Custom Form

[delan10]

Hello

I use the custom mailform provided by cmsimple wiki (see original code below).

<TEXTAREA style="WIDTH: 101.34%; HEIGHT: 275px" rows=14>
#CMSimple // Custom mailform for CMSimple version 2.4
$reciever='somebody@somedomain.dk';
$message="\n\nThis is an automatic generated mail.\n\nSincerely\nThe Webmaster";
$recievermessage="\n\nThis is an automatic generated mail.";
// Define your field names and add extra lines for select options
// Use _ for spaces
$fields=array('name','adress','zip','Define_your_own','email');
$select['adress']=array('none','elephant','cow','tiger');
$tx['mailform']['recieptnotsend']="Could not send reciept.";
// DO NOT CHANGE CODE BELOW!
function mtr($tk){if (is_array($GLOBALS['select'][$tk]))$t=select($tk); else $t='<input type="text" class="text" name="'.$tk.'" value="'.$GLOBALS[$tk].'">';
return '<tr><td>* '.ucfirst(preg_replace('/\_/',' ',$tk)).'</td><td>'.$t.'</td></tr>';}
function select($tk){$t='';foreach($GLOBALS['select'][$tk] as $i){$t.='<option value="'.$i.'"';
if($GLOBALS[$tk]==$i)$t.=' selected';
$t.='>'.$i.'</option>';} return '<select class="text" name="'.$tk.'">'.$t.'</select>';}
$t='';$mailbody='';
if($action=='send'){foreach($fields as $i){initvar($i);if($GLOBALS[$i]=='')$e.='<li>You need to write '.$i;else $mailbody.=$i.': '.$GLOBALS[$i]."\n";}if(!(eregi("^[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*@[_a-z0-9-]+(\.[_a-z0-9-]+)*(\.([a-z]{2,4}))+$",$email)))$e.='<li>'.$tx['error']['mustwritemail'].'.';else if($e==''){initvar('txtarea');$mailbody.=$txtarea;if(!(@mail($reciever,'Mailform from '.sv('SERVER_NAME'),$mailbody.$recievermessage,"From: ".$email."\r\n"."X-Remote: ".sv('REMOTE_ADDR')."\r\n")))$e.=tag('li').$tx['mailform']['notsend'];else {$t=tag('p').$tx['mailform']['send'].tag('/p');if(!(@mail($email,'Copy of mailform from '.sv('SERVER_NAME'),$mailbody.$message,"From: ".$reciever."\r\n"."X-Remote: ".sv('REMOTE_ADDR')."\r\n")))$e.='<li>'.$tx['mailform']['recieptnotsend'];}}}if($t==''||$e!=''){

$output=preg_replace('/<textarea.*textarea>/is',$t,$c[$s]);#
</TEXTAREA>

Some problems / requests :

1/ With IE the form keeps too small, whatever the “cols” value I specify.
This is curious because the with Firefox everything is OK : the form gets larger when the cols value is higher...

2/ How to add a captcha to this form ?

3/ By default all the fields are required. How to change this ?

Thanks in advance for your help.
And sorry for my poor english...

Hi dilan10

It is shown in CMSimple Wiki how to insert a mailform of your own choice, I am sure you also can add a captcha to it.

Thank you very much.
I'll have a look to your link, but I'm afraid I'm not competent enough for these kind of work...

I'd prefer to stick with the above code, which suits my needs well except for some details.
Can someone explain me why firefox understands the "cols" value while IE does not ?
This is the most annoying thing for me, because it makes the form much too small on the page and this is not very beautiful !

[ZiPs]

Thats ok, but here is what I have done with cols

In code below in the mailform, there is a class text set the width in templates css,

Code: Select all

<input type="text" class="text" name="'.$tk.'" value="'.$GLOBALS[$tk].'">

if you dont have this class ind css make this and change 350 to you width

Code: Select all

.text {width:350px;}

Thanks for your help but I don't understand what you mean !
Where shall I specify the width ?
Can you please give me the whole code with the modification ?

[ZiPs]

Of course, here are all code with a width of 350px

As you can see, I have added style="width: 350px" in mailformen then you do not have to change your css

Code: Select all

Great ! Thank you

Do you know if some of these attributes could work for the form : margin-left, padding-left, align ?

And do you know how to choose whether a particular field should be required or allowed to be left empty ?

[ZiPs]

Yes they're also work in form, they must be in a style or class to your stylesheet

Unfortunately, I do not think you can change required field
