Description/Features

A completely re-engineered version of the Form Mail Plugin. Hold no preconceptions; this is one small step for plugins, one giant leap for Confluence mailing.

For a quite sometime now I've wanted to overhaul the existing Form Mail plugin as it wasn't flexible enough and, in some cases, simply didn't work. So what better time to write another than when you're wife is in very slow labor (kid ain't out yet and is already demanding) and you can't get on with any real work.

So here is the feature hit list:

  • Admin console
    There is now an Administration console action where you can define multiple sets of configuration settings. This has the advantage of the end user having no way to gain your email address or even your username. You can also keep your public key out of sight if you like, and the success HTML that is shown – CODEGEIST:more details ...

  • Improved Security
    In addition to the implicit security issues that the Admin console above adds, the complete overhaul of the code base has resolved a few potential exploitable flaws (although the cases where they could be exploited are admittedly rare).

  • Flexible Configuration
    You can either define the configuration in the new Admin console action, or you can specify all the settings in the macros in the markup, or you can base your settings off a configuration and override certain fields in the markup; it's up to you!

  • Macro-Orientated Design
    You now define a wrapping form, and lay out the form elements intermingled with standard wiki notation in a manner familiar to those who use the Scaffolding Plugin or the Advanced Search Plugin. This allows you to be far more creative in how you layout your fields, and gives you much more control of their configuration – CODEGEIST:more details ...

  • Special Field Names
    With the new dynamically defined layout, comes a new way of passing through data for the special fields, such as from email address and subject. These all have defaults and none are required to be entered. All you have to do is name your field as "from", "from-name" or "subject" and it will get through. Special fields do not make it into the body, and in the case of multiple fields with the same special name, the last one wins out.

  • Validation
    You can now specify a validator for each field as well as required flag to make sure that the field contains at least something – CODEGEIST:more details ...

  • Velocity Values
    On most of the macros which take a value, you can now render it using Velocity in the vtlValue parameter (or using the render=velocity param on the {mail-textarea} macro). This allows you access to the standard context that Confluence provides, as well as adding a some extra variables, so that you can display sensible defaults for things like the user email address or pass the user's name as a hidden field – CODEGEIST:more details ...

  • PGP Encrypted Emails
    Ever wanted to take credit card information or other sensitive details on your Confluence site, and have them securely transmitted back to their destination? Now you can, using OpenPGP's PKI infrastucture – CODEGEIST:more details ...

  • Data Handlers
    Ever wanted to take the form data, and put it in a pseudo database instead of having it emailed to you? Now you can, using the Bandana Collector (it even supports data types for future expansion!) – CODEGEIST:more details ...

  • Multiple Forms
    The original Form Mail plugin could only be used once on a page due to it's design, this limitation is no longer applicable as Form Mail NG has been written extensible from the ground up. It is no longer considered a throw away, quick-fire code base.

Developer Rippable Features

All developers rip other developers code as a quick way to learn new APIs and improve their own code. Here are some of the implementations you might find useful that I believe are unique to this plugin (to the best of my knowledge):

  • Usage of ExtJS for the dialogs in the Admin console action.
  • Serialisation of Java Object to JSON using XStream.

The Admin console action uses a "direct load, AJAX command" system, which loads the Java Objects directly from the action's HTML output as it's injected as JSON. The table is dynamically created, and changes (add/update/delete) are then serialized back using DWR.

There is also an example of using Confluence's cluster-safe cacheManager to store TempFormMail objects (hardly rocket science, but hey – I didn't know it was cluster-safe!).

Developer Instructions

Build
You will need Maven 2 installed:

Edit
If you run mvn idea:idea instead you'll get an IDEA project you can use to edit with.

Usage

See the Examples if you want a quick start in to getting something up and running. This section serves as the macro usage documentation.

