[Solved] "Could not initiate mail function."

Hi

I have a problem with ChronoForms (v.4 rc2 in jommla 1.6).

After I setup the form (look below), I get the error "Could not initiate mail function" which means that I don't get the email as planned.

Under global conf. I use PHPmail.

I hope that somebody can help me :-)

Sample code: (just a single field)

<div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_text" id="navn__container_div"><label>Navn:</label><input maxlength="150" size="30" class="" title="" label_over="0" hide_label="0" type="text" value="" name="input_text_0" />
<div class="clear"></div><div id="error-message-input_text_0"></div></div><div class="ccms_form_element cfdiv_submit" id="input_submit_1_container_div"><input name="input_submit_1" class="" value="Tilmeld" type="submit" />
<div class="clear"></div><div id="error-message-input_submit_1"></div></div>

Hi JonasPrimdahl ,

Please check that your site can send emails - I usually check with the 'Email a friend' link on an article page.

I have the exact same problem with Joomla 1.5.23.

I have checked that I can send emails from Joomla's "Send to a friend" function, but I get the Could initiate email function with Chrono Forms??

PS. Chrono Forms is simply a great piece of software - Once I manage to have it to send the emails :-)

Hi erikg,

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.

Bob

Here is the back-up file. Hope that you can see what went wrong.

Best regards,

Erik

Hi Erik,

The To Email address has a comma in it eg[at]q4[comma]dk

I think that is most of the problem. You also have a Reply To email with no Reply To name but as it's the same as the From Email you can just remove it.

That was so embarrassing. Sorry to have taken your time with such a stupid error on my part.

What can I say? I am truly sorry and embarrassed. But obviously I could not see the error.

Thank you for a great piece of software and fantastic support.

Hi Erik,

No problem, those things can be the hardest to spot just because you don't expect them. It was only because I added ,my@emailaddress after it that I spotted that there were two commas.

Hi

The "email a friend" feature works fine.

Hi Jonas,

Please drag a DeBugger action into the OnSubmit event. Submit the form and post the resulting debug output here.

Bob

Hi

It just started working :-) I get no error, when I test the form, and I recive a email :-)

Maybe my host (one.com) changed something, because I haven't made any changes.
