Hi, I am a novice using MODx, and am using the FormIt component which works. I followed all exactly as instructed on the example page. The form works, and sends a Subjetct, multipule email addresses, name, email, and comments text.

The issue is none of the values from the colors or numbers are sent in the email back to me? The chunk call I am using is:

[[!FormIt?
&hooks=`recaptcha,spam,email,redirect`
&emailTpl=`MyEmailChunk`
&emailTo=`NOT SHOWN IN FORUM but used in chunk`
&emailUseFieldForSubject=`1`
&emailMultiSeparator=`
`
&redirectTo=`1`
&validate=`name:required,
email:email:required,
subject:required,
text:required:stripTags,
numbers:required,
colors:required`
]]

Any guidance on this would GREATLY help, I am sure this is a novice issue. Thanks very much.

I've never had a problem with this when copy/pasting directly from the tutorial example. All I can suggest is that you double-check the form and the MyEmailChunk tpl for the email.

Thanks Scotwell, Here is the Chunk that I have the form inserted and using. I call the Chunk from the Resource. This is a direct copy/paste as you noted. The site is yorkvillerobotics.org/dev

[[!FormIt?
   &hooks=`recaptcha,spam,email,redirect`
   &emailTpl=`MyEmailChunk`
   &emailTo=`xxxxxxxxxx`
   &emailUseFieldForSubject=`1`
   &emailMultiSeparator=`<br />`
   &redirectTo=`1`
   &validate=`name:required,
      email:email:required,
      subject:required,
      text:required:stripTags,
      numbers:required,
      colors:required`
]]

Also on the site I did remove the html for the colors and numbers until they are working. Thanks

SOLVED.. Scotwell, Thanks for your "double-check" note above. As a novice on using MODx I realized that I have to add the the calls specificaly in the email.Tpl. I added [[+colors]] and [[+numbers]] to the template MyEmailChunk and it works great.

Form The Foximus Prime Contact Us Form:
<br>
 
<br />[[+name]] ([[+email]]) Wrote: <br />

[[+text]]
<b />
Choices are:
[[+numbers]]
[[+colors]]
