How to set up an e-mail for Contact us form?

Permalink
Hi!
I have checked the Contact us form sending a message to myself, but I haven't got any. It looks like the set up of email address is missing. How can I set up the email address to get messages?

I need to get a message to my email address when a guest writes me via the Contact form.
I made my own trials - I can find the messages under the REPORTs/ FORM RESULTS, but I can not get any notifications about it.

If adding your email to the block didn't help, your server might not be sending emails at all. Trying going to concrete5 settings and under email method change it to SMTP, and provide it some credentials (you could use gmail for example).

Ok it looks like you're using c5.6 which I've never used. But as far as SMTP settings, it says the connection timed out, so the credentials aren't working.

Trying changing the security to SSL, and the port to 465. Save the settings then test them out. Let me know if that works for you.

By the way, not sure if its required for gmails smtp to work, but you can try enabled "allow less secure apps":
https://support.google.com/accounts/answer/6010255?hl=en...

For example, you have to enable that to hook gmail into a email application like outlook, so mines already enabled but I was able to send smtp email successfully using my gmail login, smtp.gmail.com, port 465 and SSL security.

Oh and last thing to mention, not sure if it matters but you may try setting the receiver of the test email to something other than the email address using to send the email via smtp. I've never tried sending a test email the same email that its using to send the email in the first place, so sending the test email to a different address than the one your using for smtp setting is another thing you could try.

sounds like a bit risky

Not risky really, gmail just wants you to use their apps instead of a third party.

Add this line of code to your site.php file
define('FORM_BLOCK_SENDER_EMAIL', 'youremail@yourdomain.com');

change youremail@yourdomain.com to your own email address.

but where?
Tato replied on at Permalink Reply

but where to find the "ftp program , a software"? in the MAC itself?
meswaramarco replied on at Permalink Reply
@Tato,

its high time you start to learn to use google.
For example to learn about ftp software for the MAC,

Use a browser ( like Safari ) and search for "Mac ftp software"

Example - copy and paste this link into your browser

https://www.google.com/search?q=mac+ftp+software&ie=utf-8&oe...

what i do not understand why i need ftp program to fix the bug in the concreate5 contact form?
meswaramarco replied on at Permalink Reply

did i understand correctly that I have to download the external ftp program in accordance to fix the problem?
meswaramarco replied on at Permalink Reply
Yes.

Any method that will allow you to edit site.php in your config directory is good. If the ftp stuff is too difficult for you, you could use the file manager that your webhost provides to edit the file.
You could also maybe email your webhost and ask them to edit the file for you?
Just think " I need to edit that site.php"

2. I have downloaded ftp program; now its asking me additional FTP info ( check the attachment). can you help with that?
