Version 1.3 certainly  supports multiple textareas, some earlier version didn't. Did you download 1.3?

Well that's a little embarassing. I thought I upgraded and I hadn't... All is well, thank you TobyL

As you can see the submit button and i moved the error code below the submit button are both below and behind my footer so you can't seem them and I don't know why?  Any thoughts?  I'm using the Animetor-Metal template that Susan made and helped me tweak I just can't figure out why it's doing that here is my form code:

That has nothing to do with eForm and everything to do with your template... It looks like the middle column is of a fixed height and does not have the overflow set to scroll or auto. Fix your css and the form will show.  And if you can't work it out place a question in an appropriate forum...

I installed eForm 1.3 (downloaded from the repository) and folowed the example exactly as in the docs, but what i get is:

« MODx Parse Error »
MODx encountered the following error while attempting to parse the requested resource:
« PHP Parse Error »

PHP error debug
  Error: Invalid argument supplied for foreach()
  Error type/ Nr.: Warning - 2
  File: c:\arquivos de programas\easyphp1-8\www\modx\assets\snippets\eform\eform.inc.php
  Line: 49
  Line 49 source: foreach($formats as $k => $discard) $fields[$k] = ""; // store dummy value inside $fields

Any help in what may be the problem?
Thanks!

The placeholders are 'targets' for eForm to fill with data, while the snippet call is a source to supply eFrom with data.  I don't know if you ever could use these placeholders in the snippet call.. Where would eForm get the data from? The eForm placeholders are used in the report, autotext and report template  and (generated by the form parser) in the form template. 

&from needs one or more  regular email addresses, while &fromname expects a real name. You can leave them empty in which case they will be filled with the 'email sender' and the 'site name' as set in the MODx configuration.

Hmmm, yeah, what you say makes sense. It's just that the [+name+], [+email+] and [+subject+] placeholders did work as call parameters in version 1.2.... and [+subject+] can still be used as such... guess I got a little confused 

Toby et al,

Here's a link to the original hack by Garryn that allowed subject/from/fromname to come from eform fields. It's really handy and I can attest that it works well.

Thanks, I'll have a look at it and see if I can add it in.

Am I the only to one to find the archive not as it ' supposed to be ' ?

 Here's what I got into the zip for ver 1.3

/eform
 |___/docs (empty)
 |---/lang (empty)
...and what is described into the documentation

/eformx
 |___/docs (empty)
                                  |---/snippets
/webroot
 |___/modx0902
         |---/html
                 |---/assets
                          |---/html
                                  |---/snippets
                                           |---/eform
                                                   |---/docs (empty)
                                                   |---/lang (empty)

1st "eform"content looks like being the real stuff.. is that right ?

What should be done with the 2 other forlders and subs ??

Thanks

Hmmm well,... you can blame me and winzip for that I'm afraid. I just tested this out and I get the same folders when extracting the zip. However in the Winzip dialog the empty folders are not visible. (They are a remnant of me trying something out - teaches me to re-use a winzip archive by deleting and then adding stuff )

Sorry about that... I'll see if I can find some different archive software for the future and I've now re-upload a version without all the extra bits (I hope ).

And yes, all you need is what's in and below the eform folder. All the empty folders can be deleted.

Somebody forgot to take care of the $replyto in the AddAddressToMailer function. Here's the corrected function (line 352 of eform.inc.php)

Code:

# Adds Addresses to Mailer
function AddAddressToMailer(&$mail,$type,$addr){
$a = explode(",",$addr);
for($i=0;$i<count($a);$i++){
if(!empty($a[$i])) {
if ($type=="to") $mail->AddAddress($a[$i]);
elseif ($type=="cc") $mail->AddCC($a[$i]);
elseif ($type=="bcc") $mail->AddBCC($a[$i]);
elseif ($type=="replyto") $mail->AddReplyTo($a[$i]);
}
}

}

Thanks for that Susan.. I've updated it in the repository.

[kms_cms]

Hi,

Can you please supply us with some details on your setup?

Things like version of eForm and MODx used, etc

Yes i can 
Eform - 1.3 latest version (I download her 03.10.06)
MODx - 0.9.2 (rev 1005)
PHP Version 4.4.2
Server - Apache
safe_mode On
System - FreeBSD

What to tell ?

The error appears after sending the message, but the letter comes .
But message subject : 0
the body message is present

[[eForm? &formid=`feedbackForm` &to=`admin@site.com` &tpl=`eFeedBackForm` &report=`eFeedbackReport` &mailselector=`department` &vericode=`1` &subject="Сообщение с сайта" ]]

[rthrash]

I believe its an incompatibility with safe_mode being on and the mail function, but not 100% certain.

[xwisdom]

There's an error in your code:

Change

&subject="Сообщение с сайта"

to

&subject=`Сообщение с сайта`
