email enable

Hi I know there have been many topics on this but...

I read the tutorial and tried creating a form using the wizzard and plain copying of the form code but in both cases the container doas NOT turn green after putting the required containers
-to
-subject
-from name
-from email

what to do? (latest version)

I just version 2.5 before that worked fine exept for the make the selection on radiobuttons there it kept saying make selection while a selection was made.

And of course this happens when you REALLY need it to be up and running I really cannot think of what it is that is wrong!!!!😟

HI c10,

Sounds as though you missed out the two enable steps - they are both in the tutorial I think. You need to enable in the Email Properties and then set Send Emails to On in the General Tab.

No I was even dumber...
I needed to drag all elements in that 1 red container and not create 4 seperate containers.....

Now I keep having the same problem as in 2.5 The group of radio buttons.
1 choice is required so at validation I have filled out
sexe: (choice male or female)

And at 12- validate-one-required: sexe

Now it always wants male if I click female it keeps saying choice required untill I choose male.

With another group of radiobuttons the same problem.
Would it be possible to use a pulldownlist and require a choice there?
This never worked for me before probably because the first option that says make a choice already is "a choice"?

yes, you need to add the first option with no value, if you are making this with the wizard then you will need to edit the form code, I will fix this in the new version!

Hi c10,

Please see this post which has a modified working version of 'Validate one required'.

PERFECT this did the trick!!! so this only leaves me with male/female radiobuttons wich i am gonna try to solve with the other require one solution.
This list saves a lot of work, it would have been 10 different radiobuttons otherwise.

Thanx a lot! :mrgreen:
