Make email in form the mailfrom addres

[wills99]

I need the email address field in my form to be the "Mail From" address in the email form result so when I respond to the form result email, I do not have to copy/paste the address before replying.

There is another post that claims this functionality was added but I cannot find out how to do it.

Please help.

I also need this information-- we upgraded to the latest version specifically for this feature!

Thanks for a great component.

Apparently nobody monitors this forum. It's a shame because it is a good component.

Hi,

Pedrino usually provides great support on this forum but I guess his time is preoccupied these days.

First please make sure that you have the latest version of ckforms:

- CKForms component 1.3.3 (build 5)
- CKForms plug-in 1.3.3 (build 3)
- CKForms module 1.3.3 (build 2)

Either do a full install or use the upgrade files.

Then Edit the form itself, not the fields, and click on the Email tab. You should be able to set the email address you want there.

Let me know if this helps.

I have the latest version and build. I have tried all sorts of entries in the Mail FROM field but no luck.

Here you go...a hack by yours truly

edit com_ckforms/models/ckforms.php

After Line 427 that reads

Code: Select all

$mailBody = $mailBody.JText::_( 'IP Address' ) . " : " . $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'] . "<br/>\n";

insert

Code: Select all

         // Rahul Chand - Start Hack
         
         function get_emails ($str)
            {
            $emails = array();
            preg_match_all("/\b\w+\@\w+[\.\w+]+\b/", $str, $output);
            foreach($output[0] as $email) array_push ($emails, strtolower($email));
            if (count ($emails) >= 1) return $emails;
            else return false;
            }
            
         # Sample string containing email addresses;
         $str = $mailBody;

         # Get the emails on arrays;
         $emails = get_emails ($str);
         
         // Rahul Chand - End Hack

Edit Line 461 that reads

Code: Select all

$mail->setSender( array( $ckform->emailfrom, "" ) );

to

Code: Select all

$mail->setSender($emails); // Rahul Chand - Call Email address from above hack

Here you go...a hack by yours truly

function get_emails ($str)
{
$emails = array();
preg_match_all("/\b\w+\@\w+[\.\w+]+\b/", $str, $output);

if (count ($emails) >= 1) return $emails;
else return false;
}

Thank yoy, thank you
This works (partially)
When someone uses an emailaddrees with a dot in it, it losses the part in front of the dot. ( becomes .
I altered your code slightly and now it works flawless

Code: Select all

// Rahul Chand - Start Hack
         
         function get_emails ($str)
            {
            $emails = array();
            pregpreg_match_all('/(\w+\.)*\w+@(\w+\.)*\w+(\w+\-\w+)*\.\w+/', $str, $output);   
            foreach($output[0] as $email) array_push ($emails, strtolower($email));
            if (count ($emails) >= 1) return $emails;
            else return false;
            }

Hi, can I get the whole code from this file. I did what you wrote and I get any e-mails.

You will no doubt be able to help me ... I have a problem that seems simple but I can not solve ... I create more fields in my form (corresponding to several issues) but at the preview, only one appears ?????
Thank you for your response
