Hello there,
first of all let me thank the creator of this grate extension.

I have a site for searching and booking accommodation and I have a problem:

When a visitor choose a hotel and sent request to the owner it is ok. What should I do in the parameters in order when the owner click the reply button, to reply straight to the visitor (who is the sender) and not reply to my sites e-mail?

Thank you.

Hi stampgo7,

sadly that is just not possible yet. It's annoying, I know, and I made it a point on my todo list. It will come in future versions.

Regards,
Aicha

Hi guys,

there are so many request for this feature that I will give a description how to fix it here. I will include this changes into the source code of Visforms and they will be part of the next release. So you can make the following changes to the code without fear of loosing them on the next update of Visforms.

The changes are the same for visforms 2.0.x and 3.0.x. They are not meant for Visforms 1.0 Versions!

Go to components/com_visforms/models/visforms.php, make a backup copy of this file and open it.

At about line 808 you find the section "Send Email Result"

find the line
Code:
$mailBody = $mailBody."registered at ".date("Y-m-d H:i:s")."<br /><br />\n\n";

(about 5th line in the first if statement)

replace it with
Code:
$mailBody = $mailBody."registered at ".date("Y-m-d H:i:s")."<br /><br />\n\n"; $emailSender = "";
find the line
Code:
$field = $visform->fields[$i];
(just 2 or 3 lines below, right at the top of the following for-Statement)

replace it with
Code:
$field = $visform->fields[$i]; if ($field->typefield == 'email') { if (isset($field->postValue)) { $emailSender = $field->postValue; } }

find line
Code:
$mail->setSender( array( $visform->emailfrom, $visform->emailfromname ) );
about 50 lines below but before "Send Email Receipt" section

Replace it with
Code:
if ($emailSender == "") { $emailSender = $visform->emailfrom; } $mail->setSender( array( $emailSender, $visform->emailfromname ) );
That's it.

Good luck and kind Regards,
Aicha

Hello again,
the line
$mail->setSender( array( $visform->emailfrom, $visform->emailfromname ) );
does not exist
I can find this similar line:
$mail->setSender( array( $visform->emailfrom, "" ) );
and if I do all the corrections you say the site crashes.
Is there a way to attache the file?

George
