[Solved] FormBuilder as a simple downloadmanager?

Post by lone »

Hello

I would like to use FormBuilder as a simple downloadmanager, if possible.

-------------------------------------------------------
The action wanted:
When a user submits a form, I would like FormBuilder to send 2 emails:
1 email to the user who submitted the form, with a link to the download.
1 email to the owner of the site as a notification of submit on the site.
(link in mail is autocreated from alias of the page the form is on. this works fine)
-------------------------------------------------------

I have set up a simple form with name and email address.

Email address is set up with 'Email "From Address" Field, and send copy' option.

'Send User a Copy of Submission?' is set to always.

This will send a copy email to the user who filled out the form.

As sender I can choose:
"From" email address
"Reply-To" email address
Both "From" and "Reply-To" email addresses

This will send the email to the user, with the users own email address as the sender of the email. This is not what I want, so this choice is obviously not the right one....

I would like the site´s email (as defined in CMSMailer) to be both "From" and "Reply-To" email address, for both the emails sent.

Is this possible with FormBuilder?
Suggestions would be very welcome.

Regards, Lone

Lone,

I tried this and got the same results as you. However, I wonder if this could be done with a UDT? Here's an article I found on using a UDT with Form Builder: http://www.i-do-this.com/blog/88/FormBu ... a-variable

It's doing something different than you want, but it seems like it would be pretty easy to tweak the code and accomplish your goals.

Hi Angela, thanks for answering.

Actually I found the solution with FormBuilder. I chose *Email to User-Supplied Email Address, which sends a mail to the address the user provides. The mail is now sent with the sites CMSMailer address as sender, which is what I wanted.

Regards, Lone
