make a form to go to a different email address

Hi,

I've copied the contact form in order to make an additional and different type of form. It's all working well BUT... I need the form to go to a different email address than the original contact form.

Does anyone know how to hardcode for that? Currently the contact form goes to a drop down list (set in the Admin). Is there a way to delete the code from the new tpl_newform.php and just hard code an address or two?

Here are the 2 page areas that I think need help:

tpl_pagename_default.php

v<?php // show dropdown if set if (CONTACT_US_LIST !=''){ ?>
<label class="inputLabel" for="send-to"><?php echo SEND_TO_TEXT; ?></label>

header.php (for the new page)

// use contact us dropdown if defined
if (CONTACT_US_LIST !=''){
$send_to_array=explode("," ,CONTACT_US_LIST);
preg_match('/<[^>]+>/', $send_to_array[$_POST['send_to']], $send_email_array);
$send_to_email= eregi_replace (">", "", $send_email_array[0]);
$send_to_email= eregi_replace ("<", "", $send_to_email);
$send_to_name = preg_replace('/<[^]/', '', $send_to_array[$_POST['send_to']]);
} else { //otherwise default to EMAIL_FROM and store name
$send_to_email = EMAIL_FROM;
$send_to_name = STORE_NAME;
}

Maybe I'm way off?! :blink: Thanks.

I showed someone how to do exactly that in this older thread: http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.php?4855-custom-forms-data-collection
You'll see the discussion and if you follow it far enough you'll see exactly what you need to do.

The newer posts in that thread (last 6 months) have gotten quite off topic and unfortunately have nothing to do with the original question anymore. But the stuff before that will be useful to you.

thank you Dr. Byte.

Here is what I did - it's working.

Defined in the incl/template/yourtemplatename/templates/tpl_newname_default.php

define('SEND_TO_ADDRESS','[email protected] ');
removed: define('SEND_TO_TEXT','Send Email To:');

modifed as follows in the includes/modules/pages/newpagename/header.php

// use contact us dropdown if defined
if (CONTACT_US_LIST ==''){
$send_to_array=explode("," ,CONTACT_US_LIST);
preg_match('/<[^>]+>/', $send_to_array[$_POST['send_to']], $send_email_array);
$send_to_email= eregi_replace (">", "", $send_email_array[0]);
$send_to_email= eregi_replace ("<", "", $send_to_email);
$send_to_name = preg_replace('/<[^]/', '', $send_to_array[$_POST['send_to']]);
} else { //otherwise default to EMAIL_FROM and store name - CHANGED TO SENDTOADDRESS and defined in credit_application.php
$send_to_email = SEND_TO_ADDRESS;
$send_to_name = STORE_NAME;
}

This seems to be working for my form. I had to mark the (CONTACT_US_LIST!='') to (CONTACT_US_LIST=='') in the above section because the site is using a list. This doesn't seem like the right way to do it, but it worked for me. If anyone wants to tell me the correct way to code this, it would be appreciated. Thanks!!

You probably could have deleted that whole section of code and just kept this part: ```
$send_to_email = SEND_TO_ADDRESS;
$send_to_name = STORE_NAME;

thanks! I'll try that.
