RE: Version 2.3.4 (I dloaded 2.3.4 and installed successfully but on the components section on Joomla backend is says version 2.3.2 and dated 16.09.2007)
My question:
Is it possible to only send email to the variables entered in the Special Fields tab without also sending to the "Email Address(es)" field on the General tab?
I want to prevent the email from having 2 address in the TO: field of the email.
What I want is this:
After a form is submitted then an email goes TO "Special Fields.Email field:" and BCC "Special Fields.BCC field:".
Currently it is now doing this but also adding the address in "General.Email Address(es):" to the TO field in the email.
I do not want to disclose the additional recipient from the General tab in the TO field of the email.
Any thoughts or solutions?

Hi BandCaveMan,
Try just leaving the General tab Email Address(es) field blank. I think this should do what you want.

Thanks for the reply.
I tried leaving it blank on the general tab, but when selecting Yes for Email Results: and then saving, I get a popup msg box stating that if I choose to email results I have to add an email address on the General tab.

Hi BandCaveMan,
Ah, OK. I'll check the code and see if I can find a fix for you.

Hi BandcaveMan,
As a work-around you can edit admin.chronocontact.html.php and comment out lines 97 to 102 like this:

// do field validation
if ( (form.name.value == '') || (form.name.value.search(/ /) > -1) ) {
alert( "Please enter the form name without any spaces" );
/** START: comment out this block
} elseif ( form.emailresults.value == '2' ) {
if ( (form.extraemail.value == '') || (form.emailsubject.value == '') || (document.getElementById('paramsfrom_email').value == '') || (document.getElementById('paramsfrom_name').value == '')) {
alert( "If you choosed to email results then you must add : Email Address, Email subject, From Name and From Email" );
} else {
submitform( pressbutton );
}
END: down to here */
} else {
submitform( pressbutton );
}

Thanks Bob, I had seen that code yesterday and wondered if it could be commented out but wasn't sure of any side effects.
I'll give it a shot.
btw, ChronoForms is the best! It installed very easily, it is very easy to work with and it even sets up a table to store your data, and it has excel backup. This was exactly what I was looking for, I'm glad I found it. The developers did a great job and your help on this forum was quick and precise. Thank you!🙂

Hi BandcaveMan,
I guess the possible side effects are that someone completes the form without any addresses and you get some junk data - but that's not really any different.
Thanks for the thanks, much appreciated.

I tried your suggestion but it did not work, no email was sent out. I found a problem though. In the following code located in Chronocontact.php, the $recipient value is supposed to be substituted with a value from $paramsvalues->emailfield but instead, the $recipient array is appended with $recipient[] = $_POST[$paramsvalues->emailfield]
It should be substituted rather than appended, right?
Shouldn't the $recipient array be unset first? The way it is written here is that it will email the address(es) from the "General" tab as well as the fields(email addresses) entered in the "Special fields" tab, which is undesirable.

case 2:
default:
/**
* E-mail the results - 'Yes' custom
*/
if ( $debug) { echo "E-mail: 'Yes' custom<br />"; }
$from = $paramsvalues->from_email;
$fromname = $paramsvalues->from_name;
$subject = $rows[0]->emailsubject;
$recipient = str_replace(" ","",$rows[0]->extraemail);
$recipient = explode(",", $recipient);
if(trim($paramsvalues->ccemail)){
$ccemails = str_replace(" ","",$paramsvalues->ccemail);
$ccemails = explode(",", $ccemails);
}else{
$ccemails = NULL;
}
if(trim($paramsvalues->bccemail)){
$bccemails = str_replace(" ","",$paramsvalues->bccemail);
$bccemails = explode(",", $bccemails);
}else{
$bccemails = NULL;
}
if(trim($paramsvalues->replyto_email)){
$replyto_email = str_replace(" ","",$paramsvalues->replyto_email);

$replyto_email = NULL;

$replyto_name = str_replace(" ","",$paramsvalues->replyto_name);
$replyto_name = explode(",", $replyto_name);
}else{
$replyto_name = NULL;
}
break;
}
//$replyto = $chronocontact_params->get('replyto_email');
/**
* Substitute field values if they are set
*/
if ( trim($paramsvalues->subjectfield) != "" ) {
$subject = $_POST[$paramsvalues->subjectfield];
}
if ( trim($paramsvalues->fromemailfield) != "" ) {
$from = $_POST[$paramsvalues->fromemailfield];
}
if ( trim($paramsvalues->fromnamefield) != "" ) {
$fromname = $_POST[$paramsvalues->fromnamefield];
}
if ( trim($paramsvalues->emailfield) != "" ) {

Let me tell ya! This component is so cool! After unsetting the array it sends email only to the fields on the Special Fields tab. I just enter any email address on the General Tab just to satisfy the validation code.
It works perfect for my application. Thanks.
