How to setup the dynamic to

Hi,

I used the chronoengine old version in a joomla 1.5 and works great, but I lost with this new version 4.0 in a joomla 1.5.26.

Well I setup a form with a drop down list that in his values have the first part of the e-mail. for example: martinemail


and I add a Hidden Field that will contain by php the rest of the code for the e-mail for example @gmail.com


so in the actions I add this controller

<?php
$loc = $_POST['input_select_1'];
if ( $loc ) {
  $_POST['input_hidden_10'] = $loc.'@gmail.com';
} 
?>

the result in the debbug is this.

Data Array: 
Array
(
    [option] => com_content
    [view] => article
    [id] => 22
    [Itemid] => 6
    [chronoform] => formulario2
    [event] => submit
    [input_select_1] => martinemail
    [input_text_2] => Martin
    [input_text_3] => 
 whofillstheform@gmail.com

    [input_hidden_10] => 
    [input_submit_9] => Enviar

So I don't receive the e-mail to my [email]martinemail@gmail.com[/email] that's the problem. I see that the server send the e-mail from [email]info@myserver.com[/email] but the to just show martinemail I lost the rest @gmail.com

I try to put the e-mail complete in the drop list but the browser say that I Have to activate the javascript...

any support? or Idea to do this?

thanks for your time.

Hope you understand my english is not perfect..

Hi mmartin ,

Pleas try replacing this code:

<?php
$loc = $_POST['input_select_1'];
if ( $loc ) {
  $_POST['input_hidden_10'] = $loc.'@gmail.com';
}
?>

with

<?php
$loc = $form->data['input_select_1'];
if ( $loc ) {
  $form->data['input_hidden_10'] = $loc.'@gmail.com';
}
?>

Great!

Works fine! can you explain me why? I not PHP developer but just for understand your code.:-)

thanks for your great component! this is my 2 site with your chronoengine and this is just great!

M!

Hi mmartin,

it's because ChronoForms loads the from data into the $from->data array when the form is first submitted and doesn't look at the $_POST array after that. So changes in $_POST have no effect.
