Hi,

I've got a form running  using Form and List 5.1.3 on DNN 06.01.04.  Everything works nicely and the module is really great! Functionality, interface, and documentation - very impressed. 

What I'd like to do is this: I'd like for the form to send to different recipients based on user input.  So if they select city A, then email goes to recipient A, if they select city B then email goes to recipient B.

What I've tried so far:

1. Put the following into the recipients field:   [city]@mydomain.com  but the form validation doesn't allow it.

2. Use Calculated Column and then generate an email based on the City field for a hidden field, using something like this:
[City] + '@mydomain.com'.  This doesn't appear to generate any text when I temporarily make the column visible in the form and the form validation doesn't allow this output to be used for the recipient field in the email configuration.

3. I've also tried putting tokens into the subject line, like this:  [City] Form submission subject text.  But the token doesn't come through.  The idea with this approach is doing some sorting at the email server level but I would prefer not to do that.

 Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Richard

Hi Stefan,

Thanks for this answer! That works nicely.

Now the client has presented a second challenge - vary the email recipient based on 2 variables, not just 1. I tried previously to generate an email address by concatenating field ouputs but the module wouldn't let me because the emails were considered invalid.  How can I generate an email address based on 2 user inputs and then stuff that into the recipient email slot?

Stefan - you also asked - 'Please add the subject request to the issue tracker (http://dnnfnl.codeplex.com/workitem/list/basic)' - Not sure what or why you are asking this?

Something that I realised that might help others: I setup my forms as indicated in the (excellent) instructions.  I have a page with the list which is hidden and then I have a page with the form which is publicly viewable (referencing the original module). I would make changes on the list page and they would appear on the form page.  So far so good. Then, I was changing the email settings on the list page and couldn't understand why it wasn't changing on the form page. I realised that I have to change the email settings on the form page.  This is counter-intuitive since I can configure everything else on the form page.

Thanks again Stefan!

 Further help would be appreciated!
