Thanks for your comments Sarah, Robert, Jacque and, as usual, to Kenji for his examples.

I thought I would put up a page with some random examples of how such things might be accomplished but got stuck on the sending mail. I have used examples from Sarah's site for another application on my own site but I thought I could put something like this in a button and have it work. This fails. Any hints?


get shell("echo -e" && "mymessage" && "| mail -s" && "thesubject" && "[email protected]" && "-- -f" && "[email protected]"


Thanks
Ron


BTW - revspeaks works on my test page simply using the script from the Documents example scripts. I hope to post the page soon once I get this mail thing worked out.

I had been wondering the same thing as Ron... Thanks for further info, Sarah; I, too, will be following this :-)

I hadn't thought of using revlets in the place of forms but it is an
interesting thought.
Currently, we have html forms and the data they send can easily be
processed using irev scripts.
If you had a revlet acting as the form, there seem to be two ways it
could handle the submitted data. Either it could "POST" it all off to
a .irev file exactly or all the processing could be done in the revlet
itself, with any emails generated (using the mail shell command) and
data saved.

Obviously, for us Rev people, the idea of constructing a form in Rev
is much easier than constructing it as HTML, but it does limit your
form fillers to people prepared to install the plugin.

Anyway, it's definitely worth trying and I would love to hear how you
get on with it.
