Custom Email Form

[Eric Fidler]

I've been looking to make a custom feedback form--- the default form doesn't suffice for my purposes. Since mail() is disabled, does anyone know if there's a substitute? I only want the emails to be sent to me, the network creator.

Thanks.

i Could make this for you i just need the options you want on it like what you want it to ask such as there e-mail,Subject,A text box for them to write want they want to say about the site if this is what you want just tell me here is an example.

Thanks for your help. However, I already have the form designed and the php coded. I just need to know which part of the API sends emails. Is it XG_Message or something?

Hello Eric!

XG_Message is indeed the library that you should use for this functionality. The built in php mail() method will not work.

Cheers!

I just remembered that I've already written one of these before as a short tutorial. I've attached it as a zip file. Check it out!

Cheers!

Is there a simpler method for sending mail? I have the php all coded for a custom page, but I just can't seem to find a way to mail it.

If I try

$message = XG_Message::create($_GET['subject'], $_GET['body']);
$message_sent = $message->send($_GET['to'], $_GET['from']);

I get an error for the included XG_Message.php:

Class 'XG_App' not found in /apps/makeprogress/lib/XG_Message.php

Tried mail_example.zip today but get this error:


Fatal error: Call to undefined method XG_Message::create() in /apps/reeftooutback/widgets/emailer/controllers/IndexController.php on line 50

I checked XG_Message.php and create() doesn't even seem to exist. Did it get removed? If so has it been replaced with an updated function?

I am having the same trouble - the error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method XG_Message::create() in /apps/(etc.) on line 19

using the code from the zip file.

What should it be instead of "$message = XG_Message::create($subject,$msgbody);" if "create()" doesn't exist?

I attached an amended version of Mike's sample which uses XG_Message_Generic.
This works fine.

Beginner here to Ning...Can someone please help me understand what I need to do to create a form and make it email its content to my mailbox? How do I use the codes Jean-Paul provided? I tried creating a page and pasting the codes there, but it doesn't work. Thank you so much in advance!
