    Setting the from/sender email address for multiple sites

    Hi all,

    Is there an easy way to specify the from email address on a per-form basis in Contour, without having to extend Contour (like this http://our.umbraco.org/wiki/how-tos/extending-contour,-sending-email-dependent-on-form-selection)?

    I have a multilingual site which uses Courier, and ideally each site would use a different FROM address when sending emails with the form data.

    Thanks,

    David

    If it's an option for you to store the email address on a content doc then you can just use the special syntax to use that

    Insert page value: [#propertyAlias]

    Insert recursive page value: [$propertyAlias]

    Hi Tim,

    Where do you mean? I recognise that as the syntax for macro parameters in a template, but how would I use that for a Contour form? Or more importantly, how would my content editors do that for a Contour form?

    Thanks,

    David

    You can use that syntax in workflow settings so it would then fetch a value from a content doc...

    So lets say on your homepage you have a setting contactFormEmail that your content editors can set that email is then used in the contour form

    You mean in the reply-to field, right? I thought that the from address came from umbraco.config?

    ah yes didn't spot that :) if you want to define the from address you'll need to extend the workflow type

    Hi Tim,

    Would be nice to have the from address easily specified, just like the reply-to address is. Thanks for all the info! Really enjoyed using Contour for this project, it might become a must-have tool for future projects too, especially now you can control the markup.

    Cheers!

    David
