Introduction
This feature is part of the Visforms Subscription and not available in the free Visforms version..
This is legacy documentation for old versions of the plugin as shipped with Visforms Subscription prior to version 3.2.2. In newer versions, option depending mail recipients are configured directly in form fields with option lists.
In Visforms you can define one or more result email addresses for each form as well as individual mailcc and mailbcc addresses. Thus Visforms already offers you more flexibility than many other form extension. But sometimes even that much flexibility is not enough and you would like to send the result mail to different addresses depending on user inputs in the form.
The Visforms plugin Custom Mail Address delivers exactly this feature, for mailto, mailcc and mailbcc addresses.
What is a plugin and how does it work?
Joomla! supports the use of so called plugins. Plugins are small applications, which can hook into the Code at various places and perform specific tasks. For example email cloaking is a typical plugin task as well as switching languages on multi language websites.
How does the Visforms Plugin Custom Mail Address work?
Basically you set up a control field in your form. This field offers well defined options for the user to choose between, so it could be a listbox or a radio. Depending on what option the user chooses in the form, the result mail is sent to different mail addresses. The connetion between options and email addresses is set in the plugin and the plugin code manages the correct delivery of the mail.