{mail-form}

This is the encompassing form within which all the other macros must be placed. The other macros will have undocumented behaviour in cases where they are placed outside of a {mail-form} macro. The form can either be linked to a configuration by id, have it's settings provided in parameters and encapsulated macros, or indeed both where the settings override that of the configuration.

Parameter Description Type Default Required
id The Form Mail configuration ID string none
collector The collector to use string (email / bandana) email
destination The destination to use, either the email address or bandana store, depending on collector used string none (unless valid id provided)

{mail-input}

This provides an input field synonymous to a HTML input field and has no body.

Parameter Description Value Default Required
name Name of Field (also used as HTML node name) string none
id HTML ID of Field (unused by FormMailNG) string none
cssClass HTML CSS Class value string none
cssStyle HTML CSS Style value string none
dataType reserved for future use string (String/int/long/boolean/Boolean/Date) String
validation Validation mode, see Validation string none
required Is this field require a value? boolean false
disabled Is this field disabled from user interaction? boolean false
type Type of Field string (text / checkbox / radio / hidden) none
value Initial value of the Field string none
vtlValue Velocity value (overrides the above), see Available Velocity Context velocity template string none
checked Inital State (only valid for type=checkbox/radio) boolean false

{mail-label}

This provides a label element synonymous to a HTML label element, its body is wiki rendered and is used as the label element's contents.

Parameter Description Value Default Required
for Field ID this label is for string empty

{mail-select}

This provides a select field (drop-down list) synonymous to a HTML select field, with options defined in it's body by the {mail-option} macro.

Parameter Description Value Default Required
name Name of Field (also used as HTML node name) string none
id HTML ID of Field (unused by FormMailNG) string none
cssClass HTML CSS Class value string none
cssStyle HTML CSS Style value string none
dataType reserved for future use string (String/int/long/boolean/Boolean/Date) String
validation Validation mode, see Validation string none
required Is this field require a value? boolean false
disabled Is this field disabled from user interaction? boolean false
nullLabel The label for the empty option at the head of the select list string none

{mail-option}

This provides an option field synonymous to a HTML option field, its body is wiki rendered and is the outputted label for the option.

Parameter Description Value Default Required
value Value of the Field string empty
selected Is this Option Selected boolean false

{mail-textarea}

This provides an textarea field synonymous to a HTML textarea field, with the unrendered body being it's value.

Parameter Description Value Default Required
name Name of Field (also used as HTML node name) string none
id HTML ID of Field (unused by FormMailNG) string none
cssClass HTML CSS Class value string none
cssStyle HTML CSS Style value string none
dataType reserved for future use string (String/int/long/boolean/Boolean/Date) String
validation Validation mode, see Validation string none
required Is this field require a value? boolean false
disabled Is this field disabled from user interaction? boolean false

{mail-submit}

This provides an submit button synonymous to a HTML submit button. While there is no requirement for a button to exist, there wouldn't be any other way for the user to submit the form.

Parameter Description Value Default Required
default Label for the Button string Submit

{mail-success}

This macro sets or overrides what is on successful submission. The body is rendered according to the render parameter, if there is no renderer specified then it is outputted as raw HTML.

Parameter Description Value Default Required
render method to use for rendering string (wiki/velocity) none

Examples

Here are 3 examples, which should get you whet your appetites for what is possible. Now that you can fit it into any design it is really only limited by your imagination.

The simplest valid usage would be:

{mail-form:destination=email@example.com} {mail-submit} {mail-form}

This is rather useless and I doubt there is any practical use for this. Technically you don't even need the submit macro, although without that the form would be utterly useless. Have a look through some of the example for starting points for a real world use of this plugin.

Basic Example

This is about as basic as it comes, it's just a message box with a submit button! The subject and the from details will be left to Confluence to decide.

h2. Send us a Message

{mail-form:destination=email@example.com}
*Message*
{mail-textarea:name=message|cssStyle=width: 500px; height: 100px}{mail-textarea}

{mail-submit}
{mail-form}

Once sent the default success HTML will be spat out, which is really just a thank you message.

