Dynamic TO / CC

Try as I might, I have been unable to get any of the "Dynamic" email options to work. My field name is {email} and I have tried typing both {email} and "email" (without the quotes) into the Dynamic TO text box, but nothing happens. All I really want to do is inform the person submitting the form that their submission has been received.

Hi David,

What about using just a normal "TO" with your email address, does it work ? if so then are you sure that the email address field name is "email" ? you should use it without brackets or quotes btw!

Hi David,

To diagnose this please turn DeBug on in the form General tab then take a screen shot of the Debug info that appears after you submit the form and post it here.

Here it is. Not a screen shot, but a text capture (my form is really long, so I didn't want you to have to screen through all of it).

From the display of the email message that will be sent, this is at the header:

From: Digital Pro Server [noreply@digitalproinc.com]
To: sales@aboutimage.com
CC: simpsond@famonline.org
BCC: 
Subject: Estimate Request Received

And here is the debug info, below:

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 ( [radio0] => New Customer [radio1] => Estimate Request [customer_name] => David Simpson [company] => Aboutimage Design & Photography [address] => PO Box 210032 [city_state_zip] => CA [country] => USA [phone] => 619-482-9630 [fax] => 858-482-9630 [email_address] => simpsond@famonline.org [preferred_response] => [quantity_1] => [quantity_2] => [quantity_4] => [project_name] => David Simpson [due_date] => [job_type] => [project_type] => [size] => [finished_size] => [ink] => [pms_colors] => [coating] => [bleed] => [paper_stock] => [finishing_binding] => [comments] => [button_29] => Submit [5233fe1e2efb07bc9a6edc65bdfb9469] => 1 )
6. $_FILES Array: Array ( )
7. Form passed the plugins step (if enabled) OK
8. An email has been SENT successfully from (Digital Pro Server)noreply@digitalproinc.com to sales@aboutimage.com
9. Debug End

A couple notes:
1) I changed the email field name from [email] to [email_address]
2) I tried both the Dynamic and non-Dynamic CC with the same result.
3) The interesting thing, is that the CC actually shows up in the header, but the email only gets sent to the TO addressee.

Hi David,

if the problem is the CC then you need to change the Joomla mail method in the global config to SMTP or sendmail

You, sir, are a genius!!! I set it to SMTP mail and it worked like a champ. 😀 😀 😀 😀 😀
