eForm using Site Name as Sender

Hi all

I have a strange Problem. My Report Form uses the Site Name as sender. When I set &from to `[+email+]` then it sends Site Name <"[+email+]"@domain.info>

Any Idea?

Thanks a lot

Can you clarify... you want the report to have [’site name’]@domain.info> as the sender?
or do you want the report/email to give you... &from = [+email+]

BTW You can set the $from name into eform.inc.php like this
below line no.. 518

$mail->From = $fields[’email’];
$mail->FromName = $fields[’name’]; // you might need to change this in several places...

Make sure you are using those exact field values in your form... ie <input name="email" id=" eform= etc>

Here is a post on attaching several of emails to a $bcc .... http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,40482.msg245095.html#msg245095

Have you read the documentation that comes with Eform, here is a quick cheat sheet,
see this post.... http://modxcms.com/forums/index.php/topic,42002.html

Hope this Helps!

Hi paulhomebus

for sure I have checked the wicki and the cheat sheet, which is great by the way.

Well in my form I ask the sender for his email address like


in the report form it is transmitted like


which is also properly giving me the email address of the form sender. I would like to have this same address in the report email in the header to:[email protected] ! But there I get the name from the [+site_name+] and <&from> in this. In my Opinion there should only be the form senders email address.

Tanks a lot.

You may be running up against a clash between eForm and PHx. Try &from=`((email))`

Hi all

I am back to that topic now.

in my opinion it should be possible to have the site_name and the site_email in the &automessage
and the sendermail and the sender_name in the report email, then this would make sense to both recipients.

Is there a way to achieve this?

@kp52
when I use &from=`((email))` I get [+email+] returned in the &automessage

thanks for your help