Call Back Example

"OK – this looks a bit more practical."

You want to offer the user a form where they can ask your sales team for a callback. This time you don't want to show the email address in the wiki markup (as it's visible by anyone who can view the rendered page after all). Instead you want to use the email address of a confluence username, specifically salesUsername.

You also want to set the subject, ensure you get a phone number and default their name to the logged in user's full name (anonymous users should see the field empty). The form should contain a select box with 5 options ranging from "now" to "1 hour", with the latter being the default.

The submit button's text should read "Call me!", and on success it should display a "Callback Accepted" Confluence {tip} message box telling them that their request has been accepted and to expect the call.

{mail-form:destination=~salesUsername}
{mail-input:type=hidden|name=subject|value=Call Request}

{info:title=Call Request}
Your Phone Number
{mail-input:type=text|name=phoneNum|cssStyle=width: 200px|required=true}

Your Name
{mail-input:type=text|name=fullName|cssStyle=width: 200px|vtlValue=$!user.fullName}

Time
{mail-select:name=eta}
  {mail-option:value=0|selected=true}Now!{mail-option}
  {mail-option:value=5|selected=true}5 minutes{mail-option}
  {mail-option:value=15|selected=true}5 minutes{mail-option}
  {mail-option:value=30|selected=true}30 minutes{mail-option}
  {mail-option:value=60|selected=true}1 hour{mail-option}
{mail-select}

{mail-submit:Call me!}
{info}

{mail-success:render=wiki}
{tip:title=Callback Accepted}Thank you for requesting a callback, please expect our call.{tip}
{mail-success}

{mail-form}

... and the plugin isn't breaking a sweat!

Credit Card Example

"Jeez! You're not suggesting I get customers to email me their credit card details?"



Why not? This plugin supports OpenPGP cryptography (CODEGEIST:as described here), and for this we'll be setting things up a little different. This time, we'll be setting up a FormMail configuration.

Note: You will need Confluence and your mail reader to be set up for PGP encryption, see the above link for more details.

Step 1: Create the Configuration

  • Go through to the Administration console
  • Select Form Mails
  • Select Create Form Mail
  • Set ID: orders
  • Set Encryption Public Key: your public key
  • Set Email: your email address
  • Save by clicking OK
Example Public Key (non-functional)

-----END PGP PUBLIC KEY BLOCK-----

Step 2: Add the Wiki Notation

  • Link the {mail-form} to the orders configuration by id.
  • Add a hidden subject field, which will include the user's full name if logged in.
  • Add a hidden confUser field containing the username if logged in.
  • Add a hidden URL field containing the URL including query string if present.
  • Add a required product select field, which has 2 options, and neither is selected initially with a message instead reading "--- Select a Product --".
  • Add a required contactName text field, defaulting to the user's full name if logged in.
  • Add a required contactEmail text field, defaulting to the user's email address if logged in, and is validated to be an email address.
  • Add a required contactAddress text area.
  • Add a required creditCard text field validated to be entirely numeric.
  • All fields should appear in a standard confluence table, with CSS width settings set appropriately.
Sample Wiki Notation
{mail-form:id=orders}
{mail-input:type=hidden|name=subject|vtlValue=Order#if($user) for $!user.fullName#end}
{mail-input:type=hidden|name=confUser|vtlValue=$!user.name}
{mail-input:type=hidden|name=URL|vtlValue=$req.requestURL#if($req.queryString)?$req.queryString#end}

|| Product | {mail-select:name=product|nullValue=--- Select a Product ---|required=true}
  {mail-option:value=prodA}Option A{mail-option}
  {mail-option:value=prodB}Option B{mail-option}
{mail-select} |
|| Contact Name | {mail-input:type=text|name=contactName|cssStyle=width: 170px|vtlValue=$!user.fullName|required=true} |
|| Contact Email | {mail-input:type=text|name=contactEmail|cssStyle=width: 100%|validation=email|vtlValue=$!user.email|required=true} |
|| Contact Address | {mail-textarea:name=contactAddress|cssStyle=width: 300px; height: 120px|required=true}{mail-textarea} |
|| Credit Card Number | {mail-input:type=text|name=creditCard|cssStyle=width: 100%|validation=num|required=true} |

