ChronoForms 5 - where to specify email address

Hey there,

I updated ChronoForms and am using now version 5. The forms which were working great in version 4 are not working anymore; I can add an "email" action to my form and specify the email-address there, but then no content from my forms is delivered - everything is empty. The "auto generate template" button is not there anymore... so how can I now make both working together again??

Thanks in advance for the help,
Stefanie

No.. the problem is, that I don't know how to "join" both .. the template which contains the filled in form data and the email action?!

Hi Stefanie,

I'm not at all clear exactly what your problem is?

If you leave the Email Template box empty and save your form then ChronoForms will auto-create a new template for you. Or you can add and edit your own HTML there.

Hey Bob,

well,the problem is that the auto-generated template looks like this:

<table>
<tr><td>C</td><td>{custom}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Your name</td><td>{name}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Your E-mail address</td><td>{email}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Subject</td><td>{subject}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Phone</td><td>{phone}</td></tr>
<tr><td>Message</td><td>{message}</td></tr>
<tr><td></td><td>{custom}</td></tr>
</table>

And the email that I receive looks like this:

Your name
Your E-mail address
Subject
Phone
Message

No values are inserted here!

How can this be? The label names are correct!

Hi Stefanie,

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 in CFv4 or the Setup tab in CFv5.

Bob

Hi Bob,

the debugger shows this:

Data Array

Array
(
    [option] => com_chronoforms5
    [chronoform] => Contact
    [Itemid] => 
)

Hi stefanie83,

As you can see there is no data to add to the email so that is behaving correctly.

What form elements have you added in the Designer tab? or are you using Custom HTML?

Bob

Hey Bob,

well it looks like this:

and I used "Text box" Elements for this, and custom HTML in the beginning just for a little text before the form starts.

Hi Stefanie,

That looks OK. Please post a link to the form so I can take a quick look.

Bob
