adding Name to from email address header

[tripros]

Hi,
Is there any way to get the name of the person submitting the form to be in the email address so the name shows up as the FROM along with the email rather than just the email?

ie, Your Name <address@email.com>

Have a few systems that require a name to parse the emails and all quform emails don’t work, but other form plugins I’ve tried work fine because they add the name.

Thanks!

Thanks Ally, we’re using a framework theme so the functions file can’t be edited. How could we handle this in this case?

Thanks!

Will this allow the name entered in one of the form fields be used as the “from” name. For example, on my form a text field “full name” is what I would like to use as the name in “name <email>”.

Is this not possible to add this to the settings as I am not a developer.

Will it replace email with name, which will not work, or will it add name to email to give name<email>

I will have to hire a developer to do this so I want to clear that it will work before doing so.

Which name will it add? I wish it to use one of the text fields from the form

e.g. a_text_field <an_email_address_field>

Quform is an excellent product but I think that this option should be added to the actual script. It is such an obvious thing that I expected Quform to have this functionality and would not have purchased if I’d known it did not.

Would it possible to do the little plugin as I’m sure others will be interested.

I forget to thank you. Adding to the functions worked great. I think it should be in the next version as dropdown.
