[Plugin: wp-greet] Can the mandatory input fields be changed?

  • Hi all,

    Cheers on a great plug in!

    I have a question, sorry if it’s been posted already, just direct me to the correct page if this has been resolved in a different post. I do not want the ‘RECIPIENT’ field to be mandatory. I’ve set up the BCC field to come to my address and it is not necessary for card senders to supply a recipient email address since all cards come to me.

    I promise I am not an egomaniac. I need to set the card page up to collect cards for ‘Doctor’s Month’. I work in a hospital and we are going to print out the accumulated cards to put on display in our facility. But if the senders are required to put in the recipient address, it will confuse them.

    On the security tab, the Recipient field is grayed out and I can’t uncheck it as an option. Can I change that somehow?

    Thanks,
    AiloraBlue

    Or if there is a way to default an email address in the recipient field, that would work well too.

    Cheers!

    I had the same problem. To change the value of the Recipient field which is greyed out for some reason and not accessible in the setup menu do the following.

    Here is how I fixed this on my website.

    Go to the mySQL database that was installed by WordPress. Using a mySQL tool like phpMyAdmin look for the Table xxxx_options. The xxxx is the prefix that was used when then WordPress was installed. The default for many installations is wp_ so if you did a default installation look for the Table wp_options.

    Click on this Table to see the values stored in this Table. This Table stores a lot of WordPress parameters so be careful what you change.

    You are looking for the Row that has the option_name of

    wp-greet-fields

    the next field is option_values and it is a set of 6 digits (something like 111110)

    These digits correspond to the options in the setup screen

    First digit is a 1 so the Sendername is Mandatory
    Second digit is a 1 so the Sender is Mandatory
    Third digit is a 1 so the Recipientname is Mandatory
    Fourth digit is a 1 so the Recipient is Mandatory
    Fifth digit is a 1 so the Subject is Mandatory
    Sixth digit is a 0 so the Message is NOT Mandatory

    What you see may be different based on the values you have checked on the Setup Screen.

    To turn off the Recipientname change the third digit to a 0

    Save the change and the Recipientname is no longer Mandatory when sending emails.

    You also may want to remove this field from the Email Form that is located in

    wpg-form.php

    So the Recipientname is not displayed on the screen.

    Hope this helps.
