Title: Contact Form
Post by: Tank on September 26, 2012, 05:50:22
Did anyone have a chance to test the contact form?

I am using the default settings and default content, just tried to submit the contact form.

I am able to successfully submit:
Code: [Select]
Your message sent successfully. We will reply you are soon as possible. Thank you.
In the contact us article, I modified the content plugin code
Code: [Select]
{contact}tank@swcba.org{/contact}
However, no email is sent to my email.
My inbox is empty and it's not in my spam box.

When I try the "email a friend" feature, it works and I get new mail in inbox. So, I'm assuming the php mail function works but something is missing in contact form?
Has anyone had this issue? Thanks

Always prefer sending emails via SMTP. E-mail sent with the mail function might be caught as spam.
The contact form has been tested and works fine. Also as elxis notifies you that the email was send then php has sent it. This is absolutely sure.
There are many reasons on why the message didn't arrived to your mailbox. SMTP would be a good solution to test. Also try with a different recipient email address.

Hi datahell,

Tried it, turned on smtp and set it up but when when trying to send form through "Contact us" page, after pressing Submit, it refreshes to a blank page.

I get this error from log
Code: [Select]
/home/irontank/takusbox.com/includes/libraries/swift/classes/Swift/Transport/EsmtpTransport.php(197): Swift_Transport_AbstractSmtpTransport->executeCommand('MAIL FROM: executeCommand('MAIL FROM:

Hi,

Somehow, I am still not able to have this work. I have tried php mail, smtp..etc.

Just upgraded elxis install to Rev. 1322. All files are original, except I am using a different template.
Can anyone else let me know if the contact us form works for them?

For Elxis team, if you have time I do not mind if you are free to go in and debug:

SENSITIVE DATA REMOVED


Could it be possible is my host problem? or something else?

Thanks for all the time.

Don't ever leave user/pass on public places if you don't wish every bored kid to login and have fun with your site! Use PM instead.

Hi Ivan,

Haha, I try not to bother the admins or members personally in PM.
takusbox.com used to be my comic website but now is just an empty site which I am using to test Elxis. It is a clean Elxis install and if someone decides to add porn to it.. I just reinstall. xD
Though, thank you for reminding me how sensitive personal information is.

I was able to receive email from Elxis CMS from "Frodo Baggins" However, weird is I did not get email from previous attempts.
Thanks very much for your time!!
