A couple of how to's.....

Hi there

Chronoforms newbie here 🙂

I have been scouring the forums, and cannot come up with definitive answers to what I am trying to do.

I am using Joomla 1.5.6, anc Chronoforms V2.5 RC3.1

I am trying to create a basic contact form, with a html email template.

Form code
Enter Your Name :<br> 
<input name="name" type="text" value="" size="40">
<p>
E-mail Address:<br> 
<input name="email" type="text" value="" size="40">
<p>Enquiry Type:<br>
  <select name="enquiry" id="enquiry">
    <option value="General Enquiry">General Enquiry</option>
    <option value="Web Design Enquiry">Web Design Enquiry</option>
    <option value="E-Commerce Enquiry">E-Commerce Enquiry</option>
    <option value="Virtual Assistant Enquiry">Virtual Assistant Enquiry</option>
  </select>
<p>Message Subject:<br>
<input name="subject" type="text" id="subject" size="40">
<p>Your Message:<br>
<textarea name="message" cols="60" rows="8" id="message"></textarea> 
<p>
{imageverification} 
  <input name="submit" value="Submit" type="submit">


HTML email template code

<table width="60%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0">
  <tr>
    <td width="20%"><strong>Contact Name:</strong></td>
    <td width="80%">{name}</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><strong>Email:</strong></td>
    <td>{email}</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><strong>Enquiry Type: </strong></td>
    <td>{enquiry}</td>
  </tr>
  <tr>
    <td><strong>Message</strong></td>
    <td>{message}</td>
  </tr>
</table>


Question 1:
I want to use the field "enquiry" as the subject field of the email. How do I do this, step by step please?

Question 2:
I would like people to have the option of being able to email a copy to themselves. I have tried following several threads on here on how to do this, with no success. Could someone please help with a step by step instruction?

I think that is it at the moment.

Thanks in advance

Cheers
Danielle

Welcome Danielle,

#1- add the field name which is "enquiry" to the "subject field" field in the special fields tab.

#2- add "email" which is your email field name at the "email field" field in the same special fields tab
