    I’m wanting to use a couple forms and I’m seemingly drawing blanks for where the [(email_sender)] variable is set? It’s probably right in front of my face, but I can’t seem to find it. Where can we set where an eForm be sent? Where can we set the [(email_sender)] variable?

    Thanks.

        Ack. Not specific enough.

        Did you mean:

        Inside the Manager,

        Tools-->Configuration-->User
        then under the "Email address" field?
        The one where it says: "Here you can specify the e-mail address used when sending users their usernames and passwords"?

        That label seems misleading to me... I’ve tried updating that, but my web form still doesn’t seem to be working. Can you verify if that field is indeed correct? Then I know the problem is with my mail forwarder.

        Thanks.

          Paste in your call, your report format and your form code please. (Yes that’s what I meant inside the manager ... sorry for the terseness.)

            My call looks like this:

            [!eForm? &formid=`ContactForm` &subject=`[+subject+]` &to=`[(email_sender)]` &ccsender=`1` &tpl=`ContactForm` &report=`ContactFormReport` &invalidClass=`invalidValue` &requiredClass=`requiredValue` &cssStyle=`ContactStyles` &gotoid=`46` !]

            Is this what you wanted to see?
            It’s out of the box standard... I don’t think I’ve changed anything from the 0.9.6.1p2 install.

            I suppose I can just manually specify the to=`[email protected]` if it’s too difficult. And since we’re talking about this, is it possible to add attachments to a web form using the eForm plugin?

            Thanks for the clarification. I really do appreciate it, AND once I understand something I tend to document the @#%@ out of it for others.

              Watch out, it is [(emailsender)] without underscore...
