Hi,

First of all, a very big THANKS for this wonderfull superb joomla component! I love it!

However I have the following issue.

I use a dropdown list in the beginning of my form that has two options with as value an email adress. Depending on which option they select, the email should be sent to the correct email adress.

So I use this code:

<select name="contactwith" title="Nothing selected" id="contactwith">
        <option selected value="">Select</option><br>
          <option value="email1@domain.nl">Bestuur</option>
          <option value="email2@domain.nl">Steunpunt</option>
      </select>

And in the email setup, I just have a "dynamic to" in which I enter "contactwith" (I also have a bcc in which I have my own adress).

In my eyes this should work. But the email only arrives on the BCC adress, and not on the email adress value of the "contacwith" field.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

Best regards,
Wicher

Hi Wicher,

Please see FAQ #31 which has the code for doing this without showing the email addresses in the browser.

That said the code you have looks OK and should work as it is. If you turn Form Debug on you may get more info that will help pin down the problem. In particular the contactwith in the Dynamic To box should have no quotes or brackets.

Dear Greyhead,

Thanks for your reply.

I didn't even know about the debug function. Thanks for learning me this usefull option!

According to the debug function, the form was sent to the email of the dynamic to. However it really doesn't arrive there.

I entered the On submit code from FAQ#31
I have it like this:

<?php$emails_2 = array('em1'=>'email1@domain.nl', 'em2'=>'email2@domain.nl', . . .);$MyForm =& CFChronoForm::getInstance('contact');$MyFormEmails =& CFEMails::getInstance($MyForm->formrow->id);$MyFormEmails->setEmailData(1, 'to', $emails_2[$_POST['recipients']]);?

And ofcourse I adjusted the form code like this:

 <select name="contactmet" title="Geen keuze gemaakt" id="contactmet">
        <option selected value="">Selecteer</option><br>
          <option value="em1">Bestuur</option>
          <option value="em2">Steunpunt</option>
      </select{/code]


But now I get the following parse error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/XXX/domains/domain.nl/public_html/components/com_chronocontact/libraries/customcode.php(64) : eval()'d code on line 1>

Help for both issues would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks in advance.

With best regards,
Wicher

Hi Wicher,

Please can you also paste in the 'dummy emails' from the debug page.

You have the Email cloaking plug-in running on this page. It's possible that is causing a problem. Please can you test using the Form Link from the Forms Manager.

Bob

Wow Greyhead you are fast!

Btw while you where answering my reply before this one, I was editing that post to add a new problem with that I get with the code from FAQ #31. Any idea where that comes from?

Ok here the dummy emails:

---------------------------------------

From: domain.nl [noreply@domain.nl]
To: em1
CC: [email]myemail@gmail.com[/email]
BCC: [email]myemail2@domain.com[/email]
Subject: Ingevuld contact formulier

Hi Wicher,

First of all the dummy emails show "To: em1" so it looks as though you aren't using a Dynamic To element here.

The FAQ code has got a little mangled with the copy and paste:

<?php
$emails_2 = array('em1'=>'email1@domain.nl', 'em2'=>'email2@domain.nl', . . .);
$MyForm =& CFChronoForm::getInstance('contact');
$MyFormEmails =& CFEMails::getInstance($MyForm->formrow->id);
$MyFormEmails->setEmailData(1, 'to', $emails_2[$_POST['recipients']]);
?>

The array in the second line needs completing without . . . in it.
In line 3 ('contact') needs to match the name of your form.
In line 5 the ['recipients'] needs to match the name of your select box.

Bob

Hey Greyhead,

Thanks again for your reply.

I see the mistake I made with the code yeah. However doing it right didn't solve the problem. For some reason when the "Dynamic to" is a value that can be selected from a dropdown list it doesn't work. It does work when the value is something that is filled in the form in a text field.

I have solved my problem by just making two forms.

Thanks for your help, and perhaps this is something the Chronoforms team could look into. Would be nice if it is possible to do it like I originally wanted.

Best regards,
Wicher

Hi Wicher,

The code has been used often and works perfectly but may need some adjusting to your form. Please post your version so that we can see what is happening.

Bob
