I'm trying to use Matt's Script for Form Mail submitting the form to the PERL script in the CGI BIN, but the problem is that it won't pass along the "Recipient" to the script. Can you point me to the right way to accomplish this?

<FORM style="text-align:left; background-image:url('images/ball_duo.jpg'); margin-top:10; margin-right:0; margin-bottom:10; margin-left:0; border-width:1%; border-color:rgb(102,102,102); border-style:groove;" enctype="" name="registration" target="_self">

It responds with the following:

Error: No Recipient
There was no recipient address specified in the data sent to FormMail. Please make sure you have filled in the recipient form field with an e-mail address that has been configured in either @recipient_addresses or in @recipient_domains.

I've checked the script and all applicable matters are in place. I'm just not sure how best to proceed.

Hi wolfcreek,

It's a few years since I used FormMail but if my memory is correct you set the recipient in the script configuration.

But why would you use FormMail when ChronoForms/Joomla has a perfectly good mailer built in? Just put the email address in the Email box on the Gneral tab.

I tried, but for whatever reason, it only sends the following to the recipient:

<div class="form_item">
<div class="form_element cf_dropdown"><label class="cf_label">Select A League</label><span>{select_2}</span><a class="tooltiplink" onclick="return false;"><img class="tooltipimg" src="components/com_chronocontact/css/images/tooltip.png" border="0" width="16" height="16" /></a></div>
</div>
<div class="form_item">
<div class="form_element cf_textarea"><label class="cf_label">Franchise Name</label><span>{text_3}</span><a class="tooltiplink" onclick="return false;"><img class="tooltipimg" src="components/com_chronocontact/css/images/tooltip.png" border="0" width="16" height="16" /></a></div>
</div>

He doesn't receive anything but this and needs the values, not the variables. Am I missing something? I've tried making sure all the email fields are filled out, but I've apparently been doing something wrong, or have a bad installation.

Hi wolf,

at the form edit page, turn DEBUG on, what do you get after submit ?

I didn't get a thing...but after I figured out to apply the email settings, it worked like a charm. Thanks guys.

Wolf.

Hi Wolf,

What are the email settings you changed, can you give more details for other users please ?🙂

Thanks!
