email receipt won't work

[mikesimaska]

I've tried a number of variation on a form submission plug-in to try to get Fabrik to send an email to an element of a form (strangely enough named email).

I tried the receipt plug-in using

email
{email}

I tried using the email plug-in using

,{email} on the same line as a working email address

Also tried creating a 2nd submission plug-in with only
{email} as the "email to" address.

I tried 4 different address at different domains to see if it was getting spam filtered.

But it just won't expand that field into an email address.

Ideas?

try

{tablename___elementname}

rather than simply

{elementname}

if you aren't recording to a database use

{___elementname}

No progress on this. I created a test table and form with just a few fields. I tried both the email and receipt plug-in with {tablename___elementname} with no success. Fabrik does generate emails to the hard-coded email address. Its just not expanding the {} address.

I seem to be having the same issue - I'm wanting to send a receipt on form submission. The email is sent fine if an email address is entered into the receipt to field. The form is being saved to table 'applications'. If I use {Contact_Email} or {applications___Contact_Email} or {___Contact_Email} in the 'to' field nothing is sent. The element in the form has the ID 'applications___Contact_Email' - so I guess that would be the one to use but nothing comes through. The email is being sent fine to the 'email' action.

Also what is odd is even if I select the USERCHOOSESRECEIPT to yes and click apply or save it just goes back to no.

Any ideas?
