    Hi Guido,

    Thank you for this great plugin.

    Would be great if you could allow us to send a better auto-response, as opposed to one sentence or paragraph.

    In the current setup, the HTML element for adding the text is an <input>.
    By only changing this to a <textarea>, the user can add line breaks between paragraphs, and construct a much nicer email, that doesn’t have that flat feeling of an auto-response.

    Thank You !

    The current setup:

    Hi John,

    I agree, will change this into a textarea. Guess the same applies to the thank you message.
    Try to update plugin this weekend or next week.

    Hi John,

    Have updated plugin. Textarea is added. Did not test the auto reply mail yet, but this should be fine. Meaning, a text with line breaks is displayed properly.

    Hi Guido,

    Thank you for updating the plugin. The text area is working as expected.
    But, there are some unexpected quirks.

    1) Two conformation emails are sent:
    One that contains the message and what the user wrote:

    And another one that contains only what the user wrote:

    Here you can see that I got two emails at the same time

    2) The conformation message on the page is not wrapped in the existing class

    So, my styling for ‘vscf-info’ was not applied to the conformation message.

    Hi,

    Did not have much time to test everything..

    1. These are not the mail to you (admin) and the confirmation mail to sender?
    2. Will fix this as soon as possible. Forgot to remove the wrapping p tags.

    Hi,

    Oh, right, one email is the conformation for the sender, and the other for the admin.

    You, know what would be great, also? A checkbox for the user to consent to getting the newsletter. Then the plugin would collect the user’s email and name in a list, that the admin would copy/paste to the mailing list.

    Having them fill out the contact form, the newsletter form, and maybe even the ordering form, is asking for too much

    Think about it. Would be amazing

    Thank you

    Hi John,

    The purpose of this plugin is to offer a simple lightweight contact form. If you want a more extended or a custom form there are many other plugins that you can use instead.

    Have updated plugin and your second “quirk” is fixed. Thanks for informing me about this.

    FYI: next thing I’m working on is a VS Contact Form block. Looks better in block editor than a shortcode.
