Formbuilder error: Email

Post by iguana »

I installed formbuilder and when I attempt to use a form, I get the following message:

"Sorry! There was an error handling your form submission."

It doesn't send an email (obviously).

Here is where the contact page is located:

Thanks in advance for your help!

Did you set an email send to address in the first line of Formbuilder?

You may want to add this line to your CSS...

.formbuilderform textarea {width: 350px}

Thanks for the quick response!

I'm not sure what you mean by "in the first line of Formbuilder." However, I did go to Extensions-->Form Builder and then clicked on "Comments" (what I named the form) and in there I have a submit form field that is set to email to my email address. Do I need to add my email to another place for it to work?

I have enjoyed working with CMSMS the past couple of days. It has been very easy to learn. Thanks for your help.  :)

CMS Mailer has a test for sending email, have you used it to see if you can "send mail" ?

No surprise but I am confused. CMS mailer is a wrapper that is used within conjunction to the form mail. How do I test the email and how do I add to form mail.

thanks to everyone

I checked the MCSmailer module, and test emails work. But I still get the "Sorry! There was an error handling your form submission." message after submitting. What did you mean with:
Did you set an email send to address in the first line of Formbuilder?
Is it not sufficient to use the "Email results to set address(es)" field and fill out the "Destination Email Address" field with the address you want the forms to be sent to?

Thanks!

I've had similar problems as what you've written about. I spent quite some time trying to sort it out.

What I discovered in my situation was that I had specified a
"From address" for email:
in the FormBuilder module that wasn't on the same domain as the server where my website is hosted. Changing the email address there to a domain email address suddenly made the form work for me.
