Sending email from checkboxes

    Hello,
    I followed the info given in this topic:
    http://www.appnitro.com/forums/topic/email-from-a-drop-downlist/page/2
    and the information in there is no longer valid for v2.3 - includes/helper-functions.php does not have the if($target_is_admin){if(function_exists("form{$form_id}_hook_email")){
    code anymore.

    I was wondering if it is still possible?

    If so can you tell me where to go and what to do?

    Thanks!

    The code does not exist in the "helper-functions.php" file indeed, you need to add the code first. The instruction is on page 1.
    Around line 478 in helper-functions.php file, you will see these code :

    $send_status = $mail->Send();
    $mail->ClearAddresses();

    then you can add these code exactly bellow that code

    if($target_is_admin){
    
    if(function_exists("form{$form_id}_hook_email")){
    
    	$carbon_param['form_id'] = $form_id;
    	$carbon_param['entry_id'] = $entry_id;
    	$carbon_email = call_user_func("form{$form_id}_hook_email",$carbon_param);
    
    	if(!empty($carbon_email)){
    			$email_address 	= explode(',',$carbon_email);
    
    			foreach ($email_address as $email){
    				$email = trim($email);
    				if(!empty($email)){
    					$mail->AddAddress($email);
    					$has_email = true;
    
    				}
    			}
    			$mail->Send();
    			$mail->ClearAddresses();
    		}
    	}
    }

    The information on page one is for drop downs and while the code executes, I do not get the emails that I have configured for it. Is it because of the drop down code? Is there a different code for radio buttons?

    I saw an article here about radio buttons and to do a select operation on the database for (example) element_3_1,element_3_2 (etc.) but the database (as you know) does not contain information about the elements for radio buttons with the exception of field values. But for some reason it is not picking those values up and assigning the email address.

    Possibly that old article was for a previous version? Is there updated code for this?

    I got it working. I had to enable notifications (I put a no-reply@ address in there). Works great!

    Thanks!
