CF7 Mail Content-Type - send email using PHP

asitun 16 Jan, 2024
Hello,
I'm using Chronoforms 7 with Joomla 5.0.2.

I can't find any switch for sending mails as content-type text/plain. All mails sended as html.

I tried admin mail, user mail and advanced form mail, with any option to switch.

It's important for me to send mails as text/plain.

Any solution for this goal?

Thank's.

a switch to send email in text mode has not been added because almost everyone uses html emails, if this is a must for you then you can send an email using PHP code:

// Assuming you are inside a Joomla component or module

// Load Joomla's mail library
jimport('joomla.mail.mail');

// Recipient details
$recipient = 'user@domain.com';

// Subject of the email
$subject = 'Your Email Subject';

// Message body in plain text
$body = 'Hello,

This is a plain text email message.

Regards,
Your Name';

// Instantiate the Joomla mail object
$mail = JFactory::getMailer();

// Set sender
$mail->setSender(array("from@domain.com", "from name"));

// Add a recipient
$mail->addRecipient($recipient);

// Set subject
$mail->setSubject($subject);

// Set the body of the email
$mail->setBody($body);

// Set the email format to plain text
$mail->IsHTML(false);

// Send the email
$sent = $mail->Send();

if ($sent !== true) {
    // The email failed to send
    JFactory::getApplication()->enqueueMessage('Error sending email: ' . $sent, 'error');
} else {
    // The email was sent successfully
    JFactory::getApplication()->enqueueMessage('Email sent successfully', 'message');
}



change the values as you need, you can get the value of any form field using:
$this->data("field_name")
