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 ;-)

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.

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.

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn

Hi aslsw66,

Thanks for your willingness to help – I wonder if you are able to give me any pointers as to how to tweak the plugin to send a copy of the form to the poster?

Cheers

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn

Can someone tell me how to remove border around form along with the Contact “title”?

Thanks!

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn

Add:

fieldset,label{border:0;} to your stylesheet. If it’s what I think it is. Your description is a little vague.

;)

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn

Am still having big issues with foreign characters (Norwegian characters). Anyone know how to fix this? I get a form like this after submission:

<quote>Hvorfor vil du g&aring; p&aring; Solborg Folkeh&oslash;gskole?:?
?Jeg vil gå på Solborg Folkeh�gskole fordi dette vikrer som en veldig spennende skole å gå på. Det hadde v�rt kjekt å tilbringe et år på Solborg.Grunnen til at jeg vil gå på folkeh�gskole er bla.at jeg er litt usikker på videre utdanning. Derfor synes jeg det er bra å få inblikk i hvordan det er å f.eks jobbe med design.</quote>

Its a pretty sad sight isn’t it. You can see this: <code>Folkeh&oslash;gskole</code> Here I have to use the HTML entity “oslash” instead of just the <quote>ø</quote>. If I don’t, the form says the field or drop-down list is not filled.

When a user submits something with characters into a text field, you get the garbage weird stuff you can see above.

Hope someone knows how to fix this!

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn

In your Advanced Preferences there is this option “Use ISO-8859-1 for e-mails? (default is utf-8)”. I notice that your setting for that preference is called by the plug-in. I wonder if that might be something to look at. Not that I’m suggesting that I understand what I’m talking about you understand?

Re: Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn

Thanks Stuart. I am not clear what changing the default from UTF-8 to ISO-8859-1 would do? Both should be fine for Norwegian characters aren’t they?

I remember in the original thread of zem_contact that many others had encountered problems with non-english characters.

Later today I will test the change of UTF to ISO and see what happens.
