CMS Mailer - Changing default feedback message

Post by electricelephant »

Hi there

I've just installed CMSMailer and it's all working, but I would like to be able to change the default feedback message "Your message was successfully sent." I can't for the life of me see where I do this.

I basically want to change the message so that a link/button is included, so I don't leave the user in a dead end.

Would appreciate any help.

Cath

P.S. I'm really liking CMSMS - it's really user friendly so far - thanks!

Cath,

I use FormBuilder as a module for my contact-form mails. That one has a parameter for a page to be opened after sending the mail. For simpler contact-forms I use the tag {contact_form}, but that doens't have the thanks-page option.

Thanks Ronny :)

I did eventually find where the message is kept - I was looking in totally the wrong place, it's in:

plugins/function_contact_form.php

I changed the message, but it's still not a great page as it has no template and I'm not sure it's possible to add one - FormBuilder here I come!

function_contact_form.php is the tag I mentioned, you can use it with the calling {contact_form ....}. All fuction****.php files in the plugin directory, end up under "Tag", where you can see the help of the tags.

Yeah, contact_form is a cheap and easy tag.  it uses hardcoded strings, has no templates, and is generally very very simple. 

Formbuilder is orders of magnitude better.
