Problem with ContactForm

Hello everybody,

I think I;m trying to run before I can walk, but I’m having a problem with the ContactForm snippet.

I have amended the base snippet to only have the subjects that I want, but when I fill in the form and press the button I get:

« MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »

PHP error debug
Error: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 501 <[(emailsender)]>: missing or malformed local part
Error type/ Nr.: Warning - 2
File: C:\Data\htdocs\cb4u\manager\includes\document.parser.class.inc.php(691) : eval()’d code
Line: 107

Parser timing
MySQL: 0.0029 s s (5 Requests)
PHP: 0.2291 s s
Total: 0.2320 s s

This is pretty much gobledygook to me - any ideas?

I’m running WinXP, Apache 2.0.52, PHP 5.0.3

Any help would be much appreciated.

Regards,
Paul.

Found the problem:

I had set the $recipient_type = "static".

I removed this and it now works!

Aaaaargh!!

Now have another problem.

I’ve hacked the form to give a better layout and added some additional fields, but I now get:

« MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »

PHP error debug
Error: mail() [function.mail]: SMTP server response: 503 valid RCPT command must precede DATA

Fixing the first problem was a result of a wild stab in the dark, but this has me stumped!

OK, back to first principles...

I’ve copied the base ContactForm to a new snippet.

I’ve removed the multiple subject lines, and removed the subject dropdown from the form.

I’ve set the $recipient_type to "static" and get:

« MODx Parse Error »

It would appear that the $email variable is actually returning "[(emailsender)]" as the address to send to rather than the email address set up for the website.

Can anyone tell me how to get around this without using the subject dropdown please?

Thnx
Paul.

Heloo ,

Which is the code of the document which calls your snippet?

I just had the same problem; changed the [(emailsender)] near the beginning of the snippet code to $modx->config[’emailsender’] and fixed the problem. Don’t know why that broke in the new version, though, it worked fine in the old one.

I use Modx 0.9.1 and my contact page contents "[[ContactForm? &sendTo=`[(emailsender)]`]]"
I have not error when I send email using this form.

I installed version 0.9.1 (I did not update earlier version). Is that could not come from there?

Thanks Susan - that works a treat !;D

@ Guillaume: This only seems to occur when you choose to use ’static’ for the recipient_type.

Hope this helps.

Cheers,
Paul.
