  7. Thanks alot for this, I can see it will be very useful, for this is what I have been searching for.

    One problem though, I’ve installed the plugin and made changes that were necessary, but I am unsure of how to display this on the page. I’m kind of new at this whole WordPress thing so if you could help twould be great!

  9. No alterations should have needed to be made to the script. Its a plugin and go type thing.

    To display a form you just need to insert tags into your post like the ones shown in Using eForm.pdf

    Try this form replacing email with your email:
    {eform}
    {input email=myemail@google.com}
    {input subject=My First eForm}
    {input name}
    {input tel}
    {select country=UK,USA,Germany,France,Other}
    {textarea message}
    {/eform}

    If it doesn’t work, let me know, and link to a test page.

    Thanks

  11. I miss few things
    1. some validation, not only required, but at least e-mail and that selected item is one of the selected (could be otherwise easily hacked)

    but anyway i think it is for most cases better to have some form manager and insert form into post via some e.g. [form:1] tag – because such forms are then reusable and changing them on one place will change them all.

  13. i know there is required, but not “valid”, so e.g. in your form example the user can submit anything into e-mail.
    “hacking” i mean submit form with other value (not insecure if used just for sending form via e-mail but what if you use the values afterwards?)

  14. This plugin works great, the only problem I am having is that I’ve tried a couple of sample data forms and the emails aren’t being sent. Why would this be?

  17. Here’s my code:

    {eform}
    {title Got something to say? Breaking news? Change of contact info? Let us know!}
    {input email=xxxxxxxxx@gmail.com}
    {input subject=Update from Lombardclan}
    {input Name}
    {input Email Address}
    {select State Your Bidness=Just Saying Hi,Contact Info,Question}

    {textarea message}

    {/eform}

  18. This seems like a promising start, but I also had big issues getting it to do what I wanted and then decided to go with an alternative plugin for the time being. But will check back for future releases.

  24. I have installed eform on a page by itself. Enter a valid email address, and tested it. It will not work. I even entered the example you give on eform’s home page to test it and it did not work. Please visit http://neospyce.com/blog/?page_id=26 to see. A few people asked you about this same error and you posted no response. Please assist me with this. Smiles.

  26. Not sending email, only printing “an error occured”, which is not helping at all.

    Looked promising, but is a defective plugin

  28. I’ve modded the eForm plugin for wordpress, so the subject and email are never passed to the form and are grabbed directly from the unprocessed tags.

    Can’t find an email address for you to give the mods back if you want them. Please feel free to email me.

  30. Hi Paul, since in germany we use “umlauts” as ä,ü,ö and a for you may be not known sharp “s” like this “ß”, I´ve noticed that the send mails will noch print those letters correctly. Are you or is there anybody who can help me to get this running?

    Thanks a lot!

  31. Hi! First of all Great Plugin! :)

    I also have a simular problem as The G. I want to use it with swedish characheters = å,ä and ö.

    Everything works fine but when I receive the mail all swedish characters has been uncoded.

    Like this:
    Plats För Påstigning:
    löälöälöä

    Does anyone have a solution for this encoding problem?

    Reply ↓

  32. For anyone that is interested in how to display swedish characters in the incoming mails, read this:

    Edit eform.php in your plugins folder by changing the character encoding to UTF-8 in line 71.
    That´s it. Should work for german characters as well.

    Reply ↓

  33. I have changed it to have UTF-8 as default now. Sorry for the delay in responding, I have been quite busy. Thanks for using eForm and please let me know if you have any other suggestions or problems.

    Thanks

  35. Hi Paul,

    I just discovered your plugin and definitely is something I need very much.

    I created a form respecting your instructions – it look professionaly but no email is sent. Then I used your example, changing only the email address… the same effect.

    Is there anything I can do in order to make it work? Please advise me!

    With thanks for your work,

    Mihai Ciuca

  39. I’m new to WordPress and I’ve just downloaded Eform, uploaded it to the server, etc. I’ve also activated it in the plugin list. It doesn’t seem to appear in the options list like most other plugins so where do I go to configure it please?

    Reply ↓

  40. I have uploaded and activated the plugin. When I create a page with the sample form, it appears in my right sidebar instead of my main content area. Any clue why that happens?

    thanks
    Aden
