mooseport 18 Nov, 2007
Hi,

i am new and i hope you welcome me ;-)
So my Problem is the following.

I will enter in the from eMail, eMail subject and from Name into the incomming Mail that the user have send with the form.
For Example:

The user have entered the following in the Contact Form on my Site
:
Name: Test Dummy
eMail: [email]test@dummy.xx[/email]
Subject: I dont want to be a Test Dummy.

When i recieve this mail in my mail Programm i will see [email]test@dummy.xx[/email] as from mail adress with the Subject I dont want to be a test Dummy.

When this mail is comming i will reply to this mail and the Mail goes to [email]test@dummy.xx[/email]

I use the latest ChronoForm Component 2.3.6

I hope you can help me.

Hi Mooseport,

Welcome, I think that what you need to do is to go to the Special Fields' tab and put the field names 'name' and 'email' in the 'From name field' and 'From email field' boxes.

Note you may need to check that the from email is a valid email.

Hi GreyHead, thaks for your Welcome.

So is it right, that i go to Special Field and put "contact_mail" (i named the eMail field contact name in the form) and then i put in the Tab General/From Email: "contact_mail" as i did it in the Special Fields Tab? And what should i do with the subject?

I hope i understand this as the right way. I am a little bit confuised with this Problem.

If I dont understand anything ;-) please try to give me a Dummy instruction for my Problem.

Thanks a lot
mooseport

Hi mooseport,

Yes.

and then i put in the Tab General/From Email: "contact_mail" as i did it in the Special Fields Tab?

No, just leave it empty.

And what should i do with the subject?

You can either put a subject 'text' e.g "I don't want to be a Test Dummy" in the General tab, or put a field name e.g. 'subject' in the 'Special fields' tab.