{mail-submit:Purchase}

{mail-success:render=wiki}
{tip:title=Order Accepted}Thank you -- we will be in touch once we have processed your order.{tip}
{mail-success}

{mail-form}

Step 3: Sit back and Wait

Neat huh!

Documentation

If you are looking for more in depth documentation about the concepts and APIs that power this plugin, then here is the documentation which should set you off in the right direction.

Validation

JavaScript Only
The validation is all performed client side as if someone wants to hack their way around the interface and hook onto the API to circumvent validation they will. It's just not worth it, so if you have any automatic processing picking up the form data, then you will need to make sure you implement your own validation.

You should be doing that anyway as you can never trust the input ... right?

Most of the macros support validation, the most basic of which is the required=true parameter. This isn't technically a validator, it's just a flag to tell the validation subsystem that the field is only valid if there is a value (any value) in there. If this flag fails, then the validation for that field halts until there is a value.

The validation parameter for the {form-input}, {form-select} and {form-textarea} macros take the following values:

Validator Requirement Invalid Message
alpha a-z / A-Z This field can only contain letters.
num 0-9 This field can only contain numbers.
alphanum a-z / A-Z / 0-9 This field can only contain letters and numbers.
email Email Address Invalid Email Address.

If validation fails, the invalid CSS class is added to the offending field and, if attempting to submit, then a message box listing the errors and their corresponding field names is shown.

Please add issues for any validators that you need – if you can include JS code then that's even better.

Available Velocity Context

When rendering a VTL value (via the vtlValue parameter or when using render=velocity) you will want to know what context variables are available:

Variable Injected By Value
$user Form Mail NG AuthenticatedUserThreadLocal.getUser()
$ceo Form Mail NG ((PageContext) renderContext).getEntity()
$req Confluence HTTPServletRequest

There may be more, as the context is initialised with MacroUtils.getDefaultVelocityContext(), so please see the Confluence documentation for more information.

Data Handlers

These are called Collector Types in the code, and refer to the process that is applied when data is submitted.

Email Relay
This is what Form Mail is all about, and is the only collector which supports encryption at the moment. This will take the submission, convert it into a Mail object and hand it to Confluence to mail off to the recipient.

This handler has 3 special fields, and if multiple fields share the same special field name then the value from the last one is used. None of these special fields are required or validated on the server.

Field Name Description
subject This becomes the Email's subject
from This becomes the Email's from address
from-name This becomes the Email's from name

All remaining fields will go into the Email body in a "fieldName: fieldValue\n" layout.

Bandana Store

In Progress
This is new to Form Mail NG, and places the data (held in a MailShuttle) into a BandanaCollector store. The access for the Bandana Stores is somewhat primitive at the moment, but that is a work in progress.

As such please treat this option as experimental.

The idea is that instead of collecting information and sending to a mailbox, you can keep it on the server inside of Confluence. This has the advantages of being easy to access as well as potentially being accessible to extensions to the plugin for automatic processes.

One such extension might be to take details of evaluators of a product / service, the information for which is in the success HTML. You could write a nightly job to poke through the collector to email out a follow up message 1 month after registering for the evaluation.

PGP Cryptography

Java Cryptographic Extensions

Limited Liability
The following instructions are required by the Cryptix JCE provider and you follow them at your own risk. I hold no responsibility for the accuracy or reliability of these instructions.

It should be strongly noted that the communication between the web browser and the server stands to be the weakest link, and in this case should always use SSL as if the data is worth encrypting on the server, it's worth encrypting on it's way there.

