Let people choose where to send the form.

You might want the form to go to different email addresses for different purposes, and you might want to let the person filling it in choose.

I am assuming here that you are using Natemail - I have no idea if, how or whether anything like this works with any other method of sending forms.

I am also assuming you have already set up a form using Natemail, and you are happy with the way you have it working.

Now, to give peope a choice, do this:

  1. Set up the email addresses in the php file as normal - 0, 1, 2, however many you need.
  2. Remove the hidden field called 'recipient' or don't put it in.
  3. Make a list box field or popup field (or set of radio buttons) with one value for each possible recipient.
  4. Important: name this field 'recipient' WITHOUT THE QUOTES.
  5. Put in labels for what you want people to see.
  6. For the values, put 0 or 1 or 2 or whatever address is appropriate.

The inspector looks like this:

NAME THE FIELD CORRECTLY!!!!

DO NOT CHECK 'MULTIPLE SELECTION'!!!!! Natemail currently only allows for your form-filler to choose one recipient. Later releases may allow multiple recipients to be chosen.

Make one selection the DEFAULT - this is now the RECIPIENT FIELD and the form has to go SOMEWHERE even if people are too lazy to choose!!!!!

Choose who should receive your form:
