Hi Aram, never had to use a special kind of contact form...now i do. Not realy a contact form, it's an upload form. I need users to upload there stories and photo's to the contentmanager. In fact that's my question..How can i create a submission admin part in the CMS. ( like the one used in the userdefinedform,i just don't need all the 'stuff' that it brings ). I do hope you're willing to take this great tut to a next level ;)

@jcwacky: To have line breaks appear correctly in the e-mail, add the following before populating the template. // transform line breaks into '
' tags $line_breaks = array("\r\n", "\n", "\r"); $data['Comments']=str_replace($line_breaks, '
', $data['Comments']);

Hi Aram, I have an urgent question that I hope you can answer. I am using a multi step form module on SS 2.4 and i am hoping for the inputs from the multi step form to be directed to specific tables in a database which is hosted in Cpanel (PhpMyAdmin). Is this step remotely possible? If it is, could you give a rough idea on how to achieve it?

Hi Thomas, that sounds very strange, not come accross that problem before. You could try escaping the data before passing it to the template like so: $data['Comments'] = htmlentities($data['Comments']; Let me know if that helps, Aram

Hi Aram, Thanks for a nice tutorial. I'm trying to use the SendContactForm function and everything works fine except that special characters looks VERY special. Maybe they do get double encoded or something... I have tried different kind of encoding on the data array, but since it is an array it doesn't work and set the charset to UTF-8 in the header: $Header = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n" . 'Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8' . "\r\n" . 'Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable' . "\r\n"; $email = new Email($From, $To, $Subject, $Header); Is this a known problem when sending data posted in a form like this? Or is it just me? :) This is how my characters look like: Ãœ Ã¥ Ã¥ If anybody here have experienced similar behaviour, and found a solution to it. It would be great if you could share some of your experience.

Will you be updating this to work with SS3?

Hi DoubleONeill, Try a HeaderField() or a LiteralField(), they should do the trick :) Aram

Hi Aram, I've set up a contact form similarly to the way you have in this example but it's very lengthy and needs breaking up. I want to add subheadings to sections of the form and wanted to know what method you'd recommend. All I can think of is embedding some html tags in the contactpage when setting up the new form fields. For example new TextField('Field', '

This is the subheader

'question'), It doesn't seem the neatest method and through my limited experience i'm sure this can bring problems later on. Thanks, DoubleONeill

sfimedia - You would either need to store it as a DataObject accociated to the contact page, or pass the $data back into the template when you render the page after submission: $templateData = array( 'FormData' => $data ); return $this->customise($templateData); Then you can use $FormData.Comments in the template to display the comment.

Hi Aram The reason I need the information to be passed is that I am creating a posting label with details that need to be printed by user. So when the email has been sent I can setup the submitted in a printable page format. Hope this is clear. I have tried a number of things to get the information to show but I think I am a little lost. Steve