Having said that, they've worked fine for me!

There may be cases where you wish to store the data in an encrypted form using standard Public Key Infrastructure (PKI). This may be because you are asking the user to transmit credit card details, this may be because you are storing sensitive data which may be covered under a NDA. Whatever the reason, you are in need of an industry standard level of encryption.

In order to use the cryptographic functions of this plugin, you will need to do two things:

  1. Install the 4 cryptix jar files into confluence/WEB-INF/lib (1, 2, 3, 4)
  2. Install the "Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files" from Sun (involves modifying the JRE)

When these have been performed you can place your public key into the form mail configuration. How this works depends on the collector you have chosen:

  1. Email Collector
    This will cause all emails to be encrypted using that key. The whole email body is encrypted in this manner.

  2. Bandana Collector
    Encryption with this collector is not yet supported, if there is demand a technical solution for it may be sought.

Email Decryption

Well this is a little outside of the scope of this documentation. I would suggest installing OpenPGP and Enigmail for Thunderbird. There is a good article here.

Your OpenPGP public key is what you should be pasting in to this plugin, and you will be using your private key to decrypt it. Keep your private key safe and secure!

Frequently Asked Questions

Here is a list of the most frequently asked questions covering all aspects of the plugin.

I am getting a RuntimeException with the highly descriptive message: NYI

If you are seeing the following error in the logs, then it this typically means you haven't successfully installed the Unlimited Strength Jurisdiction Policy Files in your JRE (CODEGEIST:see above). If you believe you have, make sure that if you have multiple JREs on your system that Confluence is using the right one.

      To directly answer your question; no.

    Is it possible to set the email "From" address to the one entered by the user or is it hardcoded to use the one that Confluence is set for in the SMTP settings? On a basic form, not the fancy stuff.

            Yes, when I went into a form, which already asks the user for their email address and pre-populates the field if they're logged in, and changed the name of the field from "email" to "from" it works as described. Thank you for clarifying it for me.

            I have an SMTP server configured in my confluence: if I use a different email address, when I try to send email, the configuration of mail server was automatically update.

    What's missing in Confluence generally, that could be provided through this plugin, is the ability to send the mail to a GROUP.  For example, there are ~1000 employees at my company.  Not all of them yet use confluence, I want to be able to send a targetted mailshot to confluence-users, literally.  Currently there is no way to do this.  a leetle extra 'mailtogroup=confluence-users' support would be just what the doctor ordered...

    This plugin is awesome! Thanks!

     However, it seems that this loads the CSS for Ext JS, which overrides my stylesheets with this one line:

    html,body,div,dl,dt,dd,ul,ol,li,h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6,pre,form,fieldset,input,p,blockquote,th,td{margin:0;padding:0;}img,body,html{border:0;}address,caption,cite,code,dfn,em,strong,th,var{font-style:normal;font-weight:normal;}ol,ul {list-style:none;}caption,th {text-align:left;}h1,h2,h3,h4,h5,h6{font-size:100%;}q:before,q:after{content:'';}
    

     Is there any workaround for this?

          As for why this didn't work, I don't know off the top of my head – time to respond to issue is limited due to current work load. Please don't forget that this is developed and released as open source, and the usual caveat of 'take it or leave it' applies, although we go one step further and offer paid development to fix areas you have issue with.

            Thank you for the response. As you've perhaps seen, my company has opted to develop plugins that we need internally and then release them to the community as open source as a way to contribute. I know that's helpful to the community at large but not so much to individual developers but my hands are tied.

            What I can do, though, is ask our developers to look at this issue and resolve it for the benefit of all. I'll place it into their queue.

            Also, in the interest of personal karma, I'll pack my lunch for all of next week and donate the savings to this plugin. Please update the Adaptavist donate form to show the FormNG plugin as right now it only lists the old Form plugin and I want to make sure the money is properly credited. Thank you.

