[PLUGIN:TDO Mini Forms] Emailing custom form results like Tell a Friend (6 posts)

    Heya,

    I was wondering if it's possible to not only have TDO submit the information from a form as a post but then have that information emailed to a recipient (not the auto respond) named in the form. So the form would be like the following:

    Your name
    Your email
    Friend name
    Friend email
    Message

    The message would then be like the following (posted to WP):

    Your name said about friend name: Message

    Then that same content would then be emailed to Friend email.

    TIA!

    Not out of the box i'm afraid. But you could make you're own copy of the Auto-Respond widget, that grabs the users email address and sends it when the post is published.

    I'm also looking for a solution as popstalin looks, with TDO forms or any other plugin or way.
    I'll be happy for suggestions.

    Thanks,

    If needed, I found a nice PHP script that does the 'tell a friend' thing. You might send to up to 3 mail addresses in on time, add a short message of your self.
    The admin might set the subject of the mail and default message etc.
    It's not a WordPress plugin but a PHP script, but implementing it is very easy and it's working great for me.

    Look at the link for download it and for instructions how to implement

    Enjoy! :)

    @maorb Can you give me a quick rundown of how you implemented it?

    @TM3909 Take a look in the link I posted in my previous comment here, it has short and clear instructions how to implement.

    You may see the script I implemented in the site -

    Look down the page on the right, near the facebook/twitter share links, there is the 'send friends via email' link, which pops up the window with the form.
