1.1. Powermail Introduction

What does it do?

Powermail is a powerful and – in addition – a very easy mailform extension with IRRE technics and a high flexibilty for the user. You can very easily define your form fields in the backend and get an output without html knowledge.

Powermail offers many features like automatic database storing (and additional database storing to any db table) for every page. Individual Excel and CSV export possible in own backend modul.

Different HTML templates and RTE fields in backend for sender (email), receiver (email), form, fields, thx- and error message.

Powermail can send mails to more fe- or be-users or to only one email address, field values can be prefilled from logged in fe_user and all datas will be stored in a session (so the user can come back later and finish form filling)

A javascript validation checks values of fields, simple define in backend what to check (check for mandatory, numbers only, etc..)

You can validate (with php) every field value (auto or regulare expressions).

It's possible to select the mail receiver in frontend.

You can use captcha, sr_freecap or wt_spamshield against spam in your forms.

Powermail offers morestep forms (if wanted) and works with date2cal and static_info_tables and many more...
