Extension talk:PostForm
I am trying to increase the functionality of this extension with a drop down list that has names of people and when the user selects the name it sends an e-mail to that particular person as well when submitting the form. Has anyone done something similar? have you had any ideas. Thanks
- why don't you take a look at extension EmailForm> It will help in hooking your form piece to the emailing capability Robskij 13:48, 30 April 2010 (UTC)
Not working for me...[edit]
I installed it and tried pasting the example form code into my wiki, but all it does is display the raw html, not the form...
Use from within a template?[edit]
I find (surprise, surprise) that arguments passed into a template are not working. For example, I want a form that can be used for registration for multiple events, with the event passed in the "Subject:" line. But when I do that, the email comes through with the formal parameter "{{{1}}}" in it, rather than the actual parameter.
I tried using it as a {{#tag:postform...}}, but couldn't get it to work.
Any ideas how to make this work within a template? Thanks!

Never mind, figgerd it out...[edit]
- Upgrade to 1.16a (I'm still on 1.13)
- The "contents" (the stuff between opening and closing <postform ...> tags) must be the second argument when an extension is used via {{#tag: ...}}

SERIOUS SECURITY BREACH![edit]
Note that everything ever sent through any form using this extension is available from a web browser via $wgUploadDirectory/postform.log!
If your site allows directory listings, everything that was ever sent through this extension will end up indexed in Google!
I changed:
$logfile = $wgUploadDirectory . '/postform.log';
to:
$logfile = '/var/log/postform.log';
which seems like a saner way of doing things.
