Please post the whole debug output or a screenshot and your form html and your general tab screenshot and assure your site is sending emails and a special fields tab screenshot and assure you dont have anything in the action URL field🙂

Cheers

I guess I know your problem man.... Try to check ur global configuration at your Joomla Administration. Then check your mailer at MAIL tab... Some server successfully running with PHP mail function but some require SMTP mailer in order to make the Joomla email sent successfully.

Hope this would help... :cheer:

seem to be having problems uploading files<br><br>Post edited by: skytopdesigns, at: 2007/11/02 14:25

trying again

here is the general

Hi Skytopdesigns,

There aren't any file fields in this form so I'm guessing that the problem is still that you aren't receiving the emails?

Check the 'From Email field' on the 'Special Fields' tab, it's hard to see from the image but I think you have 'emal' in there instead of 'email'. Anyhow the debug shows that there is a problem of some kind with the from email field as it shouldn't show as 'From: []'

Bob

what doyou mean there arent file fields in the form?

i do have "email" in the field.

you can check the live form at

thanks forthe reply

cleared all of the spcial fields and it worked.

thanks to ainother post

what are the special fields for?

thanks alot!!!

Hi skytopdesigns,

The 'special fields' take field names from your form and use the values of the fields.

Bob

why does it work with the special fields empty?

Hi skytopdesigns,

Probably because you had an error in the special fields.

Bob

okay. it works so illleave them blank

thaks alot
