Add Reply-To Header to MMX Contact Form

[SidFeyDesigns]

What are the chances a Reply-To header can get added to the instance.mvt template for the mmx-contact-form flex component?

I have been manually adding the following in red (which I need to do after any Miva update that includes flex component updates):

<mvt:comment>Set Email Helpers</mvt:comment>
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:instance:submission:email:name" value="ternary( NOT ISNULL l.settings:instance:heading:heading_text:value, l.settings:instance:heading:heading_text:value, l.settings:sequence_item:name )" />
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:instance:submission:email:subject " value="ternary( NOT ISNULL l.settings:instance:email:subject:value, l.settings:instance:email:subject:value, 'Form Submission for \"' $ l.settings:instance:submission:email:name $ '\" from \"' $ g.Store:name $ '\"')" />
<mvt:assign name="g.eol" value="asciichar(13) $ asciichar(10)"/>
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:instance:submission:email:headers " value="'MIME-Version: 1.0' $ g.eol" />
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:instance:submission:email:headers " value="l.settings:instance:submission:email:headers $ 'Content-type: text/html; charset=' $ g.Store:charset $ g.eol" />
<mvt:foreach iterator="field" array="instance:form:fields:children">
    <mvt:if expr="l.settings:field:type:value EQ 'input:email'">
        <mvt:assign name="l.settings:instance:submission:email:replyto " value="l.settings:field:submission:value" />
    </mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:instance:submission:email:headers " value="l.settings:instance:submission:email:headers $ 'Reply-To:' $ l.settings:instance:submission:email:replyto $ g.eol" />
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:instance:submission:email:from" value="g.Store:email" />

Can this be added to the instance.mvt for the mmx-contact-form flex component for the next Miva update so this does not have to be done manually?

It makes replying to the contact form emails a bit easier and I believe the old contact form with the challenge question used similar code on the CTFM page template.

Thank you.

SidFeyDesigns Nick, email me - I created one with the help of Nick

SidFeyDesigns This will be added in 10.13.00

Nick Awesome, can we also add a Display Name for the store email address for the "From" header? It could even be an optional field to fill out in the contact form component in page builder. The "Email" section where you can add the email Subject seems like a fitting place to put that.

Thanks.

SidFeyDesigns 10.13.00 will also include a Reply-To header that can be set in the Flex Component settings.

Nick That's great! Thanks for that additional info. Am I correct to assume there will be an option to use the value of the email input field of the contact form?

SidFeyDesigns Correct if there is an email field within the form (if more than one then the first will be used), then the value for that field will be used as the Reply-To email address. Here is an example of the code that will be added to the component.

<mvt:comment>Email Reply-To</mvt:comment>
<mvt:foreach iterator="field" array="instance:form:fields:children">
    <mvt:if expr="l.settings:field:type:control EQ 'input' AND l.settings:field:type:control_type EQ 'email'">
        <mvt:do name="g.Module_Library_Utilities" name="l.email_valid" value="Email_Validate( l.settings:field:submission:value )" />
        <mvt:if expr="l.email_valid">
            <mvt:assign name="l.settings:instance:submission:email:headers " value="l.settings:instance:submission:email:header s $ asciichar( 13 ) $ asciichar( 10 ) $ 'Reply-To: ' $ l.settings:field:submission:value" />
            <mvt:foreachstop />
        </mvt:if>
    </mvt:if>
</mvt:foreach>

Nick Beautiful, thank you for that. I'll update the code I've been using.

[SidFeyDesigns]

I just had to update this line:

<mvt:do file="g.Module_Library_Utilities" name="l.email_valid" value="Email_Validate( l.settings:field:submission:value )" />

and of course find the extra spaces in this line the forum likes to add to code snippets:

<mvt:assign name="l.settings:instance:submission:email:headers" value="l.settings:instance:submission:email:headers $ asciichar( 13 ) $ asciichar( 10 ) $ 'Reply-To: ' $ l.settings:field:submission:value" />

Otherwise it's working great. Thanks again Nick
