Email

[lawrencepepper]

I can not figure this out.

I have a form that when sent it needs to go to the current users supervisor email.

In my functions file I set up code to grab the current users supervisors email address and set it to a value to be used by my forms.

This value indeed works when used in form elements dynamic default value.

But I see no place in the email settings to use this value.

I am having the same sort of problem with another form.

I need the recipient of the email being generated to be a dynamic variable.

How can this be done.

What I would like to do is have a hidden form field on the form with an email address in it. This email would be the address that the form data goes to.

This way I could dynamically populate the hidden field with whatever email address I need.

Tried this:


#Set Approval Email

function mytheme_modify_recipients($mailer, $form, $attachments)
{

if (is_user_logged_in()) {
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$person = $current_user->user_login;
}

$con = mysql_connect("localhost","user","password");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

mysql_select_db("time", $con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM employee WHERE user_name = '$person'");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

$mailer = $row['supervisor_email'];

return $mailer;
}
add_filter('iphorm_pre_send_notification_email_7', 'mytheme_modify_recipients', 10, 3)

Still getting errors.

OK,

Figured out the error, I needed a ; at the end of the last line. Oops!

BUT,

The form is not emailing anything now. When submitted it says the form has been sent but nothing shows in email.

Is $mailer the proper field? I want the recipient of this form to be the ‘supervisor_email’ that I am getting form the query.

Also,

I would like to set the “From ” address as well, how can I incorporate that into the code above as well?

Hello Ally,

I tried your suggestion but it still does not work.

If I remove the code and use the static email field set in the form settings the email sends. As soon as I place the code listed above with your suggestion in the functions page it no longer works.

Code I am using:


function mytheme_modify_recipients($mailer, $form, $attachments)
{

if (is_user_logged_in()) {
global $current_user;
get_currentuserinfo();
$person = $current_user->user_login;
}

$con = mysql_connect("localhost","user","password");
if (!$con)
{
die('Could not connect: ' . mysql_error());
}

mysql_select_db("time", $con);

$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM employee WHERE user_name = '$person'");

while($row = mysql_fetch_array($result))

$mailer->AddAddress($row['supervisor_email']);

return $mailer;
}
add_filter('iphorm_pre_send_notification_email_5', 'mytheme_modify_recipients', 10, 3);

OK,

I have it working but not sure why this happens.

In the form settings if I change the mail type to global instead of PHP (mail) it works.

My global default is PHP mail.

So there you go…
