MPForm Documentation: E-Mail Settings (confirmation mail to user)
Level of difficulty: B
- "To" address
-
Each page with content in this field tries to send a confirmation mail to the sender after a form has been submitted successfully. In multi page forms this only makes sense on the last page of the series. On all other pages of a multi page form this field should be left blank.
To ask the user for his own email address you need to use a field of type E-Mail-Address and select this one here. - "From" address
- This is the email address which the user sees when he receives the confirmation mail.
You have the choice between specifying a fixed address or you select a field of the type
E-Mail-receipient, which acts as a sender in the context of the confirmation mail.
You can also select the default server email as the sender, which may be the
smartest setting when you have to deal with strict constraints to avoid being rated as spammer.
- "From" name
- This is the sender's name which the user sees when he receives the confirmation mail. Also here you have the choice between a fixed name or the name which is associated with an E-Mail-Receipient field.
- Subject
- This is the Subject header line of the email. There is a field type E-Mail Subject (Suffix). If you use this type of field in your form, its content will be appeded to the content of the subject defined here in the backend. You can insert place holders of the form {FIELD42}, which let you insert the value submitted by that field for the place holder.
- Text
- This is the real content of the email. Place holders will be replaced by the content.
{DATA} stands for the entire user input.
{REFERER} contains the page from where the user has accessed the form, {DATE} is the current date,
{USER} contains the user name in case the user is registered and logged into website baker
and {EMAIL} is the From address as it is adjusted above. You can insert place holders of the form
{FIELD42}, which let you insert the value submitted by that field for the place holder.
- Success Email Style
- Here you can define CSS classes to be applied in the HTML version of the email.
In order to apply those on specific field types, in the special settings the place holder {CLASSES} must be present in the corresponding
template. Of course they are not applied to the plain text variant of the mail.
