Hi there,
I may be asking too much (meaning, something ChronoForms cannot do (yet), something you don't know howto or - worst case scenario - something you can explain and I won't understand...).
I'll try anyway. Here goes:
My question is basically two-fold:
* mail message to different email addresses based on subject selected
* drop-down or radio button selection including a custom subject field
I would like to have a form on which site visitors can select a subject (preferably a drop-down menu but radio buttons may do the trick) and based on what they choose, the email is sent to the right department.
This is what I would like:
subject => email goes to:
photos => photos@ mydomain.com
complaint => complaints@ mydomain.com
info request => info@ mydomain.com
other subject, namely: [text box in which they can fill in their own subject] => general@ mydomain.com
So there is a number of predefined subjects and the message is sent to specific departments; and if they fill in a different subject, the mail will go to the general email address.
IF (either of) these two things are (is) possible, could you explain it to me like I'm a four year old? I am not well-versed in PHP (if at all), but I have done a number of template overrides in Joomla. That should give you an idea of my (cap)abilities.
Thanx a lot in advance,
Thom

Hi,
i read the FAQ and implemented it and it works fine. Thanks for that
just one issue : how can i disable the required Static To - emailaddress? And make the preferred emailaddress the To - emailaddress so the receiver can reply directly to the right emailaddress.
thanks in advance,
Mark

Hi Mark,
You can use a Dynamic To Email in place of the Static one.
You can also use the Dynamic Reply To Email and Name boxes to allow a one-click reply if that is what you are asking about.
