Email Web Form Data in Plain Text?

Hi Folks,

I was wondering if there is any way that I can send the form data in plain text? I am sending the form data to an email address that gets polled by our CRM software and it parses the fields that I specify... Now.. I have managed to parse the data but the actual email that is recorded on the system looks a mess with all the HTML tags.. Is there any way that I can change the email to plain text? Is there any javascript i could use that could do this on submit? I really want to use chronoforms for this as all my other webforms are built using it and i like the validation 🙂

Hope someone can help!

Cheers

Hi Mista,

There is a plain text option for emails at V3.0 stable!

Hey Admin,

I use Mambo 4.6.2 and I think I use the J 1.0 version, it works fine....

Cant see a version 3 for J 1.0 so tried the J 1.5 version on my dev site and of course it didnt install 😟

I know I should really change to Joomla but I tried that a while a go and the conversion process was a nightmare and didnt work in the end....

Is there any way I can encorperate this feature on the version that I have? 😟

Hi Mista,

Of course you need to go up to Joomla 1.5, however if your emails are fine to be in plain text then I think you can do this by editing chronocontact.php , you will find some html tags added to the html_message variable, you will need to clean all this carefully and find the mosMail line and change true to false inside it!

Hi Admin,

Is there any way that I can set this for one form? Could I change the from code to look at chronocontact1.php (an edited version) rather than the origional one, I have other forms that I want to keep using HTML with 😟

Sorry... I know i'm being fussy but if I could get it working this way I would be really happy 😀

I understand, but unfortunately no, with your Chronoforms version this is not possible!

Cheers,
