Hello,

I've been banging my head against wall for some time with this.

I don't understand why contact form doesn't work for me.

Call:

[[!FormIt? 
&hooks=`email,redirect` 
&emailTpl=`sentEmailTpl` 
&emailSubject=`Message` 
&emailTo=`my email address` 
&validate=`Name:required:minLength=`2`, 
	Email:email:required, 
	Message:required` 
&redirectTo=`1`
&language=`en` ]]

<div id="contact-area">
<form id="commentForm" action="[[~[[*id]]]]" method="post">

	<label for="Name"><strong>Name:</strong> <span class="error">[[!+fi.error.Name]]</span></label> 
    <input id="Name" class="required" type="text" name="Name" value="[[!+fi.Name]]" /> 
    
    <label for="Email"><strong>E-mail:</strong> <span class="error">[[!+fi.error.Email]]</span></label> 
    <input id="Email" class="required email" type="text" name="Email" value="[[!+fi.Email]]" /> 
    
    <label for="Message"><strong>Message:</strong> <span class="error">[[!+fi.error.Message]]</span></label>
    <textarea id="Message" class="required" name="Message" rows="40" cols="20">[[!+fi.Message]]</textarea> 
    
    <input class="submit-button" type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" /></form>

</div>

This form is copied from another site, along with sentEmailTpl and css, where it works great.
I ran this site through w3c, and there were no errors
I tried applying basic template, with no scripts and css, to see if there were any compatibility issues

When I press send even redirect doesn't happen.

&validate=`Name:required:minLength=`2`, 
    Email:email:required, 
    Message:required`

is wrong. You should be doing:

&validate=`Name:required:minLength=^2^, 
    Email:email:required, 
    Message:required`

Also, you should add &submitVar=`submit` to your call.

I did these things

[[!FormIt? 
&hooks=`email,redirect` 
&emailTpl=`sentEmailTpl` 
&emailSubject=`Message` 
&emailTo=`my email address` 
&validate=`name:required, 
	email:required, 
	message:required` 
&submitVar=`submit`
&redirectTo=`1`
]]

But it still this form doesn't work.
I also tried re-installing formit and clearing cache several times, but nothing helps.

Just I wild idea, would it be possible, that formit doesn't work because of babel and .htaccess ?

Try it without the validate property.
The field names are still wrong there, but first see if it works without any
validation.

If not, try installing QuickEmail to see I'd the mail function is working.

I removed validate property, but it still didn't work.

I installed QuickEmail and followed instructions. E-mail was sent, and I received it in my inbox as well.

After second thought, I really wouldn't like to try re-installing.

I have made my form really simple just send e-mail and redirect, but still it doesn't work for me.
Could you please help me to get this working.
I did everything exactly the same as in other sites and forms there work great.
I also upgraded to modx revo 2.1.5

[[!FormIt? 
&hooks=`email,redirect`
&submitVar=`submit` 
&emailTpl=`sentEmailTpl` 
&emailSubject=`Zinojums no majas lapas` 
&emailTo=`my email` 
&redirectTo=`1`
]]

<div id="contact-area">
<form id="commentForm" action="[[~[[*id]]]]" method="post">

	<label for="Name"><strong>Vards:</strong> <span class="error">[[!+fi.error.Name]]</span></label>
    <input id="Name" class="required" type="text" name="Name" value="[[!+fi.Name]]" /> 
    
    <label for="Email"><strong>E-pasts:</strong> <span class="error">[[!+fi.error.Email]]</span></label> 
    <input id="Email" class="required email" type="text" name="Email" value="[[!+fi.Email]]" /> 
    
    <label for="Message"><strong>Zinojums:</strong> <span class="error">[[!+fi.error.Message]]</span></label>
    <textarea id="Message" class="required" name="Message" rows="40" cols="20">[[!+fi.Message]]</textarea> 
    
    <input class="submit-button" type="submit" name="submit" value="submit" />
    
</form>
</div>

Sorry, I don't see anything wrong with your code.

Does any of the fields contain any accented characters? If so, it could be a character set issue.

You might try removing FormIt (right-click on it in Package Manager and select "Remove Package"). Then re-download it and re-install it.
