Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
No, I haven’t been actually. I’ve got a whole bunch of spam comments that I didn’t moderate due to not receiving the mail. The option is set in TxP Admin Area, yet, I do not receive mail. Damnit. Any thoughts on what’s borked?

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
Your host might have turned that function off. Who’s your host?

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn
newista.com… would php info() be helpful in this situation? Is there any way to test? I use Squirrelmail and that works fine ( that uses mail() heavily doesn’t it? )

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!
