Q: Everything works fine, but no email is sent out. (only version < 3.9.0)
A: Try to add this into your TS-template (setup):
plugin.tx_thmailformplus_pi1.emailParameter = -f automailer@yourdomain.com
As email address you have to insert a valid address that exists on the server. Some providers only send out emails having this additional parameter.
Since version 3.9.0 the TYPO3 API mail function is used so this TS setting got obsolete.
Q: After upgrading the email is not sent and no redirection is taking place after submitting the form.
A: Make sure you have added the hidden field called “submitted” with the value “1” to your form.
Still not working? Did you attach the modified HTML-Template to the mailformplus element after changing it? Because the system works with a copy of the original HTML-Template!
Q: The email is sent two times.
A: Should be fixed since 3.0.3 – if not: in some cases the problem seems to be connected with the “autoparser” functionality.
Since 3.9.0 TYPO3 API mail function is used – should also stop multiple mails to be sent.
Q: I want to export the submitted fields via the mailformplus backend module as CSV file. But i can't get it out in one file (it tells me that several different forms were found and saved)
A: This happens if you use CHECKBOXES in your form. Please use the new functionality (since 3.1) to save the submitted data into a database table of your own choice. (see manual)
Q: The system seems to work – i get redirected to the page i configured – but i don't receive an email:
A: Make sure the “email sender” is a vaild domain that is hosted on the server. (Some mailservers are configured like this that they don't allow you to send emails from a domain that is not hosted on the server – this is for safety reasons because otherwise you could be able to send e.g. From @ibm.com or something like this)
Q: I'm using mailformplus several times within one project. When i change something within the form, i have to search end edit all mailformplus elements -is there a better solution to this?
A: Yes! Since 3.5.0 you can define all fields you normally fill out in the mailformplus element in TypoScript. See section “General TypoScript” for more information. Tipp: you have to leave the fields blank in the mailformplus element in order that the TypoScript defaultvalues are taken.
Q: Is it also possible to save two pictures?
A: Yes – see example in previous section
Q: Can i specify mulitple emailaddresses where the submitted form should be sent to?
A: yes: just write a “,” seperated list of the recipients in the “send formular to this email” field.
Q: Can i use more than one mailformplus on one page?
A: This is not tested – that might depend on how you have the different formulars defined. If two formulars have the same name this won't work. Just give it a try and let me know :)
Q: I have added a fileupload button, but the file is not sent along with the email to the admin ?
A: Make sure you use the correct marker within the mail. Check your TypoScript if the fieldConf.[fieldname].fileUpload setting point so to an existing directory.
