Is there any software available?

**smith33122** · 01 October 2010, 05:57 PM

I have almost completed my first WD6 website, I played around with netobjects fusion, but found it to be a bit unreliable.

What I would like some help with is this. Is there any software available? that will allow me to put a field to capture the clients email address (see video) http://www.smartwolfmarketing.com/video%20email.htm and have them sent an html email response and re-direct them to the thank you page http://www.smartwolfmarketing.com/thanks.htm (I put this link in because the page allways makes me laugh, I am not so sure what the clients will think).

For my main contact form I will use coffee cups software.

I look forward to hearing from the forums experts and anyone else who can critique my site (please note it's not yet complete)

Kind regards

Chris

Welcome to TalkGraphics Chris

Coffee Cup Softwares form software should let you do this. I use a web based form creation program, Email Me Form for my contact page. The form information is sent to me via e-mail and the sender is taken to a Thank You page ( I created the page on my website and linked the form to that page). It is very efficient. And I think you can still create 3 or 4 free forms.

What I am looking for is to send the user an html thank you email and to be redirected to the thank you page and I have not been able to get the coffee cup software to do this.

Thanks

There's a PHP Mailer form you can embed into a xara page here

If you want to send the user to a thankyou.htm after submission, simply change the code shown in step 2 like this:

Change:
<?PHP $to = "youremail@wherever.com";
$subject = "Contact Form response";
$headers = "From: Form Mailer";
$forward = 0;
$location = "";

to:
<?PHP $to = "youremail@wherever.com";
$subject = "Contact Form response";
$headers = "From: Form Mailer";
$forward = 0;
$location = "thankyou.htm";

If you are creating the thankyou.htm in xara for publishing, the location url should be changed to:

$location = "index_htm_files/thankyou.htm";
