[opencms-dev] mailform problems

[Jose Antonio Morillas Sanchez]

First,
you must fill the fields:

SMTP Server Address: with your SMTP Server
Valid Referers: with the name or IP of the server that will proccess your
form.
Valid Recipients: with the domain of the email where you are going to send
your data.

Then you must declare formmail servlet in web.xml. It is explain in
'OpenCMS_FormMail.txt' mini-documentation. Don't forget restarting your
server. Writting directly this url in you navigator:
http://yourserver/opencms/formmail must generate an error, not a blank page,
if everything is ok.

Finnally, you must create the form. I use this code inside a .jsp page:

<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript">

   function send(f,url) {

      // code for checking data
        .....

      eval(f+".action=url");
      eval(f+".submit()");
   }

</SCRIPT>

<form name="MyForm" method="POST">
    <INPUT VALUE="<%= email %>" NAME="recipient" TYPE="hidden"/>
    <A href="javascript:send('document.MyForm','<%= formmailUrl
%>');"><b>Submit</b></A>
</form>


Hope this helps you.


José Antonio Morillas.

Furthermore, I remove the field "recipient" from the form and tried again.
formmail.jsp is supposed to reply to such order with an error page but,
instead, I receive a blank page as in the first test... or any other I
tried... I never get any error page (???)
