Mail form doesn't send!

Kalika · Post by **Kalika** » Tue 14. Sep 2004, 15:22

I'm having a little trouble with mailform:
When pressing the send button, the site reload the home page, without sending anything and even if the required form are empty...

Any idea?

This is the code:

Try the following :

Create a structure Level called : Mailform
Front-End Menue Status: nothing is checked
Status : not visible and not public

Below this structure level create 2 new structures with the fololwing settings:
1. level
Name : success
front-end status : change nothing
Status : visible and public

2. level
Name: failed

front-end status : change nothing
Status : visible and public
You should now have a structure like this :

Code: Select all

+root
|
+-+mailform
| +--success
| +--failed
|
...

Now switch to your article center and create a new article in the "success" level, just saying : " Your mail has been send". and make it visible
then create a new article in the "failed" level, saying "The mail has not been send"

It shoould look like this :

Code: Select all

+root
|
+-+mailform
| +-+success
| | +--success-message (article)
| |
| +-+failed
| | +--failure-message (article)
|
...

Get both web adresses and notice them (for example index.php?id= 43,35,0,0,1,0 and index.php?id= 44,36,0,0,1,0)

inside your mail formular add those 2 lines at the end of all fields :

Code: Select all

IH|redirect|0||10,100|http://www.yourpage.com/index.php?id= 43,35,0,0,1,0|0
IH|redirect_error|0||10,100|http://www.yourpage.com/index.php?id= 44,36,0,0,1,0|0

Please don't ask me why, but I also had some problems with emails, bot beeing send. But after doing this steps everything works fine.

If this all does not work, pls create a simple PHP Script that does nothing else then sending you an email with testcontent, using the mail-function, when its called in the browser.
