Forward email 2 of form to Clickatell

Hi there

I have seen a few posts about how to do this: using either the Redirect plugin or the CURL plugin. I don't know either of them, nor can I find links for them. Is the Redirect plugin the default Joomla! 2.5 I can see in Plugin Manager? How would I incorporate this.

At the moment, "to:" is removed from the email and so it cannot get translated at Clickatell. Also, how can you set the editor to a better one like JCE, or how can you can hide it at all? I have edited the database entry for this email in order to set type to plain text, how can you do this from the admin backend?

Has anybody successfully employed a Clickatell Email to SMS feature using the new CF V.4?

Hi AnrietteC,

In ChronoForms v4 there are cURL and ReDirect URL actions on the form actions list. If you are using the Easy Wizard you may need to change to the Default (Advanced) Wizard to see them. Please see this new FAQ.

Sorry, I don't understand what is happening here?

I think that ChronoForms uses the default editor set for your site. If you switch to the Advanced Wizard this is turned off by default.

You can also set the Email Type to Plain Text using the Email action in the Advanced Wizard.

Not that I remember seeing reported here but I'm sure that it can be done.

Hi GreyHead

Thanks for the reply, it seems the Easy view is really just the 'get up and go' view. I changed to the Advanced View and now see what you are referring to. Thanks for this!

At the moment, Chronoforms is not using the default JCE editor, but rather TinyMCE, so it's not working like you said on my side. I think I have the latest version, 4.0 RC3.4.1.

Also, I have set my email's from as 'noreply@xxx', but have set a dynamic 'reply-to' field, but now CF includes the 'from' email address in the 'reply-to' field, not just the one I specified. How do I remove this 'from' email address? See screenshot.

Hi AnrietteC,

Please see this FAQ for the Reply To problem.

You are correct about the Editor, the Email Template loads TinyMCE, it't the front-end Textarea editor that use the site default.

If you prefer you can create your Email Template HTML in another editor and copy and paste it into the Template box.

I have the same problem.. I am using clickatell gate way (smtp api)
My email template should be like the following

to: 9689510XXX(my phone number)
text: New Message received in website name
text: {name}
text: {mobile}
text: {email}
=========

but I receive it in the email this way
=============
user:(my clickatell username)
password:(my password)
api_id:343XXXX
9689510XXX(my phone number)
text: New Message received in website name

text: {mobile}
text: {email
============

to: disappeared
and the smtp api will never work without this parameter..

can you please get this problem fixed?

thank you

Hi Salloom88,

I can't think of anything in ChronoForms that would remove just the 'To:'

What exactly is in the Email Template?

Please drag a Debugger action into the On Submit event, then submit the form and post the debug - including the 'dummy emails' results here.

Note: if you are using the Easy Wizard you can turn on Debug on the Others tab.
