Changing the from/reply to e-mail address?

rebelshawn 29 Oct, 2008
Hi,

I'm trying to setup a chronoform. On submission I want the form to replace the from/reply to e-mail with the e-mail from the form that was filled out.

<input type="text" name="email" />


Given that code as the e-mail's input how do I go about getting it into the chronoform before it sends so that when I open it in outlook and hit reply it pulls out the e-mail address that was submitted in the input field.

How do I do this?

Thank you so much!

Hi Shawn,

Dynamic From Email in your setup email and write inside it : email

Max,

Wow, thanks for the quick response! I forgot to mention I'm using chronoforms 1.0...we haven't made the jump to Joomla 1.5 yet. I'm unable to locate the dynamic from e-mail. The closest thing I have is special fields and I've tried setting the "from e-mail" to "email." Any input? Thanks again in advance!

Hi Shawn, yes, setting from email in special fields tab to email should work
