Hey guys,

I truly admire your work, by far one of the top 5 Joomla extensions!!

I have a contact form with different departments, this is the code setup in custom code:

<?php
$recipient = JRequest::getString('subject', 'technicalquestions', 'post');

$emails = array (
  'technicalquestions' => 'andrew@somewebsite.com',
  'internationalinquiries' => array('peter@somewebsite.com', ' jimmy@somewebsite.com')
);
$form->data['email_to_use'] = $emails[$recipient];

Added settings for the Email GH screenshot here: general - http://screencast.com/t/0r8zNn7gG and email setup http://screencast.com/t/Apj6mYwKUl .

I keep getting "You must provide at least one recipient email address." and this is the debugger's result:

I'm really looking forward in your reply as i'm out of ideas. Thank you so much and promise to buy a beer!!!

Hi Marius,

Because the Email [GH] action lets you mix and match static and dynamic values in the Email boxes you have to use curly brackets to show which are dynamic. Please try {email_to_use}.

From the Help tab:
The Dynamic and Static tabs have been merged into an Email Setup tab.
The boxes on the Email Setup tab will accept either a string e.g. user@example.com or an input name in curly brackets {input_text_1}. This lets you mix and match static and dynamic values.

Bob

Thank you so much Bob, if only i'd open that documentation and actually read the instructions, doink . A coffee for you sir!

Best,
Marius
