I think I just customized the form correctly to have a drop down list subject, and everything seems to work well on the page, but when I receive the email, no subject is displayed at all.

Here’s what I did:

// enter "static" in order to use the static subject line
$subject_type = "";
$static_subject = "[Web Inquiry] ".$modx->config[’site_url’];

// Otherwise use an array of possible subjects
$subject_array[] = "General Inquiry";
$subject_array[] = "Kauai Real Estate";
$subject_array[] = "Aspen Properties";

I’m new at PHP so please bear with me.
I know modx will save me a lot of time in the long run and it’s been a joy to work with.

hey unclemeat,

looks like you just need to add the followinf in the form code at the bottom of the snippet:

<label for="subject">Subject:</label> 
          <select name="subject" id="subject">
EOD;
        foreach ($subject_array as $value) {
            $SendMail .= "<option value=\"{$value}\">{$value}</option>\n";
        }

$SendMail .=<<<EOD
            </select>

Cheers.
Gregg

Hi Gregg,

thank you, you are right. I think this should be mentioned in the snippet. Ryan?
