I was talking to Max in email. He said to post here so I am posting here.

To be clear, there are multiple forms on this site, so hacking the component to ignore the primary Email Address(es) field on the General tab is probably not a good idea.

Our 'Tell A Friend' form looks like this:

Subject:
Friends name:
Friends e-mail:
Your name:
Your e-mail:
Short message:

When I turned off the Email the results in the General tab and didn't enter an email address I never got an email to the Friends e-mail field. It won't let me set Email the results to Yes and not enter an email in the Email Address(es) field on the General tab.

I am not sure if maybe I just didn't do it right or what but what I was trying to do is have it so it only sends to the Friends e-mail field which I added into the Special Fields tab.

Another thing I am thinking about that I can't figure out how to do is the possibility of sending it to both emails. For example the form would have a check box that says 'Send a copy of this to myself'. Is there a way to do that? Or would I have to code some php and use Joomla functions?

Thanks,

Ryan

When in Joomla 1.5 and sef mode enabled I also had to hack the actionurl in the frontend files chronocontact.html.php to add the Joomla root or it gave an error: No input file specified.

Code: Select all

$actionurl = JURI::root().'index.php?option=com_chronocontact&task=send&chronoformname='.$rows[0]->name;


So that form seems to work good enough for now at least :)

Not too worried about the send to another email thing then.

Thanks.
