P&T Contact Form plugin: How can I copy "name" and "email address" in the body of the mail?

Question

I'm currently working with the Contact Form plugin from P&T. I don't need much more, but as usual the client wants to:

• See the email address and name in the body of the mail (he won't understand the way it works now).

Is there a way to get this done?

Answer 1

I ended up hacking the ContactFormService.php file with some extra code for the body

It's actually quite simple:

$email->body = "Sender: ".$message->fromName."\n\nEmail-addreas: ".$message->fromEmail."\n\nMessage: ".$message->message;

Same thing for cc mail

I understood 2.2 will have a plugin hook for this kind of added functionality (emails.onBeforeSend event)

Answer 2

Your options are either:

1) Hack the plugin to get it to add name and email to the body.

2) Use a more robust form-building plugin.

3) Use JavaScript to add a hidden input to the page that will add it to the body so they don't have to enter an email twice. Something like:

<input id="emailCopy" type="hidden" name="message[emailCopy]" value="[email protected]">
