Hi,
is it possible to use the content of a field inside the from-attribute for the
Code: Select all
<cms:send_mail>


Cheers
Hi,

Assuming your field is named 'my_text', you can use its value in any param like this -
Code: Select all
<cms:send_mail from=my_text>
or
<cms:send_mail from="<cms:show my_text />">

Notice the lack of quotes in the first example and the presence of double-quotes in the second.
Please see https://docs.couchcms.com/concepts/sett ... eters.html if you need to know why the distinction is important.

Hope this helps.
I would add that if your editable field is on some other template, fetch it with the 'cms:get_field' tag e.g.
Code: Select all
from="<cms:get_field 'address' masterpage='contact.php' />"

Hi,

in the send_mail is the field `frm_mail` used. But I can't find this input here.
And if I change it to `mail` like the input which should use for this than I get a empty sender in the email.
Is there another possibility from where the sendmail gets the input value?

I'm a little bit confused!

The main problem is that some emails are rejected from the server if there is a gmail adress in from.
Is there a possibility to use `reply to` in send_mail? I havn't see this in the docs.

Cheers
A quote from Documentation Tags Reference » form

Suppose a form has two fields named name and password. Upon successful validation of both fields, two variables named after the two fields will get set - frm_name and frm_password. Each will contain the value submitted through them.


Does this clear the confusion?

As to the second problem, the documentation indeeds needs some love. I'm contributing new articles and refresh old articles with new params, examples and tips in Midware » Tags, but unfortunately, tag 'send_mail' was not touched yet.

Tag send_mail does support following parameters: from, reply_to, sender. These can be looked up in the Couch source code, but I have checked and you can use them, the headers 'Reply-To' and 'Sender' will be set.
Hi,
yes it solved my confusion :)
Thanks!