Yeah, that should really be binned - it's very poorly written reset CSS that comes with the default ExtJS style sheets (they assume, wrongly, that if you're using ExtJS it's the only thing you're using - they never seemed to consider that it might be used within an existing framework, which is kind of odd).

    Form Mail NG looks like its perfect for what we want to do. But...

    How does one get the data OUT of bandana once the form puts it in? When I go to the  Form Mail NG - Management page I see the table with an entry for the ID / Collector / Destination I created, but the Total(Unread) column contains only a dash

    I presume there is supposed to be a link in that column which brings up a table of the submitted values - Am I correct?

    I haven't had time to test this, and probably won't for a couple of weeks - but two questions that someone might be able to answer quickly off the top of their head:

    1. Would this plug-in work in contexts other than a page context?
    2. Is there any way to auto-submit a form, or some hack to trigger the submit function via javascript, etc?

    The use case I have in mind is adding a hidden Form Mail NG form to includes/common-signup.vm via $helper.renderConfluenceMacro(), so that when a user creates an account an e-mail notification is simultaneously sent to an administrator.

    This plug-in would be ideal since the forms are submitted via AJAX and don't cause a page reload - otherwise, I'll probably need to do some extremely messy hacking involving javascript, iframes, form2mail scripts, velocity macros and other decorator files, which is about as appealing a prospect as jumping out of a window.

    Thanks in advance!

      I've not tried it personally on something other than page context - it should in theory work, if not please add a request to the issue tracker.

      As for the auto-submit, you could probably include jQuery 1.2 (use Custom HTML setting in Admin Console to pull it in) and then create a user macro (again in admin console) to store a chunk of your JS that does whatever it is you need to do. Simply include that user macro on the same page as your mail form and it should kick in to action. Remember to wait until the document has finished loading (all the jQuery examples show how to do this) before triggering your script.

I would like to make a dropdown menu via the {mail-select:name statement, but In this drop down menu I would like to give people the option for selecting a department to which the form should be sent, do you know if this is possible?

        So far i've already tried using the {mail-form:destination in the {mail-select: but that won't work.

        Any ideas?

    It is an interesting and useful plugin, but we cannot really use it

    We have a problem with this plugin on IE6 (there is a JIra item already open since May, 2007). After submitting a very simple form it would show a popup to the sender but send an email anyway.

    Hi Dan, I finally got around to upgrading to JDK6 and am finally able to use scriptix ... it'd be unbelievably powerful to be able to submit FM to a scriptix script ... looks like there might be some work on both sides.   I'm looking at Confluence/FM/Scriptix/Scaffolding etc as a rapid app prototyping environment and scriptix support in formmail seems like one of the keys.

    Or are there any plans to make FM's Collectors pluggable? 

    Great job on all of these plugins!

        We were after the same thing, and found a way to include the current user's mail address in the "To" line. Not strictly speaking a CC, but works for us.

        We did it by including a $curruser variable in the destination parameter of the mail form, and then enclosing the whole mailform in a "run" macro (see Run Plugin), set up to autorun when the page loads and replace $curruser with the logged in user's mail address, like so:

        {run:replace=curruser:$current_user_email|hideRun=true|hideParameters=true|autoRun=true}
        {mail-form:destination=real_destination@somewhere.com,$curruser}

    Is there a good way to guarantee new-lines between fields in the output emails from this plug-in? I haven't nailed down the problem yet, but sometimes I get nice emails with each field and its value on a separate line, and other times, with different field input, I get everything output on one long line.

    I've got round it by inserting a load of dummy, hidden mail-input fields stuck between each real field, but this means that the hidden field names come out in the output too.

      I'm pretty sure this will boil down to the JS changes made in the default theme and a change may not be backwardly compatible. I am working on commissioned development for Confluence v2.7.3, after which I'll see what I can do about making this work.

