Hi mbrsolution,

Many thanks for your expansive reply. It certainly adds to some other aspects that I’m looking forward to incorporating.

My main problem is finding a way to add text to the actual message sent and therefore seen by the Recipient. Unfortunately the Welcome message is seen by the person posting the message only, and I cannot find a method of adding a header or footer to the message when sent.

In order to simplify the process I have created a separate Form for each Recipient, so the email address will by default always be correct and the appropriate Welcome message displayed.

The only option to modify the body of the outgoing message I have so far discovered is a checkbox in “Advanced | Advanced Email Settings | Enable sender information in email footer.”

This adds IP and other info to the bottom of the email, just after a line which I cannot seem to find a way of disabling saying “Akismet Spam Check: passed”

[ As an aside, sender information is important to me on the Bcc list as Admin, but alas will possibly confuse the intended Recipient! ]

If the facility for modifying the body of an email could be considered as an option for the future it would be a great addition to an unbelievably brilliant plug-in.

Brilliant stuff, mbrsolution!

I shall close this off now – many thanks for your help.

Hi again,

I adopted your mods as recommended but found I had to make the following additional minor tweaks;

To align all input boxes in the centre;

Input fields alignment DIV:

Changed from – margin-left:auto; margin-right:auto;
to – text-align:center;

To allow the text to be left-aligned within the boxes – and importantly in the message body [textarea box]

Input text fields:
Input text field CAPTCHA:
Input textarea fields:
Input select fields:

All changed from – text-align:center;
to – text-align:left;

It could just be my installation but I am indebted to you for your patience and kind guidance – many thanks!

I will give this a day in case you want to comment and then mark as resolved.

Cheers!

Hi,

Looking at the Email area, the only options are;

Email To:
Email Bcc address (optional):
Email Subject Prefix:
Custom Reply To (optional, rarely needed):

It seems the “Email to” section is parsed only for email addresses with or without names. The Help info suggests only email addresesses and names are acceptable.

I should explain that the reason this would be very useful, is because a variety of forms are to be set up on a community site, and enable visitors to send mail to other indivduals like Mayor, Clerk, etc. all off-site. The recipients really need a little more info added to their incoming mail to help them understand! Mail sent to me is fine without!

Hi mbrsolution,

Absolutely brilliant! Thank you very much!

Hi mbrsolution,

I was referring to the main outgoing message. Apologies for not clarifying it!

I’m looking for an option to say, add a custom header or footer to the main message going out to the intended recipient on the “Email to” section in the Basic Settings tab.

Sorry, I can’t help. I just stopped using it until it gets resolved.

Hi,

The header is;

<?php
/*
Description: PARISH COUNCIL MEETING DATE CODE.
Shortcode: [parishmeeting]
*/

<Do you mean that the short-codes don’t get pasted into the page when you click them?>

Yes, exactly that. Interestingly, if I enter the shortcode manually it is fine. I guess the alternative is to keep a list of shortcodes on a handy bit of paper!
