Problem Adding Email Address in "Setup Emails"

mikesgroovin 16 Feb, 2009

Hey there,
First I would like to say that this is the easiest com for setting up forms on Joomla! that I've ever used. Thanks a lot for your hard work!!

I'm having a problem setting up and enabling an email in the "Setup Email" section under Form Management. Let me go through the steps I've taken:
1. Form is added under FormCode
2. General Tab "email the results" is set to "Yes" (I've tried with this set to "No" first before applying the email fields like the guide suggests too, same results)
3. I click "Setup Emails" and then click the "Add Email" button that adds a new email container
4. I add a To: then my address
5. I add a Subject:
6. I add a From Name:
7. I add a From Email:
8. Then Enabled becomes active and the container is green.
9. I click on the "Yes" Drop down to enable this email and then I click on the apply at the bottom... but nothing happens.
10. Then I try to click on the Save or Apply buttons at the top and nothing happens.
If I go back to the form management screen, it still depicts that I have 0 emails enabled. I am able to get the container green... just not able to get the form to accept and save what I have😟 Using Chrome and FireFox if that matters. Same results.

I wanted to follow the guide perfectly and am able to follow... just clicking on "Apply" or "Save" does nothing.
As an alternative solution, I can access the database and edit the "jos_chrono_contact" table if I need to. I really don't care how the email address gets in there, just need to add it so the form results actually go somewhere🙂

Thanks for reading, hope you can help🙂

Update:
I'm able to add an email container through the wizard in a totally new form that I just made (without any fields)
I just wanted to get an entry in jos_chrono_contact_emails. Then I went into the DB and changed the formid from a 2 to a 1 and then it seemed to work.

I was able to fill out random values for the form and then hit Submit. Problem is, when I get the email... it's blank!
The email contains all of the values that I set (To, From, Subject, From Name) and if I select to record the IP then my ip address shows in the email but thats it's The actual form vaules don't show up in the email. Perhaps I created the Form wrong?

This is exactly what I have in the HTML section of "form code"
I've tried with and without the HTML and BODY tags.... same results, email is blank

Hi mikesgroovin,

I'm not 100% certain that this is the cause but some of your inputs have names with spaces in them, for example

<INPUT type=checkbox value="Declaration Read And Agree" name="Declaration Read And Agree">

This is *illegal* html and will certainly cause problems somewhere down the line.

Try replacing the spaces with underscores Declaration_Read_And_Agree or I'd just simplify them declaration

You may need to recreate your table afterwards.

Hi mike,

you also need to remove the

<HTML>
<BODY>

and closing tags from your code and make sure your email has some template ?
