2 emails to be send (thank you and form) 2007/05/20 21:37 Karma: 1  
A feature that could be improved in Forme is to be able to send 2 different messages after the form is sent.

One message is the thank you message to the person who submit its data. (considering an {email} field is present).

the other is a message with the data that has being sent to the administrator.
This is useful if you want to send the form data to be processed externally (and not thru the csv file).
Or still, to someone outside the joomla site who has not an admin user to the backend.

Right now, both of this messages in the way I describe IS possible with Forme. The problem is that you cant do both. You either send a thankyou message, or feed an external "admin".

What do you think ?

Hm, so you're suggesting multiple e-mail config?

Could you give me an example where this might be useful? Most of the people(as admin) want to receive a notification, so they are ok with the Message the user receives, as long as it says who you are, etc..

Sure,

The thank you mail message:

Code:

 Hi {name}, Thank you for filling our form. We will return to you as soon as  we have an answer for your question. Thank you, The site you went to fill it up team.



Now the message sent to the staff of the site, who does not have access to the backend:

Code:

 SubjectForm {formid}



Code:

 This is the result of the submitted form: Name: {name} Last Name: {lastname} Email: {email} Submitted file: {uploadedfile} Message: {message} ----EOM----




In the latest message every field in the form is desired, so maybe a iteration loop like the styles tab would be nice like:

Code:

 This form has been submitted: {formdata} Thank you



and then:

Code:

 {fieldname} ({fieldid}): {fielddata}




So, what do you think?

Also me.

I think that we need 2 separated emails. Is this possible?

thanks

its indeed a good idea I think.

Another example is that when you use the form for a application of for instants a ADSL request then its a must that the admin gets a confirmation that there is a aplication request for that so the admin can take instant action.
