Hi Susan and Bob,
Very good tips.
So, now my form works and does also FormSave.
The mail sending part still is weird.
I installed QuickEmail and that used as Bob said in his blog.
It says all is working fine but still emails not sent.
I assume this can be due to the fact that I have the modx inxtalled locally using XAMPP on windows 7.
Your answers made me mopre courage to not give up with Formit and at least now I may play with own hooks and stuff there.
I am happy to see a good and fast answering community here at Modx forum. Thank you very much
Wish you a nice day,
Zita
