Debug mode ON but NO dummy email...

pippofresta 01 Feb, 2011
Hi,
this the first time I try to create forms with cronoforms.
I have NO Problem with form creation and publish but now it's time to check the final result and I need to send emails.
Now I'm working on windows apache localhost and I don't know how to configure joomla to send emails but this is another question..

The problem is exactely what subject says: Debug mode ON but NO dummy email...
I have read the chronoForms email tutorial and everythings seems to be ok.

thi is my debug stream:

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 ( [text_2] => s [text_4] => [text_10] => [text_12] => [date_6] => [text_7] => [text_14] => [text_16] => [text_19] => [text_22] => [text_17] => [text_18] => [text_20] => s [text_21] => [chrono_verification] => Rg93h [button_23] => Invia [check2] => Array ( [0] => Ho letto attentamente l'informativa Privacy ai sensi dell'ART.13 del D.LGS. 196/2003 ) [12b150d014a0251282e10b24ded04338] => 1 [1cf1] => 63c1837b7a5e030e57ba94de16b254c0 [chronoformname] => richiesta_iscrizione )
6. $_FILES Array: Array ( )
7. Form passed the plugins step (if enabled) OK

Why my joomla doesn't generate email debug ???

Hi pippofresta,

Please check the following - especially a to e:

a) That 'Send Emails' is set to 'Yes' on the Form General tab

b) That you have a valid Email Setup - if the box is green it's valid, red is invalid (see d below)

c) That you have set 'Enabled' to 'Yes' in the Email Setup Properties box

d) A valid Email Setup requires To, Subject, From Name and From Email elements (or the Dynamic equivalents) in the *same* setup box.

e) The element boxes must contain strings for the static elements or valid input names from the form for the Dynamic elements.

f) The To and From Email boxes must contain valid email addresses

g) The From Email address should match the Domain name.

h) The To email address should not be the same as the From Email address.

Hi Bob,
as I had already said I have read the tutorial and then I'm sure I have done, from a to h, all things correctly.
I have only a doubt:
You say: The From Email address should match the Domain name.

I'm working at apache localhost and my domain is like "http://localhost/mydomain.xxx/"
Then I suppose correct email address is [email]pippofresta@mydomain.xxx[/email] or pippofresta@localhost, right?

But I have the same problem.

Thanks.

Hi pippofresta,

If you are on local test server host then the domain name probably isn't going to be a problem.

In the Forms Manager Emails column want is the entry for this form? It will be something like

Enabled:1
Disabled:0

Yes. Like tutorial says: Enabled 1 - Disabled 0

Hi pippofresta,

Thanks. Please take a Form Backup using the icon in the Forms Manager and post it here (as a zipped file) or PM or email it to me and I'll take a closer look.

Hi pippofresta ,

Not helpful but it works perfectly here.

Do you have a mail server set up on your test server? I don't think that should be the problem but I can't see anything else that looks like a problem.

Thanks BOB,
very seriuos help.. but without solution (for me).
I don't have a mail server, my apache configuration doesn't work with local email.
I have to wait until my site will be online.

I try with different template but problem still exist..
any different way / solution ??


Thanks for this component and for your job.

Hi Pippo,

It's not a template problem.

Please will you go to Site Admin | Global Configuration | Server | Server Settings and temporarily set "Error Reporting" to 'Maximum'. You may then get a more useful error message when you submit the form.

Hi Bob,
I do. But it was useful for a strtotime() question, not for this question.
I have no warnings with system / error reporting set to maximum.

I think it's a question of my local windows apache server.

Thanks, Pippo.
