when I enter information into the cc and bcc field in chronoforms, nothing gets sent to those addresses. The regular email address field works fine, but only holds about 2 email addresses that I need to send to.

Has anyone seen this before? Also, is there a way to make the character limit bigger for the main email address entry field?

Thanks

Hi wingtips,

What are you putting in the cc & bcc fields?

The max length of the input field is 100 characters, you can edit it in admin.chrnoncontact.html.php around line 294

Thanks GreyHead. I'll use that tip to expand the main address field.

As for what I'm putting in the bcc and cc field, they're just regular email addresses like I put in the main address field.

Is there some setting I haven't turned on or something?

Hi wingtips1,

They should work OK, the code is pretty much identical to the email field. I'll run a check in the morning (past midnight now).

I am also unable to get bcc to work and I as well get a warning when leaving the:

i Email address(es)
must be blank or valid email address(es):

blank on the main page and try to use the email field on the special fields page.

I would like the form emailed to the form submitters email and bcc'ed to the email addresses I specify. Is this possible with your current version? If not when will we see this fixed?

Hi cliffclof,

you will need to upgrade to V3.0 stable, please note that the backup and restore will not work from you version which is V2.x to the V3.x, you will need to manually backup your form code and recreate the form on V3.0!

Hmm that's weird I only see version 2.3.9 available in your downloads section. You do not support Joomla 1.0.x versions?

Hi, you have J1.0.x then, no option to upgrade now, yes we started to make upgrades for J1.5 only since everybody is upgrading now, its much better of course!

for your problem ,try to add some hidden field with the email address you want bcc and then add this hidden field name in the bcc field in the special fields tab.

you will add the user's email field name in the Email field at the special fields tab too!

finally put any working email in the Emails addresses field to prevent the check from giving error, no way to pass this check.

I am working on 1.5.6 with the newest chrono release,
But I can't seem to get the cc and bcc working.
The static cc and bcc and also the dynamic cc and bcc don't seem to do anything...

I've done a little more digging.

The bcc does work. It's just the cc.
The code seems fine. Maybe it is the sendMail function of Joomla that is not going well...
I'll do a little more digging.

I was using Joomla 1.5.6. I updated to 1.5.7 and it seems to be fixed...

Hi Peter, thats great, so you didn't change anything before upgrading ? only upgrading to 1.5.7 solved all issues ? we can say Joomla 1.5.6 had an issue with that then ?

Thank you for the help. I got it to work by using your methods of workaround. I'll refrain from suggestions or wishes until I upgrade. Again thanks.

Cliff

Just to add fyi. I also can't get the cc to work. As has been said bcc does work, so its not a biggie. However I am already using 1.5.7 so no update route just yet!

zaphod, try to change the sendmail method at the Joomla global config, you should 2 or 3 choices to choose from!

Hi,

I'm having a similar problem, I have changed the character limit for the "To" field via admin.chronocontact.html.php and that is working fine. However I cannot get the "BCC" field change to work which is the one I need.

Line 1565

<input type="text" name="bcc_<?php echo $emailscounter; ?>" id="bcc_<?php echo $emailscounter; ?>" size="30" maxlength="500" value="<?php echo $email->bcc; ?>" class="cf_inputbox"/>

I'm using version 3.1 RC5.5.

Thanks
Sayf

Hi Sayf,

Does the BCC work ? or it doesn't work only when you extend the maxlength ? if its working by default then you may create more emails and use the BCC in each one, just create a new email identical to the original

Cheers,
Max

Hi Max,

Yes the BCC is working fine, the problem is the max length won't go past 150. Is there any way round this? Or is the only solution to use multiple BCC fields?

Thanks
Sayf

Hi Sayf,

I have no idea why the limit is not working with the BCC field but for now you may use multiple ones, or even multiple emails because multiple BCC fields in 1 email will be translated to 1 BCC field the next time you try to edit the form

Cheers
