Thanks for the clarification, DestinationAlpha.
One thing I noticed in implementing an eForm recently is the need to control the output better of error messages and success messages. This would be a great candidate for another chunk.
The other pressing nice-to-have would be the ability to have multiple To addresses with individual messages instead of using JS to build the to address list.
In the interim, as soon as I nail down one last oddity with sending to multiple senders via javascript, I’ll put together a patch release and sample with all the stuff you’ll need to nail down a Tell-a-Friend form.

is there a posibility to make a form in eform user indentified (I do not know a good word for this but i explain my point)
a way to let the reciever know who the webuser was that sended the message. I am planning to make a ordering form for a chinese restaurand where you can order online bu only when you are a registerd user (that way false orders ar history) would be great if we could personolise the form atleast at the receiphers site.

Only make the form visible to registered users. Then use Personalize or Membercheck to customize the output.

To get the user’s login name inside your form you need create a Snippet or TV that returns the user’s name and then store that value inside a hidden field:
<input type="hidden" name="username" value="[[GetLoginName]]" />

...should I send/post the validation functions I’ve written? (considering that an eForm update/patch is on the way) It also includes some changes to the error messages.
Sure you can
Many thanks for your help in making eform a better snippet.

My patch is just a collection of all the great things the others have done along with the needed updates to phpmailer classes and a sample tell-a-friend form. Just housekeeping.

got a liitle problem.
the whole eForm-thing works well using contactForm+contactReport.
But in the receiving email (send to msyself for test) the subjectline is Zero (0 -Number).No subject-value is shown.Why?
the subject-value is inputed by name="subject" value="[+subject+] in contactform. In contactReport a [+subject+] in the headline shows the value.
But in the Message itself and not in the subjectfield of the mail-program. Did i mess up the chunks?
thanks. le block

how did you format your snippetcall? does it has &subject=`some text or placehoder here` if not than thats the problem I think
I’ve already implemented some @binding stuff but I have to agree with you it might not be such a good idea afterall. Your suggestion looks better. I’ll look into changing over the code I’ve done but as I’m not able to be very active at the moment should I send/post the validation functions I’ve written? (considering that an eForm update/patch is on the way) It also includes some changes to the error messages.
