Image Submission Form
Permalink
I have been tasked by the powers that be to use Concrete5 to create a simple image uploader for customers to use on our public website. I have created a form that works with the basic tools provided with Concrete5 however, now they want the person submitting the image to receive a notification email. How can I make this happen?
Thanks, let's assume for a second that I have no experience with Concrete5 and that I am an idiot. How would one do this? To be honest, I don't think Concrete5 is the ideal solution but it's the tool I have been told to use.
ok you already have a form that does everything you want and uploads your image?
Did you use the standard form block to achieve this?
Do you have any coding experience?
Do you have ftp access to the site?

The site is hosted on my own server so I have file access. I just used the standard form that was already included with Concrete5 and the uploader does work with the exception of emailing the address that the customer enters in the form. I have pretty much no coding under my belt.
hi again,
unfortunately the no coding bit is an issue. You might be better off checking out one of the form plugins in the marketplace like proforms or advanced forms they might do what you want (an email to the developer would tell you for sure if it isn't evident from their page.

Thanks for you help. Much appreciated.
I guess if you are using the standard form block that comes with C5 you could override the controller and add some extra code into action_submit_form() to send an email to the email address of the person submitting the form.
You'd need to think carefully exactly how you handle it though if you use lots of instances of the form block in the site.
