I know this topic has been in here already - but I am getting nothing from the reading through the discussions.
My form will not submit any data to the identified To recipient. I get email from other joomla pages, so I know the basic email send setup is working.
I changed the form from html to plain text. Didn't matter.
I am not trying to save the data to the db yet (I don't see any instructions on that anywhere). I don't know what table name I am to select.
I went through the tutorials that I have found. And can't seem to find anything that I am missing here.
I do get email thanking me for my submission (although that is not consistent). Some addresses get it - some don't.

Hi rweiss,
If emails are being sent from the site and, at least occasionally, from the form it sounds as though the setup is basically OK. Please will you post a screen shot of your Email Setup tab (by all means obscure any 'real' emails by changing the domain to 'example.com'
Bob
Okay here is the screen shot.

Hi Rick,
That all looks fine too . . . :-(
Off the top of my head I can't think of any reason why these emails wouldn't be delivered normally. Usually the explanation at this point is that they are in spam filters of junk folders - I guess that you've checked those?
When you turn DeBug on do you get good 'Email Sent OK' messages?
Bob
Yes - I have checked the junk folders.
Here is what debug gives me:
1. Form passed first SPAM check OK
2. Form passed the submissions limit (if enabled) OK
3. Form passed the Image verification (if enabled) OK
4. Form passed the server side validation (if enabled) OK
5. $_POST Array: Array ( [first_name] => Rick [last_name] => Weiss [email_address] => [email]rweiss@example.org[/email] [day_phone] => 602-999-9999 [evening_phone] => 928-999-9999 [contact_time] => 10 a.m. [address] => P.O. Box 624 [city] => Pine [state_province] => AZ [postal_code] => 85544 [Areas_of_Interest] => Rim Country [sales_experience] => yes [current_occupation] => Web Developer [owned_business] => yes [comments] => test [b08d440be9eec7d8d5683f1ad2648785] => 1 )
6. $_FILES Array: Array ( )
7. Form passed the plugins step (if enabled) OK
8. Debug End

Hi Rick,
Hmmm that's not reporting an email sent. Something is odd here.
If you like I'll take a quick look- PM or email me a SuperAdmin logon and the site url (won't be until tomorrow morning my time now though).
Bob
Well - I appreciate the offer. But...I accidentally deleted the form. So, I recreated it. As far as I know I did everything the same way - but this time it is working.
Go figure.
So...when you choose to have the data go to the db, it asks what table name to put the data in. What is the answer to that question?
Thanks for your quick responses!
Rick
Hi Rick,
Use the Create Table icon in the Forms Manager to setup a table, then the DB Connection tab in the Form editor to link it up.
Please check the Database tutorial in the Downloads area here for more info.
