Hi everybody,

i'm using Joomla 1.5 and Chronoforms v.Chrono Contact 3.0 STable

I want the Forms to be send as normal Text-Mails. Everything is right so far...but I get no line-breaks between the txt - variables in the email, just in the transfered text ("MESSAGE" for example).

My form-template looks like this:
TITLE='{select_0}';
COMPANY='{text_0}';
NAME='{text_2}';
MESSAGE='{text_3}';

...Email Clients show it like this:
TITLE=Sir; COMPANY=Test; NAME=Beni; Message=Here i
get
line
breaks;

...but I need the email to look like this:
TITLE=Sir;
COMPANY=Test;
NAME=Beni;
Message=Here i may get line breaks, too;

I need this breaks, cause i want to transfer the personal data from the contact-form to the intern databank of the real-estate software FlowFact.

Is there somebody, who can help me?!

Hi Beni,

so this is plain text emails ?

Max

Hi,
...yes, email format is plain text!

Hi Beni,

I will check the problem before the coming release which will be out very soon!

Hi Max,
...great to hear! It would be sooo nice, if you could fix that! ...i definately want to use chronoforms, it's the still the best form component for joomla! ...and this little feature keeps me away from finishing my project...

Thanks so far....
Beni

Hi beni,

Have you tried the new release? I know Max was trying to implement this.

I just tried 3.1 RC5...and it's still not working...unfortunately....

Can u give me some advise...or an interim solution?

Beni

Hi Beni,

I fixed this for HTML emails, so if you are using a text area and multiple lines then you get multiple lines in the HTML email too!

I think that you need to disable the email template editor and format your template without the editor ? did you try this ?

Hi Max,
nope i didn't....but sounds if that could fix my problem! ...unfortunately i don't know how to do that...can you give me some advice for that? or are there already tutorials about it?

Beni

Hi Beni,

In the Email Setup there's a switch in the Properties box (make sure that you have the Email box selected but not any fields inside it). Set 'Use Template Editor' to NO.
