Standalone form email notification
May 11, 2007, 01:07:42 pm
I have create a profile form with custom data and everything works great - Yeah!!

The only down side is that I need an email of the information submitted to be sent to me as well as my database.  Am I missing something that would make this happen?  Thanks.

Cindy - There is no "built-in" way to do this yet (this feature is on the "possibles" list for 1.8). However, this functionality can be coded into a simple module (if you're using Drupal) which takes advantage of our hook system.

A sample of the code is included in the CiviCRM distribution:
civicrm/drupal/civitest.module.sample

Actually I am using Joomla.  Is there anything I can do with this?  I am using a standalone form that I copied and pasted into the clients html page and tried adding a hidden recipient but it didn't seem to work.

you can also implement the same in joomla using the joomla hook. i.e. you'll need to implement joomla_civicrm_post( ) etc.

This will require some developer time at your end and a bit of php code. if you are not a developer, you might want to contact your local php developer and/or someone from the civicrm professional list (http://civicrm.org/professional/)

Lobo is there any documentation that will help me figure this out?

I have spent so much time trying to get civicrm working for this client.  I discovered the first time I tried to get it working - unsuccessfully - that the problems I had were due to her host.  With a  new host everything has been going great.  And now this?  bummer.  With all the problems I had before when we were with the other host I discovered that most of the professionals either didn't answer, didn't work with Joomla, or were way to expensive.  I can probably do this myself with the help of some documentation.  Thanks
