QuoteI want to send my "admin" email to multiple people based on input. I know CForms has a [Multiple Recipients] function but that only allows the selection of ONE via drop down. On my site I offer different offers from different vendors and I want the user to be able to select (checkbox) multiple offers.
For example:
John's Offer (assigned a value of john@123.com)
Tom's Offer (assigned tom@xyz.com)
Pete's Offer (assigned to jackly@gma.com)
If they select any of the offers all of the emails based on those selections get the admin email. I don't see how to do this in CForms!? Am I missing something?
Is there a plugin or cforms-custom for this? Another option would be to allow variables in the Admin Email or BCC fields; perhaps there is a plugin for this? Or is this already doable in CForms and I am missing it?

i am looking for a similar option, haven't yet found a way to add a field variable in a CC/BCC field.
my client is specifically asking this, perhaps Oliver could let me know what this feature would cost and i could talk with my client about this?
i assume you have my email via this message, Oliver? Thanks in advance!

i also donated, but paypal takes 4-6 business days to process from my bank in the Netherlands ( i do not own a credit card).
i really wish to see a solution to this, i know variables in to/cc/bcc are not built in to avoid use of the form as a generator for spam. but this is needed for a closed internet service, where security employees need to report to eg police, fire brigade in a certain town, so the email addresses differ constantly, depending on where they are.
i appreciate your help a lot!
and i also enjoyed reading your blog, esp. about taste (one of the most recent).

Not sure if you really want what the previous poster is asking for: to have the same form (input) sent to several destinations simultaneously per user choice (checkboxes)?
If so, right that's not supported, however you can have a multi-recipient drop down with groups of recipients,eg:
dropdown entries a,b,c… where each group consist of multiple recipients.
You can even change the admin TO: address on the fly in my-functions.php if you need to, just look for:
if ( $setting == "adminTO" ){11:35 am
thanks oliver, but the client is getting angry with me. :'(
he needs email boxes to be filled out like so, in the form:
Send this form also to:
recipient 1 : ________________
recipient 2 : ________________
recipient 3 : ________________
he emphasized it to be input boxes, not checkboxes, not dropdowns.
it really has to be input boxes with correct email check, i made those but the cc/bcc fields do NOT accept variables.
that is ALL i need.

You client is asking for something that's primarily custom work/coding and only pays you worth an hour?? I'd personally walk away form such an 'opportunity'.
Anyway, like I said in the email and above, what your client wants is not supported and even if they wanted to take the security risk, it'd still be quite a bit of custom development work for an experienced coder, roughly 2-3 hours with testing. Just sayin'
