Answered Getting FormIt to send to different email addresses based on drop down selection

Hi

Can anyone help with this?

I’ve amended one of our standard forms on our website to included a drop down so you can select the relevant category. Based on the category you select, the form should be emailed to the relevant person/s.

The HTML looks like as follows:

[[$header]]
<div class="third_nav">
[[Wayfinder? &startId=`6` &level=`1` &outerTpl=`third_nav_ul` &rowTpl=`third_nav_tpl` &hideSubMenus=`TRUE` &hereClass=`current` ]]
</div>
<div class="main-container">
<h1>[[*longtitle]]</h1>
<div class="content contact">
[[*content]]
[[!FormIt?
&hooks=`groupSelector,email,redirect`
&emailTpl=`contact-form`
&emailTo=`[[+emailAddresses]]`
&emailSubject=`Supplier Introduction`
&redirectTo=`186`
&validate=`name:required,
email:email:required,
number:required,
text:required:stripTags`
]]
[[!+fi.error.error_message:notempty=`<p>[[!+fi.error.error_message]]</p>`]]

<form action="[[~[[*id]]]]" method="post" class="form">
<form action="" method="post" class=”f24form” id=”contact-form” name=”contact-form”
F24Name=”contact-form”>
<input type="hidden" name="nospam:blank" value="" />

<label for="name">
Full Name:
[[+fi.error.name]]
</label>
<input type="text" name="name" id="name" value="[[+fi.name]]" />
<br class="clr" />

<label for="organisation">
Organisation Name:
[[+fi.error.organisation]]
</label>
<input type="text" name="organisation" id="organisation" value="[[+fi.organisation]]" />
<br class="clr" />

<label for="address">
Address:
[[+fi.error.address]]
</label>
<textarea name="address" id="address" >[[+fi.address]]</textarea>
<br class="clr" />

<label for="city">
City:
[[+fi.error.city]]
</label>
<input class="width150" type="text" name="city" id="city" value="[[+fi.city]]" />
<div class="clr"></div>

<label for="country">
Country:
[[+fi.error.country]]
</label>
<input class="width150" type="text" name="country" id="country" value="[[+fi.country]]" />
<br class="clr" />

<label for="postcodec">
Post code:
[[+fi.error.postcodec]]
</label>
<input type="text" name="postcodec" id="postcodec" value="[[+fi.postcodec]]" />
<br class="clr" />

<label for="number">
Contact number:
[[+fi.error.number]]
</label>
<input class="width150" type="text" name="number" id="number" value="[[+fi.number]]" />
<br class="clr" />

<label for="email">
Email:
[[+fi.error.email]]
</label>
<input type="text" name="email" id="email" value="[[+fi.email]]" />
<br class="clr" />

<label for="service">Please select the relevant Buyer</label>
<select name="service" style="width: 308px">
<option value="0">Please choose...</option>
<option value="1">Supply Chain Logistics</option>
<option value="2">Professional Business Services</option>
<option value="3">Facilities Management Business Support</option>
<option value="4">Landfill Construction GTE</option>
<option value="5">Disposals</option>
</select>
<br class="clr" />

<label for="text">
Services/Supply Details:
[[+fi.error.text]]
</label>
<textarea name="text" id="text" cols="55" rows="7">[[+fi.text]]</textarea>
<br class="clr" />

<br class="clr" />
[[!+formit.recaptcha_html]]
[[!+fi.error.recaptcha]]

<br class="clear" />




<div class="form-buttons">
<input onClick="_gaq.push(['_trackEvent', 'Contact Forms', 'Submit', 'Supplier Introduction']);" class="button" type="submit" value="Submit" />
</div>
</form>
</div>
<div class="right-bar">
[[$right-bar]]
</div>
[[$home_more]]
[[$home_services]]
</div>
[[$footer]]




//I've created a snippet call 'groupSelector' which the dropdown uses as follows://




#$group[0] = '[email protected]; // Default group (no choice)
$group[0] = '[email protected],[email protected]';
$group[1] = '[email protected],[email protected]'; // Supply Chain Logistics option
$group[2] = '[email protected],[email protected]'; // Professional Business Services option
$group[3] = '[email protected],[email protected]'; // Facilities Management Business Support option
$group[4] = '[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]'; // Landfill Construction GTE option
$group[5] = '[email protected],[email protected]'; // Disposals option

$userChoice = $hook->getValue('service');
$hook->setValue('emailAddresses',$group[$userChoice]);
return true;


Unfortunately nothing happens when the submit button is clicked.

Can anyone see what I’ve missed?

Did you look at the dynamic recipient information here: http://rtfm.modx.com/extras/revo/formit/formit.hooks/formit.hooks.email

You shouldn't need to use a custom hook to accomplish this goal, which could be the source of your problem.

Hey Patrick: Thanks for this tip. Am in the process of getting ready to tackle this very topic with one of my formit forms.
