  Hey TobyL ... since you’re back in action, any ideas on when the next release/beta might be available?
  

  
  Honestly, no I don’t have a clear idea. I have a bit of a time management problem at the moment. I’ve just been asked to dig into Ruby on Rails for a project and as I don’t know Ruby at all I’ll be reading some books for a while. I’m working on the new version but progress is slow. I may have to add another point release to incorporate some of the things discussed here, before a totally new version will be ready.

  I was a little confused by the way that the &requiredClass and &invalidClass parameters functioned. I would’ve expected the required class to be added to all required fields (whether they’ve been submitted or not, including before any submission) and the invalid class to be added to all fields with invalid input (including missing required fields). It seems that in actuality both of these classes are triggered only on error - the required class when a required field is missing, and the invalid class when a field doesn’t validate.
  

  
  What can I say... &requiredClass seemed logical at the time. Perhaps requiredErrorClass would have been more appropriate. And yes it is documented but very sparse. I’ll elaborate on it a bit more Just to clarify, how both parameters work is that they add these classes, not replace any existing class. If you want required fields to have a different class (before submitting) you can simply set the class in the form template.

  TobyL, if you do make am interim release, can you PLEASE include the update with new Snippet TPL support? (already coded)
  I would really like to rid myself of my hacked eForms all over the place.
  
  Also, when are we going to get 1.43 in the MODx distro/SVN? Still shipping w/ 1.42......
  

  
  Can you remind me what chance that was

  Oh - one more easy request:
  
  It seems to me that there ought to be a parameter for &autosendername as well as &autosender. I set &from and &fromname to the email and name fields submitted in the form (so that the email received by the admins appears to come from that person and it’s easier to find in a crowded inbox). However when I do this &fromname is still used for the automessage, which is the name of the person receiving the automessage (not the sender).
  
  

  
  I’ll think about it for an interim release. The next major version will have a separate mailing system build as an eForm action object, as there will be other action objects (many I hope). I don’t know as yet how compatible the email action will be although there will most likely be a legacy action object which will incorporate the current (email) parameters. It will also be very easy to add extra parameters without having to edit the snippet core code.

  This is what I am anxiously awaiting with the next interim release of eForm! I have had much fun, and success, being able to return a Form HTML as the end result of a snippet call! Specifically for this Quiz/Assessment module I’ve been developing...

  Not all grey matter working optimal any more Code-base is still the same but memory is lacking ! Anyways,... already done in my local version so yes definitively will be in the next interim release.

  An interim release with any minor tweaks would be much appreciated and a nice addition for 0.9.6.
  
  On a similar note, there’s no reason I suppose that anyone couldn’t make some additions and roll out a release as 1.4.4 with TobyL’s approval. Any takers? (Help a overcommitted man out!)

  OK ... so being a bit redundant, any idea on an ETA for that one?

  No. Try not. Do. Or do not. There is no try.
