creating a form in modx????

I think the report is supposed to be a chunk, not a document.

I tired this aswell, still does not work.


How do you guys add a contact form to modx?

1. Create the chunk to contain the form template.
2. Create the chunk to contain the report template.
3. Put the snippet call where I want the form to appear.

The snippet must be uncached [!eForm...!] if the page it’s on is cached.

See my demo site’s Manager for my own "contact us" form. Except for a variation on spam prevention and an extra function snippet to get and report the submitter’s IP address, it’s a stock eForm contact form.

Are all those non-breaking space entity codes actually there in your snippet? This won’t go down very well with PHP if so.

$params = array (
   // Snippet Path
   ’snipPath’ => $snipPath, //includes $snipFolder
’snipFolder’ => $snipFolder,)

Looks like somebody did a copy/paste from a web page.

Your &formid isnt matching...


Both should be same for eForm to work right.

I think this line have to be edited too... ?

<input name="formid" type="hidden" value="ContactForm" />

Yes, but that line isn’t needed anymore for latest eform to work. Its safe to delete and not to use this line.

just updated the eForm snippet, everything works fine! now

one question,
is it possible to have the emails appear to be sent from the user?
example if the user enters his email address on the form as "[email protected]"

the form will be sent to me, by "[email protected]"?

Yes, use the name of the email field as a placeholder in the &from=`[+fieldname+]` parameter.
