How to get the email from the form?

g4biz 25 Feb, 2011
Hi

I have installed Chrono Forms successfully; url: http://www.navteam.co.uk/index.php?
option=com_chronocontact&Itemid=68. However, when I do a test message, I do not receive the emails
from the messages submitted. Could you please tell me what the issue is?

Secondly, once the form is submitted, the it takes the visitor to a page with a blank message. How can I add a message such as Thank you for your email, etc. to this blank page and where is it located?


Thanks

Hi g4biz,

For the thank you page add whatever HTML (+ PHP if you like in the OnSubmit After Email box on the Form Code tab (or Step 4 of the Wizard). You can use {input_name} to include data from the form.

For the emails please check the following:

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.

Thanks, Greyhead. It works fine now. Next step for me is to buy the book and validate!
