Have autosender match the email address used in mailselector?

I have a form with multiple destination options using the mailselector parameter. Is there a way to have the same email selected via the mailselector be used as the autosender address?

I tried altering the value via the $fields[’autosender’] = "[email protected]" in an event but it did not catch. Is this possible?

You’re mixing up the snippet parameters with the (form) fields. That doesn’t work sadly. You can access the snippet params within an event through the $modx->event->params array but these are read only unfortunately. The only thing I can suggest for now is to duplicate the whole mail sending in the eFormOnMailSent event function.

I’m trying to do a similar thing but with no joy!

I have a ‘Copy me in’ checkbox, when checked I want it to be like setting &ccsender to 1. I’ve tried passing the field value in with the parameter like &ccsender=`[+copy+]` and a script in &eFormOnBeforeMailSent to set copy to 0 if not 1, but this sends out ccsender email in both situations even though the copy field is being adjusted!

So I’ve followed advice above and it’s sending empty email:

<?php
// use with &eFormOnMailSent=`mailOut` in eForm

if( !function_exists('mailOut') ) {
	function mailOut(&$fields) {
		# send user a copy of the report
		if($fields['copy'] == 'yes' && $fields['email']) {
		
			global $modx, $from, $fromname, $subject, $report, $attachments;
			
			# include PHP Mailer
			include_once "manager/includes/controls/class.phpmailer.php";
			$mail = new PHPMailer();
			$mail->IsMail();
			$mail->CharSet = $modx->config['modx_charset'];
			$mail->IsHTML(true);
			$mail->From		= $from;
			$mail->FromName	= $fromname;
			$mail->Subject	= $subject;
			$mail->Body		= $report;
			AddAddressToMailer($mail,"to",$fields['email']);
			AttachFilesToMailer($mail,$attachments);
			if(!$mail->send()) return 'CCSender: ' . $_lang['ef_mail_error'] . $mail->ErrorInfo;
		}
		
		return true;
		
	}
}
return '';

?>

So it’s not finding the vars declared as global and you mention accessing these in the $modx->event->params array. Could you clarify how I would do this please?

Thanks

<?php
$to = $modx->event->params['to']; // you don't seem to use this in your code so you could skip this
$from = $modx->event->params['from'];
$fromname = $modx->event->params['fromname'];
$subject= $modx->event->params['subject'];
$report = $modx->event->params['report'];
//report is a chunk or doc id so you need to load the chunk
$report = efLoadTemplate($report);
//you then need to replace al the placeholders in your report
$report = formMerge($report, $fields);
//You don't have access to the $attachments array but you can build it from the $_FILES array
$attachments[] = $_FILES['field_name']['tmp_name'];
$attachments[] = $_FILES['field_name_1']['tmp_name']; //repeat for each uploaded file in your form
?>
