select recipients

Hi!

I read several postings here, did what they said, but it does not work.
here is my problem: in the form code I have

<select name="recipients" id="recipients">
<option value="em1">Peterhead</option>
<option value="em2">Kinlochbervie</option>
<option value="em3">Macduff</option>
</select>

Then I click on "wizard edit", there in the events-box I drag and drop a "custom code" action to the onSubmit section.
With "controller" active I pasted that php-code:

<?php
$recipient = JRequest::getString('recipients', '', 'post');
$emails = array (
'em1' => 'mail1@mail.at',
'em2' => 'mail2@mail.at',
'em3' => 'mail3@mail.at',
);
$email_to_use = $emails[$recipient];
JRequest::setVar('email_to_use', $email_to_use);
?>

In another actions field called "Email" I have
Dynamic To: email_to_use
and in the register Static every required field is filled out.

The E-Mail-box is UNDER the custom code box. When I activate debugger I get successfully sent to the e-mail-adress, which is under required static fields. but not those of the drop-down.

And what happens: the mail is sent, but NOT to the selected addresses.

Please view also the attached images .

and it's so annoying, couse everything worked fine in the former form I build years ago with chronoform, but now I need to rebuilt it and it does not work anymore😟(

sorry, but I really tried it for ages, read all posts, all faqs. but it does not work.

(and I am FAAAR away from my next issue: validating three fields, which didn't work either).

Any help is very appreciated,
thank you very much in advance!

Hi belex24,

The code you are using comes from ChronoForms v3 and does not work with ChronoForms v4 :-(

Please change these lines

$email_to_use = $emails[$recipient];
JRequest::setVar('email_to_use', $email_to_use);

to

$email_to_use = $emails[$recipient];
$form->data['email_to_use'] = $email_to_use;

Thank you sooo much for your answer. But honestly: where could I find something like this in a documentation or in the FAQs? I spent 4 days with this before I asked in the forum. No I waited almost 2 weeks for your help. It's a very unusual way to work for me.
But again: thank you very much.

Hi belex24,

Ask Max - this is his product. I just help out in the forums here.

This answer is already posted here three or four times.

I'm sorry that there was a delay in replying to your post. Often it's quicker. It happened that I was away for a few days and came back to find over 60,000 spam posts here.