      Currently I think FMNG uses YUI-Ext, and if there are incompatibilities there the JS stuff may need rewriting to use a lighter-weight JQuery library that Confluence is standardising upon. So far there aren't any commissioners for such development, nor is time presenting itself for probono development.

    It was occuring for users on Ubuntu 8.04 w/ Firefox, but now I think that's a red herring, as the form worked after we restarted the wiki server due to slow response.  So maybe it's a result of a low memory/high CPU condition?

      Hi TZ,

      UNfortunately, this plugin is not fully internationalised at present.

      The plugin code would need to be modified to use i18n strings and a suitable translation file (German) for all strings used would need to be supplied.

      Regards,

    I'm using confluence 2.10 and each time I attempt to submit a form I get a JS popup that reads "Unable to process field type: null". Any ideas? I see nothing in the logs but I'm not running in a debug log level. This occurs even with the simplest of examples. However, here is the weird part -- everything works just fine using the preview tab in Confluence!

    Thanks

      Hi Mark,

      Can you post the example you are using? Is there any other Javascript you have added to the page?
      Which browser are you using? Are you able to test within Firefox using Firebug to help determine the issue?

      I have tested the latest plugin with Confluence 2.10.2 and the simple example works as expected.

      Regards,

        I am using both Safari and Firefox. Firebug indicates it's line 239 on form-mail.js, which seems to be a response from line 471 on engine.js

        var s0 = "Unable to process field type: null";
        DWRPluginEngine._handleServerError('9700_1239724316328', s0);
        

        I am also using the Adaptivist Builder theme (version 3.3.3-conf210), possibly there is a conflict here?

    Can anyone tell me if there is a way to prevent anonymous users from submitting a form.  Even though they have view access only they can still submit a form.  I even tried to make the name field required but that does not prevent them from putting in any text they want

    I have a nifty little form I made to use in conjunction with JIRA. My users will fill this form out and it will get emailed to a JIRA tracker where it notifies the support staff. When they see these submitted forms they assign the issue to me. Is it possible to CC: thee emails to me so that (A)I get them directly and can reply quicker and (B)use JIRA's automatic assigning feature that assigns the issue to the user in the CC field.

    Since I see no mention of it I suppose this form macro (which we love) doesn't do CC'ing...?

    I am trying to combine the run macro with the FormMailNG.  Note the markup below.  I am running this on confluence 3.0.0.1.  What I find is all works fine EXCEPT the mail-success processing doesn't seem to work no matter what I do.  Any advice appreciated... I have inquired about this with Bob Swift over on the RUN macro page and he suggested I come here - he doesn't know why the problem is happening.

    {mail-input:type=text|name=Message|cssStyle=width: 100%; height=40px|required=true|value=
    
    Your class Wiki space has been created at: $targetURL

    blah blah
    }
    

    But when the message is sent, it is all compressed into a single line. Any suggestions
    how to do what I am trying to do?

      I've had the same problem, but only on big complicated mail forms. Only way I could get round it was to insert a load of hidden mail-input fields between my real fields, like this:

      {mail-input:name=A text field|cssStyle=width: 300px|type=text}
      {mail-input:type=hidden|name=d8|value=  }
      {mail-input:name=Another text field|cssStyle=width: 300px|type=text|required=true}
      {mail-input:type=hidden|name=d9|value=  }
      ...
      

      That stopped the output getting output as one line, but with the hidden field names all over the place....

      A text field: Hello, this is some text
      d8: 
      Another text field: And here's some more
      d9:

        Yes, I figured out this way of doing it, but the problem is it really looks like hell.  I'd like to generate email going to end-users and insertnig empy hidden fields to act as empty lines doesn't make the message very readable.  Would be great if I could insert some special char in the string (like \n) or some such to allow for multi-line output.

    When I click the "Send" button nothing seems to happen. Am I supposed to have configured something?

    Also, can anyone tell me how to access the page identifier (URL) to include in one of the fields - I've got the user id working now, but need to send the URL as part of the email.
