Support/Comments for SPForm

is there any tutorial about using SpForm in Revo yet?

I believe Bob’s Guides has one. http://bobsguides.com/spform-tutorial.html

Hi there,

I installed this through the manager in Revolution. Saved the [[!SPForm]] in one of my pages and the form shows up.
But I can’t seem to find the contacts.cfg.php and spfconfig.cfg.php. Any idea?

In revolution, the snippet is controlled by its properties. If you edit the snippet and click on the "Properties" tab, you should see them. The safest way to use them is to override them with parameters in the snippets tag or create your own property set and specify it in the snippet tag like this:



That way, your changes won’t be overwritten if you upgrade the package.

Nevermind.

Hello;

I downloaded and tried to use the SPForm snippet (3.1.2 beta 1) with Revo and everything seemed to work except I did not receive any e-mail in my inbox.
So I tried SMTP setting as suggested in the readme.
now I am getting the following error

Fatal error: Undefined class constant ’_MAIL_SMTP_PORT’ in /home/content/27/6158427/html/modx/core/components/spform/classes/spformprocclass.inc.php on line 591

property settings (localSPFsetting) I modified from default values are;
spfUsesSMTP "yes"
spfSMTP_Host "myemailserver.net"
spfSMTP_Username "name"
spfSMTP_Password "password"

there is one more spfSMTP setting "spfSMTP_Port 519" but this one is unclickable in the grid.

the form resource page is simple one liner => [[!SPform@localSPFsetting]]

Is there anything else I may be overlooking?

Try turning off all the SPForm SMTP settings and using the SMTP settings in System->System Settings. That way MODx will use SMTP for all email. If you use both sets of settings, the mailer gets confused.

[solved: I made the changes in the file directly]

When I change in the lexicon the "enter-comments" nothing happens. Does anybody know how I can change the text above each filed?
For example "Please enter your comments below. Click "Submit" when done.:" into "Please enter your message"...

Hope anybody can help me

Hello, my problem turned out to be two issues, I believe

_MAIL_SMTP_PORT : I looked at the code and noticed all other variables in that section of codes started with MAIL_SMTP... No underscore at the start of variable name. So I removed the "_" and tried again.
This time, it showed the formatted error message saying the mail did not get sent.

I use GoDaddy server and thought this could be a host issue. I found the following info in Goddady’s page.

If you use the mail() function in your PHP, you do not need to specify an outgoing mail server. If you are using some other method besides mail() in your PHP code, use relay-hosting.secureserver.net for your relay server. This function is not supported on IIS 7

according to this article, php mail() should work, but somehow this simple php test code don’t send the mail.


So I set the modx system setting to use SMTP with "relay-hosting.secureserver.net", no authentication, no username nor password, and voila, it worked. So now I have a form function on my site.

I am still not sure why the mail() does’nt work. Maybe my plan does not include it but that’s another point. Good thing is, SPForm is working



PS. I refreshed Godaddy’s webformmailer installation and now mail() function is also working. Stange.

Can you tell me what file (or snippet) you found that in?
