Overview

Sending Messages:

To send Messages via contact forms you can create your form fields in the config.yml

Example:

Make an Element with this options inside your @elements.yml file:

- name: contactform
  ingredients:
    - role: mail_to
      type: Text
    - role: subject
      type: Text
    - role: mail_from
      type: Text
    - role: success_page
      type: Page

The fields mail_to, mail_from, subject and success_page are recommended. The Alchemy::MessagesController uses them to send your mails. So your customer has full controll of these values inside his contactform element.

Then make a page layout for your contact page in the page_layouts.yml file:

- name: contact
  unique: true
  cache: false
  elements: [pageheading, heading, contactform]
  autogenerate: [contactform]

Disabling the page caching is strongly recommended!

Please have a look at the alchemy/config/config.yml file for further Message settings.
