Hello Community,
what about allowing to preset the subject of the mailform from an URL parameter (if available)? This way the admin could link to the mailform for different specific purposes, and the user must not care to clarify those details that might seem clear for him/her. I mean something like this:
Code: Select all
<a href="?mailform&xh_mailform_subject=Registration>Ask for registration</a>
<a href="?mailform&xh_mailform_subject=Application%20for%20class%202014-06-27>apply for the class on June, 27th, 2014</a>
I'm not sure if that would be overkill for the
built-in mailform, though.
What do you think?
Christoph

You mean to preset the value of the form subject input field by a URL parameter, brilliant idea.

On further consideration I think it is okay to do it for the built-in mailform. In the long run we might consider to turn the built-in mailform to a standard plugin.

Does anybody know, if this (in cms.php,line 834f ) is still actual?
Code: Select all
$pth['file']['search'] = $pth['folder']['cmsimple'] . 'search.php';
$pth['file']['mailform'] = $pth['folder']['cmsimple'] . 'mailform.php';
Neither seach.php nor mailform.php is present (there is a comment in classes/Controller.php line 49ff and a note in
cmsimplewiki).

$pth['file']['search'] is included in the controller if it exists, because Advancedsearch brings a
modified search.php. There may be other modified search.php around.
With regard to $pth['file']['mailform'] I'm not sure why it is still there. It is never included in the core, and actually I don't image that it is used by some other extension/customization. It may have simply been an oversight while refactoring out XH_Mailform. It might be best to keep it (at least) until XH 1.7, anyhow.
