” text otherwise my only advice at this time is to use aslsw66’s original code though you will have to use ALL of it and not try a “mix and match”.

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
Forgive me if this information already exists somewhere – a search wasn’t very fruitful!
It is possible/easy to set up the reborn zem_contact form to send a copy of the submitted email to the poster as well as the intended recipient?
Thanks!

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
BUMP… Anyone any idea on this?
Stuart – any thoughts?

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
And the international issues with foreign characters? Anything with that? Maybe Christmas celebrations have been taking precedence, quite rightly so ;-)

Quite correct! I’ll be patient… ;-)

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
More a case of not having a working PC for a week!
As I mentioned when I created the plug-in I’m not a coder. If any advances are to be made to this version it will require the coding services of the community and I will be quite happy to include any new code and sort the Help text out so as to keep the plug-in as up-to-date as possible.

So… any coders out there?

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
I see my name cropping up in various conversations around this plugin, particularly about having multiple email addresses to select from. Rather than me rushing out and fixing the work that has already been done, here’s my description of how to implement the functionality for someone (Stuart? Mary?) to include in the latest version:
- tag functionality is pretty straightforward ie. getting the select box to appear, handling the multiple email addresses, return the selected email address,
- where my functionality ‘disrupts’ the normal plugin code is in handling the returned email address. Zem’s original plugin checked the existence of the email address in the tag and then went about its business. In my version, because the email address is only returned after the whole form is processed, I moved the checking function to later on.
I’m happy to explain this in more detail to anyone who wants to pick it up and incorporate it into the reborn version of zem_contact.
Anyone interested?
PS. Huge break for me over Christmas, no internet access whatsoever, new laptop should relieve some of the computing pressures in the household, I may have missed further discussions around zem_contact.
