P K	Thursday 06 September 2007 5:30:04 am Hi everyone, I got a question about info-collection. I've created a form which collected information and send in to an email. The thing is that when I've created a template the information is still being collected but now it doesn't send it to the email. The system was not originally built by me therefore I don't know where the original programmer wrote the email the collected information is being sent to. It is not in the site.ini properties. Is there any another way to set the recipient of the email? Is it being affected by the template that I've created? Thanks a lot. P K

Sender of email is set in site.ini: [MailSettings] EmailSender=... However, it is also possible to override the receiver address in the email template by setting the email_receiver variable see design/standard/templates/content/collectedinfomail/form.tpl or extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/templates/content/collectedinfomail/form.tpl for examples so to answer your last question in short: > Is it being affected by the template that I've created?

Hi everyone,
I got a question about info-collection.

I've created a form which collected information and send in to an email. The thing is that when I've created a template the information is still being collected but now it doesn't send it to the email. The system was not originally built by me therefore I don't know where the original programmer wrote the email the collected information is being sent to. It is not in the site.ini properties. Is there any another way to set the recipient of the email? Is it being affected by the template that I've created?

Thanks a lot.

A good start when having such problems is usually to check email server's log and see if if emails is send to invalid/wrong email addresses

By default receiver of information collection emails is set in site.ini:
[InformationCollectionSettings]
EmailReceiver=...

or
[MailSettings]
AdminEmail=...

Sender of email is set in site.ini:
[MailSettings]
EmailSender=...

However, it is also possible to override the receiver address in the email template by setting the email_receiver variable
see design/standard/templates/content/collectedinfomail/form.tpl or extension/ezwebin/design/ezwebin/templates/content/collectedinfomail/form.tpl for examples

so to answer your last question in short:
> Is it being affected by the template that I've created?
That could be. If the previous template did set the email_receiver variable, while your new one don't
