I created a template for a form to be sent by email. I am able to display the form but I don’t receive any emails. Below is the code for the template.

 

I tried with the hidden field MailSendTo and without it but I never receive anything by mail….
I also changed the email address to mine for the administrator.
I also enabled the form process in site.ini

Would you know if there is anything else I should look at?

 

Thank you

 

Simon

Hi Simon, it looks like you are trying to create a static form, have you considered creating a new content class via "admin -> setup -> classes".

If you create your form as a content class you can then use Exponential's built in information collection features.

If you are new to Exponential you should have a look at the docs, there is a lot of info in there that will save some frustration.

I suggest you look at:

http://ez.no/doc
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/concepts_and_basics/content_management/class_attributes
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/concepts_and_basics/content_management/information_collection
http://ez.no/doc/ez_publish/technical_manual/3_6/reference/content_classes/content/feedback_form

Also look at some of the pre-made templates to see how they work, the main ones you should need to look at are lacated in:
<b>
"/design/base/override/templates/full/feedback_form.tpl"
"/design/base/override/templates/collectedinfomail/feedback_form.tpl"
</b>
Have a look at that, if you still have any questions I'll see what I can do.

Cheers!

Pardon me while I burst into flames...
