Title: Anyform plugin
Post by: bledi on January 28, 2018, 16:00:43

Hello
I am trying to create a form of terms and consitions accept using a email form.
I need that the contract or terms and conditions to be part of the input item form, so to receive it in the email together wit the other items name, telephone, email etc..
I was trying "custom item"  none of the items can include the contract itself (2 pages) to be input form element. Is rhat any way to do that
Thanks in advance

"custom" form type is only to display html code inside form. You cannot get this text in the email. You only get as result the input form elements like text, select, radio, etc. I trick that you can try is to write the terms inside a "textarea" element and hide it with css.

<item type="textarea" name="comments" label="Terms and Conditions" default="" tip="" class="elx_invisible"><![CDATA[Blah blah blah]]></textarea>

Title: Anyform plugin - Form resubmission control
Post by: nikos on April 06, 2018, 00:45:48

In a form published only for registered users, I would like to control if it has been submitted by a user so in case that the user attempts to resubmit the same form, to see a message "you have already submitted this form".

Is it possible to include this useful option in a next plugin update?

@Blacksoll: This is not an AnyForm issue. RFC2822 says that the e-mail subject length should not be more than 78 characters per line. Different mail clients may handle this restriction differently.

I post a reply of a PM here for anyone interested in.
By default AnyForm does not allow "questions" of more than 25 characters in email texts.  If more than 25 characters is strips them to 25 characters. To change this open this file:

components/com_content/plugins/anyform/anyform.plugin.php

go at the end of file in line 1411 and change this:
$text .= eUTF::substr($left_string, 0, $left_width).':';

to this:
$text .= $left_string.":\n";
