Contact form - hide email info

[RoySharp]

Solution found - several hours of messing about and then I find the solution a few minutes after posting this!!
So here it is:

Publish your site with a "from email" and "to email" box on the contact form with no error trapping active and the default text as a few spaces.

Download ep_sendhtmlmail.php from the scripts directory;
edit the setheadersandsend function

change
$mail->setReturnPath(GetPostVariable('fromField'));
to
$mail->setReturnPath("mysendemail@mydomain.com");

change
$mail->setFrom('"' . GetPostVariable('fromNameField') . '"' . "<" . GetPostVariable('fromField') . ">");
to
$mail->setFrom('"' . GetPostVariable('fromNameField') . '"' . "<" . "mysendemail@mydomain.com" . ">");

change (2 occurrences of)
NOF_throwError(201,array("{1}"=>GetPostVariable('t oField'),"{2}"=>GetPostVariable('fromField'),"{3}" =>$conf[$emailCompIdent."emailServer"].":".$conf[$emailCompIdent."emailServerPort"]));
to
NOF_throwError(201,array("{1}"=>"myrecvemail@mydomain.com","{2}"=>"mysendemail@mydomain.com","{3}"=>$conf[$emailCompIdent."emailServer"].":".$conf[$emailCompIdent."emailServerPort"]));

edit the isEmailInvalid function

change
$fromEmail = GetPostVariable('fromField');
to
$fromEmail = "mysendemail@mydomain.com";

change
$toEmails = explode(",",GetPostVariable('toField'));

$toEmails = explode(",","myrecvemail@mydomain.com");

then upload it back to the server

Download the contact page php file (mine is in a "contact_us" directory in the same place as the scripts directory) and edit it
almost at the bottom of the file find the long line starting "<table><tr><td nowrap><label for='fromField' "

remove
<td nowrap><label for='fromField' class='nof_emailPage_label'>From (email)</label></td>
and
<td nowrap><label for='toField' class='nof_emailPage_label'>To (email)</label></td>

change
type='TEXT' (on both the from field and to field)
to
type='hidden'

Upload that file back to the server

And just remember that if you re-publish without changing the contact page you can just re-upload them. However if you change and re-publish the contact page you will need to download and edit the new contact php again. (The script should be OK).

And that was it!!!
Enjoy




Original posting ...

I have created a simple page with an "E-mail Page" component on it

If I display a From (email) and To (email) field and put email addresses in them it works - it sends an email with the subject, message etc.

Editing the page HTML to change the fields from TEXT to HIDDEN doesn't help as they have to be pre-populated with the email addresses which are then visible in the HTML code.

In the scripts folder there is a file EmailPage1400521258062.xml.php which has variables emailFromAddress and emailToAddress which look like I should be able to put the email addresses in, but that has no effect. (Initially coded as to@her.domain.com and from@your.domain.com)

Similarly I have tried to modify the ep_sendhtmlmail.php file to a constant (e.g. $FromEmail which I set at the start of the program) rather that use GetPostVariable('fromField')

All with no success.

I want to be able to set defaults for the from email address, to email address which are not able to be changed and which cannot be retrieved from the html code by robots. (I also want to set the format automatically to plain text - but that is not important!).

NetObjects support say they cannot help and may pass the request on to their developers - some time.

This is so fundamental I can't believe it is not included - anyone done this?
