Hi Oliver,

I'm creating a business directory, and want people to be able to email businesses, without exposing thier email address (we get enough SPAM as it is :) )

So that people can still email, I wanted to pass a hidden/extra variable to CForms that would indicate who needs to get the email

so if I have a link to:    http://www.gjzone.com/page1/?email_id=20

[ or a hidden POST variable ]

Is there a way that the form on /page1/ could utilize the variable email_id (or an email address equivalent) ??

Essentially, I'm wanting the public to be able to email businesses directly, without exposing the email address of the business to Spammers.

I looked throught the docs, and didn't see this case, but if its there, could you point me to the page?

Thanks for all your help and the time that you've put into this Plugin.

Matt

Olliver,

I'm planning on hundreds of businesses, so a drop-down wouldn't work for this.

What I decided to do (for simplicity and style) was to place a form at the bottom of the page, while I have easy access to the email_ID.

What I'm trying to do is to use a dynamic form that will pass the users ID  in a hidden variable to the post-processor, which will email out the form to the business.

A problem that I'm faced with is that my Submit button is blank, and I don't know why!  I have a value of Contact for my 'Submit Button Text', but it isn't being picked up.

I'm using form number 1 with only a fieldset, and everything else is in my post (not page, if the difference matters).

How do I get a value for my Submit button?

I'm using 8.7 of CForms

My form can be viewed here:

Here's my code: (Hope the code comes out right)

 

$fields = array();

$formdata = array(   
                array('Contact This Business', 'fieldsetstart',  0,0,0,0,0),
        array('Your Name|Your Name','textfield',        0,0,0,1,0),
        array('Email','textfield',                               0,0,1,1,0),
                array('Phone', 'textfield',                            0,0,0,1,0),
                array('Website', 'textfield',                         0,0,0,1,0),
        array('Your Message','textarea',                  0,0,0,1,0),
                array('hidden_id|BOOGIE', 'hidden',              0,0,0,1,0)
        );
$i=0;
foreach ( $formdata as $field ) {
    $fields['label'][$i]        = $field[0];
    $fields['type'][$i]         = $field[1];
    $fields['isdisabled'][$i]   = $field[2];
    $fields['isreq'][$i]        = $field[3];
    $fields['isemail'][$i]      = $field[4];                       
    $fields['isclear'][$i]      = $field[5];                       
    $fields['isreadonly'][$i++] = $field[6];       
}

insert_custom_cform($fields,'1');

If you need more data, let me know.

Any thoughts on what I can check to fix this? 

Thanks

Matt

form #1 is in fact being referenced as '' (empty string), that's why it didn't work.

Also, I'm still curious on how you actually tell cforms the email address to send to? Not that it's not possible to do, but it's also not a matter of typical configuration :-)

(I do think though that I covered on how to change the code in this forum already)
