Hi
I just entered the forum to ask the exact same question so I will follow this thread to read the answer.
Thanks,
SharonHi Elliott
What you suggested works perfectly. What would be the cleanest way to do this from within my child theme’s functions.php without touching the ENFOLD code?
I need the actual email address added to be the one the user submitted in one of the form fields.Thanks,
SharonThank you both for the input. I will turn on debug and look at the shortcodes.
As to the ‘from’ email, I did see what you suggest and have actually implemented it right from the start. I’m already using ‘avia_change_from’.
What I’m now looking for is a way to set the reply-to field in the email header. The flow I’m looking to accomplish is as follow:1) user submits a message through the contact form on site
2) admin receives and email with the message submitted and selects to reply to it
3) the reply is sent not the ‘from’ address (which is an email under the site domain) but rather to the user who initially submitted the message on site. This email is one of the fields the user filled in the form.In past sites I accomplished this flow with contact form 7 setting an additional header ‘Reply-to’ to be [user-email].
Is there a way to add email headers to the native contact form implementation? most preferably with a filter/action and not by modifying the actual send code. (I’m working with a child theme)Best,
SharonI continued investigating this further and found out something surprising.
When I shorten the email subject (the default subject attached to the contact form) from six to two words – messages are sent and arrive perfectly OK to destination.
Is there a limit to the length of the subject?1) I would still like to know how to see debug information from the sending process so I can overcome other issues in the future without this trial and error testing.
2) How can I set the reply-to header in the messages to be the email entered by the user submitting the form and not my system mail (from which the actual email is sent)?
Thanks,
SharonI managed to miss it :-) I’m in RTL and the check was located under the widget name.
Works great. thanks!I already started developing a plugin to achieve this (with great help from Kevin on a different thread in the forum). Just wanted to make sure I’m not missing a time saving option in the theme before diving into the development.
Thanks,
SharonHi Elliott,
A template won’t work for me since once added to the pages, data is duplicated and when updated on a single page, the update doesn’t affect the rest of the pages. i.e. if I add a new testimonial to the system, I’ll have to do and add it manually to each of the pages, or if I choose to modify a string label, I’ll have to update each and every page, or am I missing something?
Is there a way to place an element, editable through avia_layout_editor, have it appear on multiple pages but when edited through one of it’s appearances – updates are reflected on all appearances (pages)?
Thanks
SharonWOW Kevin!
Promise to update once I’m done but it seems I have here all I need and more.
thank you so much for the terrific help. I really appreciate it.Hi Kevin. I had a feeling this would be the response…
I am very comfortable with coding and implemented what you describe in past themes I’ve built from scratch. I was hoping ENFOLD offered a shorter path, just like they do with portfolio items. (but couldn’t find it :-))
I will add a custom post type for the testimonials, however, I am new to ENFOLD. Is there a tutorial or have you any tips for me on how to implement an alternative testimonials builder?
I am working with a child theme anyway.Thank you very much for the help,
Sharon
