    I'm getting the error above from my Contact form when using eform as follows:

    [!eForm? &from=`((email))`  &fromname=`((name))` &formid=`ContactForm` &subject=`[+subject+]` &to=`[email protected]` &ccsender=`0` &tpl=`ContactForm` &report=`ContactFormReport` &gotoid=`110` &vericode=`1` !]


    I believe this is a recent issue as it was tested and working when 1.0.14 was rolled out. Can anyone shed some light on this?

    Thanks. [ed. note: taiyo1578 last edited this post 9 years, 5 months ago.]

      And what happens if you try:

      [!eForm? 
      &formid=`ContactForm` 
      &to=`[email protected]`
      &fromname=`Fromname test` 
      &from=`[email protected]` 
      &tpl=`ContactForm`
      &report=`ContactFormReport`
      &subject=`Test subject` 
      &ccsender=`0`
      &gotoid=`110`
      !]


      do you have the formid correct in your TPL?
      <input name="formid" type="hidden" value="ContactForm" />

        Thanks fourroses666.

        I modified the eform call as you have above and checked the formid in the TPL and still no luck.

        Here is my TPL: http://cl.ly/image/1O021I041805

        ...any other thoughts?

          eform="Form Subject" maybe you can't use spaces.
          action="" did you try to keep it empty? or use the below <form
          try without vericode / captcha?


          My default eform TPL:

          <form enctype="application/x-www-form-urlencoded" method="post">
          	[+validationmessage+]
          		
          
          		
          		Naam <span class="ster">*</span><br>
          		<input class="formfield" type="text" name="naam" eform="naam:naam:1" /><br>
          		
          		E-mail <span class="ster">*</span><br>
          		<input class="formfield" type="text" name="email" eform="email:email:1" /><br>
          		
          		Telefoon<br>
          		<input class="formfield" type="text" name="telefoon" maxlength="16" eform="telefoon::0" /><br>
          		
          		Vraag / Opmerking <span class="ster">*</span><br>
          		<textarea class="formfieldwide" name="bericht" cols="35" rows="5" eform="bericht::1"></textarea><br>
          		
          		<span class="p-top"><span class="ster">*</span> <em>verplicht</em></span>
          		<input class="bt_verstuur cursor" type="submit" name="Verstuur" value="Verstuur" /><br>
          
          
          <!-- change this : -->
          <input type="hidden" name="formid" value="contactFormId" />
          </form>

            I see a typo eform="Your name::1:

            the last : is one too much I think?

            • &from= should use a valid from address that is allowed to be sent by the server. Maybe that is your issue.

              Use &replyto=`email` if you want to answer on those mails easy.

              @Marc: Missing/superfluos ':' in eform tags are ignored.

                doesn't appear to be the issue.

                This eform code and TPL and report was working for years and suddenly stopped working.

                    Have you tried to use a not variable mail address there? Have you tried to use &from=`email`?
