Send to different people depending on subject - fail

I’m trying to build a simple contact form.

I need the following fields:

Name
Email address
Regarding
Message

Now depending on the what the email is regarding I need it to go to different addresses.

I have the following template and calls:

<p class="error">[+validationmessage+]</p>

<form method="post" action="[~[*id*]~]" id="EmailForm" name="EmailForm">

	<fieldset>

		<input name="formid" type="hidden" value="ContactForm" />

		<label for="cfName">Your name:
		<input name="name" id="cfName" class="text" type="text" eform="Your Name::1:" /> </label>

		<label for="cfEmail">Your Email Address:
		<input name="email" id="cfEmail" class="text" type="text" eform="Email Address:email:1" /> </label>

		
<select name="nature" eform="Nature of enquiry:listbox:1">
      <option value="1">General enquiries</option>
       <option value="2">Advertising enquiries </option>
      <option value=""3">Media and PR enquiries</option>
      <option value=""4">Technical enquiries</option>
</select>

		

<!--
		<select name="subject" id="cfRegarding" eform="Form Subject::1">
			<option value="General Inquiries">General Enquiries</option>
			<option value="Press">Bulk Sales</option>
			<option value="Press">Returns</option>
			<option value="Press">Press or Interview Request</option>
			<option value="Partnering">Partnering Opportunities</option>
		</select>
-->
		<label for="cfMessage">Message: 
		<textarea name="message" id="cfMessage" rows="4" cols="20" eform="Message:textarea:1"></textarea>
		</label>
<!--
<p>
Please enter the anti spam code below:<br />
<img src="[+verimageurl+]" alt="verification code" border="1"/>
</p>
<p></p>
<p>
<label accesskey="c" for="vericode">code</label>
<input type="text" name="vericode" size="20" />
</p>
-->
		<label> </label><input type="submit" name="contact" id="cfContact" class="button" value="Send This Message" />

	</fieldset>

</form>

[!eForm? &formid=`ContactForm` &subject=`[+subject+]` &to=`[email protected],[email protected],[email protected],[email protected]` &ccsender=`1` &tpl=`ContactForm` &report=`ContactFormReport` &invalidClass=`invalidValue` &requiredClass=`requiredValue` &cssStyle=`ContactStyles` add &vericode=`0` &gotoid=`65` &mailselector=`nature` !]

Eform complains that the subject is invalid.

I want the ’regarding’ bit to also work as the subject as well as telling eform where to send the email.

I think you need to add empty value in the options as well. eg.

<option></option>

If you’re using PHx, you’ll need to make the parameter &subject=`((subject))` rather than &subject=`[+subject+]` to avoid a clash.

These section is buggy because of extra double quotes in options with values 3 and 4...

		
<select name="nature" eform="Nature of enquiry::1">
<option> </option>
      <option value="1">General enquiries</option>
       <option value="2">Advertising enquiries </option>
      <option value=""3">Media and PR enquiries</option>
      <option value=""4">Technical enquiries</option>
</select>

You could use a program editor with syntax colouring (which could highlight some typing errors).
PsPad (when you choose a given filetype), EMacs or Vim are enough powerfull to evict these errors most of the next times.

I see you have found the HTML piece of code to add a captcha code to eForm.

Cheers.
Terry.

fixed those errors. They were very hard to spot on a 2048x1500 monitor.

I also tired ((subject)) rather than [+subject+] - neither worked though

Some errors were detected in your form:
Form Subject » Incorrect value

I presume its to do with this line?

<label for="cfRegarding">Subject Title
		<input name="subject" id="cfRegarding"  class="text" type="text" eform="Form Subject::1"/> <label>

The problem is you have not specified the type of these textfield.
When you work with select html tags, you could set the field to accept multiple options types.
But I think it is not the case when you are working with simple input tags. The type is mandatory there.

So change:

 eform="Form Subject::1"

to:

 eform="Form Subject:string:1"

because it’s a textfield.

<label for="cfRegarding">Subject Title
		<input name="subject" id="cfRegarding"  class="text" type="text"  eform="Form Subject:string:1"/> </label>

Same issue still. I’ve only used the standard eform before and the documentation in the wiki is limited. I’m not sure of the issue here. Of course I could turn validation off if necessary
