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
  contents:
  - name: mail_to
    type: EssenceText
  - name: subject
    type: EssenceText
  - name: mail_from
    type: EssenceText
  - name: success_page
    type: EssenceSelect

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 stronlgy recommended!

The editor view for your element should have this layout:

<%= render_essence_editor_by_name(element, 'mail_from') %>
<%= render_essence_editor_by_name(element, 'mail_to') %>
<%= render_essence_editor_by_name(element, 'subject') %>
<%= page_selector(element, 'success_page', page_attribute: :urlname) %>

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