I am having trouble getting an email form to work properly from a
static page...
Does anyone know of how to do this?
I have the following in my PageControler::
var $components = array('Email');
function beforeFilter() {
parent::beforeFilter();
$this->Auth->allow('display','email');
}
function contact(){
$this->layout = 'home';
$this->set('title_for_layout', 'Home');
$this->pageTitle = 'Contact Us';
}
function email() {
if(!empty($this->data)) {
$this->Page->set($this->data);
if($this->Page->validates()) {
if(!empty($this->data['Page']['company'])) {
$this->Email->from = $this->data['Page']
['company'] . ' - ' . $this->data['Page']['name'] . ' <' . $this-
>data['Page']['email'] . '>';
} else {
$this->Email->from = $this->data['Page']['name'] .
' <' . $this->data['Page']['email'] . '>';
}
$this->Email->to = '[email protected]';
$this->Email->subject = 'Website request';
$this->Email->send($this->data['Page']['message']);
$this->Session->setFlash('Your message has been
sent.');
// Display the success.ctp page instead of the form
again
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'contact'));
} else {
$this->redirect(array('action'=>'contact'));
}
}
}
I have the following in my contact.ctp::
<?php echo $this->Form->create('Page', array('action' => 'email')); ?>
<table class="contact-table">
<tr>
<td>Name</td>
<td><?php echo $this->Form->input('Page.name', array('label'
=> false, 'maxlength' => 100, 'size' => 40)); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>Company</td>
<td><?php echo $this->Form->input('Page.company',
array('label' => false, 'maxlength' => 100, 'size' => 40)); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td>E-Mail</td>
<td><?php echo $this->Form->input('Page.email', array('label'
=> false, 'maxlength' => 100, 'size' => 40)); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td style="vertical-align: top;">Your comment</td>
<td><?php echo $this->Form->input('Page.message',
array('label' => false, 'cols' => 50, 'rows' => 10)); ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="2" align="center"><br><?php echo $this->Form-
>end('Send'); ?></td>
</tr>
</table>
I created what has to be an unnecessary page model with the
following::
class Page extends AppModel {
var $name = 'page';
var $useTable = false;
var $validate = array(
'name' => array(
'rule' => 'notEmpty',
'message' => 'You have not entered your name.'
),
'email' => array(
'rule' => 'email',
'message' => 'You have entered an invalid e-mail address.'
),
'message' => array(
'rule' => 'notEmpty',
'message' => 'You did not enter a message.'
)
);
}
