fcContactFormConfiguration.xml configuration help

Postby Dammaged » Thu Feb 04, 2010 8:36 pm

I'm using WeBuilder 2010 to try to edit a website template (xml) I have my actual email links working on all the pages but, there is also an email form on a contact page. I'm new to this and am lost when it comes to editing it to work. It may seem simple if you know what you're doing....lol here is the actual config. below the line.
Now in this line as an example: <emailTo>your_email@domain.com</emailTo> would I change to: <emailTo>damm2001@shaw.ca</emailTo> or
<emailTo><a href="mailto:damm2001@shaw.ca">damm2001@shaw.ca</a></emailTo> or neither? That's just the first question, I just can't get the form to work and am not understanding the instructions.
my email is: damm2001@shaw.ca

Hi,

I moved you question to Web Developer Talk as it's not related to WeBuilder etc, and a quick Google it seems to be a PHP email script.

Anyway, as the example has <emailTo>your_email@domain.com</emailTo> you would need to change it to <emailTo>damm2001@shaw.ca</emailTo>

Your second option is not the same format as the example.
