ForwardMailing with a multitude of email-Addresses copy/paste (inst. of 5 single)

[Mich___]

[Modified to include new questions]

Hi, I have following question:
The ForwardMailing Template is now set to 5 email addresses which have to be added separately.
We would like to  have one field where we would be able to copy paste an unlimited amount of
emails addresses in one step. Is there a template for such a thing, or how how would I alter ForwardMailing.tpl
to make this work? Right now, each email-entry-field only allows one email-address.

This is the function that runs the Form

Code: [Select]

  public function buildQuickForm() {
    for ($i = 0; $i < 5; $i++) {
      $this->add('text', "email_$i", ts('Email %1', array(1 => $i + 1)));
      $this->addRule("email_$i", ts('Email is not valid.'), 'email‘);
 }   
I tried to change the addRule to 'emailList', which I could find in other forms:
$this->addRule('cc_receipt', ts('Please enter a valid list of comma delimited email addresses'), 'emailList');
but I will get a QuickForm Error: the rule does not exist as a registered rule.

Code: [Select]

  public function buildQuickForm() {
    for ($i = 0; $i < 1; $i++) {
      $this->add('text', "email_$i", ts('Email %1', array(1 => $i + 1)));
      $this->addRule("email_$i", ts('Please enter a valid list of comma delimited email addresses'), 'emailList');
 }
Unf. this does not work (I set the loop to 1 instead of 5 and changed the ts and 'emailList').
Any hints why 'emailList' is interpreted as "not registered rule"?

Best regards, M.

you will need to modify both the template and the corresponding php file

An easier/simpler mechanism might be to create your own "forwarding code" and use that instead of civi's and do so as an extension

if you do any of the above, please share your changes so others can benefit

thanx
