Custom form
Permalink
I need to send back a formatted email with some images and text etc. to whoever submits a custom enquiry form, is there a way I can use the form builder in concrete5 and then edit how it handles the submission? Right now I just hard coded in a form into a new page type, but I won't be able to manage it using the CMS which would be a lot better. Thanks for any help.
...are appreciated!
I don't see a way that works out of the box.
If you need formatted email, they only thing you could get out of concrete5, is using a "standard" weg page... Let concrete5 generate a page for you and build a little script that "sends" that page through an email...
This is what I'm doing right now. I do have some messy code but it's hard coded into the concrete5 core ): needed to modify a lot of stuff in there for that project..
But let me know what you've come up with. This might be useful for other people too.

I see, what I have so far is a custom external form block where all textfields are built using CMS code, and then in the external form controller I have all actions such as an email sent to the web admin, as well as an email that goes out to the user. I realize that none of the submitted content will be visible in the report section of the dashboard, and the external form won't be editable from the CMS...but can I somehow connect the external form submission to the CMS report area? If so that would great.
I would like to do that also
