Great work Ryan.  Thanks. 

Anyone figure out how to apply a template to this email?  I’ve been trudging through the code for a while, but I haven’t been able to figure it out.  The email just sends it all in one big block.

Ok.  I figured it out.  The template has already been applied to the message when it is called in the hook.  The mailtype is hardcoded to ‘html’ in ext.md_freeform_send_another.

So just change one parameter:

to

And the email will be formatted correctly.

thanks mdesign. i looked under the ‘hood, and isn’t having the emails in the drop down vulnerable to spam? (of course, unpublished emails of mine still manage to get spam lol). that’s what i am trying to avoid… i want my cake (the user-select recipient), i want to eat it too (“hidden” email addys). onward, ho!

Yep, here’s what I did. The value for the select options in the markup was just an array key that got the whole email from within my extension:

Hi Tim, you appear to have produced something that will meet a need I have for a clients site but as a newcomer to EE I have no idea what you do with this.  How do you add this to EE?

hi me too…

in fact a solution that the user can type in the recipient address. I want to do a postcard service…
any help would really be appriciated!

hi ryan,

I’ve just downloaded your “MD freeform send another” extension.
and it says “Send email to a person from a dropdown (or other custom field in your form)”

this would be absolutely fabulous!

could you tell me how to specify the field for the email it get’s send to.

I have the following email field that I want it to be sent to:
From Address

To Address

logically I will specify the {ecard_fmail} in the email template.
so where do I specify the “ecard_tmail” in your extension?
thanks a lot already

stefan

p.s. I don’t know any php! sorry!

If you look at the code on GitHub around line 128:

“salescontact” is the short name of my freeform field that holds the extra email.

In your case, I think you only have to install the extension and change that line to:

$recipient = $query->row['ecard_tmail']; 

thanks a lot for that hint!!!
this was exactely what I was looking for…
till now, I used ee’s native “tell a friend” form… which worked aswell..
but, beeing able to use “templates” is much nicer!
thanx!

hi ryan ,

I’ve just tried your extension again,
and I did comment out “unset($msg);” in the freeform module 2.7.2. (mod.freeform.php). the second one was already commented out….
I did change the variable to my to email address in your extension: “$recipient = $query->row[‘tmail’];”

then I get an error:

Notice: Undefined variable: msg in /home/schwelle/public_html/backend/modules/freeform/mod.freeform.php on line 1505

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/schwelle/public_html/backend/modules/freeform/mod.freeform.php:1505) in /home/schwelle/public_html/backend/core/core.functions.php on line 296

p.s. line 1505 is the following:    $edata = $EXT->call_extension(‘freeform_module_insert_end’, $fields, $this->entry_id, $msg);

do you know what that could mean?
cheers
stefan

P.S. If I use freeform for other stuff… will it still work after commenting out unset($msg)???

There have been a few versions of Freeform to come out since I first did this extension, so I’m not sure if the $msg needs to be unset. I’m thinking you don’t want to unset it now because it looks like that call_extension needs it. I haven’t dealt with this extension in a while, so I might be a little out of the loop - but I’d try uncommenting the unset line to being it back and see if you still get the error.

I am giving up, since I get errors as soon as I activate your extension… and I am a php noob…
so, I’m back to the tell-a-friend solution, which doesn’t work to bad…

thanks anyways!

Is there any chance you still have a copy of FreeForm 2.6.5 lying around…I also cannot get this to work in 2.7.2, i get the same error as outline4 regarding the $msg variable…?... anyone?

Solspace devs, you’re killing us here. Is the $msg variable available to the freeform_module_insert_end hook like your documentation says it is (scroll to bottom), or not? From the docs:

Finally, you can access the message that was emailed to the notification list through the $msg variable.

I don’t think that’s true. It seems my extension that uses this hook is no longer working post 2.6.5. When it WAS working for 2.6.5, I had to hack your module to get it to work. The error everyone is getting is this:

Notice: Undefined variable: msg in /.../devsite.com/system/modules/freeform/mod.freeform.php on line 1505

Does it have anything to do with the newer use of “active_hook”?

You need to update your docs at any rate: I’ve found two more hooks hiding in the module that aren’t listed in the docs: freeform_module_admin_notification and freeform_module_user_notification. If the example there for freeform_module_insert_end needs to be updated for more recent versions of Freeform, could you do that as well, so i know how to “fix” my extension to work with your module?

Hi Ryan,

Thanks for your patience with us…
We’ll have this fixed up and have the Documentation adjusted shortly

Sweet, thanks. This has become quite the thread!
