Description

eForm is a highly flexible form parser which allows you to easily build forms and send the results to one or more email addresses. The main features are:

  • Form validation using powerful validation rules
  • Protection of hidden fields against tampering
  • Captcha support
  • Supports html email with attachments
  • Flexible report & page generation using placeholders
  • Notification to mobile devices
  • auto-respond email
  • Support for CC and BCC fields
  • Extendable using eform events
  • Some protection against mail injection

Instructions

  • Unzip the downloaded zip file into the assets/snippet/ folder. You should now have an extra folder called eform.
  • Create a new snippet, name it eForm and copy and paste the content of the eform.snippet.tpl file
  • Read eform/docs/eform.htm and the examples
  • Drop the eForm snippet into page and add parameters as you require

Updates

  • New: Extra parameter &sessionVars to add session variables to the field values
  • New: Extra parameters &sendAsHtml and &sendAsText - force email messages to be in Html or text only format.
  • Fixed: &debug parameter wasn't doing anything
  • Fixed: changed erroneous&isDebug to correct &debug parameter in documentation
  • Fixed: Returning 'foreach' error when chunk or document not found for form template
  • Fixed: Erroneous error when using multiple forms on a page ($formats persisted between eForm calls)
  • Updated: Events now work using the &eFormOnBeforeMailSent and &eFormOnMailSent paramaters.
  • Updated: can now be used in report and thank you templates
  • Updated: When using a document for the templates the document no longer needs to have published set
  • New: Show error if &tpl is set to the same document (id) containing the eForm snippet call
  • New: extended debug messages for validated fields (if &debug is set)
  • New: added some protection against mail injection
  • New: &reportAbuse parameter - send 'abuse alert' mail to if mail injection is noticed
  • New: You can now use <form id="formName"...> to match your &formid=`formName` instead of <input type="hidden" name="formid" value="formName" />
  • New: You can now set the description using the label tag instead of in the eform attribute
  • New: Added &disclaimer parameter for adding a disclaimer to the email body.
  • Optimized: moved form parser code so it is only executed when form is posted
  • Updated: You can again use placeholders in &from and &fromname (as you can with &subject and &keywords)

  • Updated: It is now possible to use special placeholders in #SELECT validation rule
  • New: you can now use the #LIST validation rule for file type checking with file uploads

  • New Example: How to use eform events
  • New Example: Multiple forms on one page
