• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

Form email plugin to field - bug?

Hi!

I have 2 lists, 1 with contacts and a second list (form) for whose contacts to report via.

In the second list I have a db join (name) and a Cascading DropDown element (email).

In the report form (second list) I have a form email plug-in. When I test to use a placeholder for the email (CDD) in the "Message text" field, the email address is shown correct in the email that is sent. But if I have the same placeholder in the "Email to" field, no email is sent. Is it a bug?

Regards

Hi!
I use a placeholder like {jos_contact_question__email_id} which works fine if I test to place it in the "Message text" field.
Raw just give the id number if I test it in the "Message text", because its a CDD element.

But {jos_contact_question__email_id} placed in the "email to" field don't send a email.

I didn't mean element_raw.
But is {jos_contact_question__email_id} = "xy@z.com" (which you need in the email to) or is it a mailto link like <a href="mailto:.... which will show up correctly in the message text but can't be used in email to.
In this case you must use the "email to (eval)" to do some string handling or to fetch the email adress via {jos_contact_question__email_id_raw} directly from the DB.
 
I don't really understand, but as I written before {jos_contact_question__email_id} is a CDD element using data (actual emails) from a separate list.
