Hi,

First of all just want to say that I've been using chronoforms for years now and it's a great extension.

We've got a little issue though at the moment with emails not getting through to the client (the recipient). It seems that the issue lies in the sending email address set to the same domain as the receiver. The client has a firewall in place which blocks any emails coming in from senders puporting to be from the same mailserver IP. The "you can't be me, I'm me" smtp error. So they've suggested we use a gmail account /gmail smtp settings instead. We currently have joomla mail setting set to PHP mail mailer.

So one of my questions is this:

Is chronoforms using the joomla config >server > mail settings? Or would I need to check elsewhere within the chronoform component to be sure?

Also, we're saving data from the form to the database, but for some reason the date isn't recorded. Is there a way to ensure the date is saved with each record?

Thanks a lot

Hi qmeister,

CFv4 is using the Joomla! mail server settings.

If there is a cf_created column in the table then CFv4 should save the date to it. (Otherwise you can use a Custom Code action to save the current date+time to a $form->data[''] entry with a different name.)
