Hi all,

I need to create a feedback form (rather detailed) and send user input by email (html format).

My first idea was to user form/process module, but then I found out it doesn't use any template for formatting, but just dumps POST variable data and sends that to email..

So it seems I must use information collectors.. is there any dummer way, I've got something like 40+ inputs on a form - creating a class for all that is a total pain in the ... and anyway there's no need to store the data in CMS, just send it as-is.. Of course, I could probably bypass eZ altogether and use plain PHP, but it's ugly..

Any ideas, please? :)

Thanks,
Marin.

You can create your own module. More info in documentation.
http://ez.no/ez_publish/documentation/development/extensions/module/module_tutorial_part_1

You will have to use ezmail class.
lib\ezutils\classes\ezmail.php

Using information collectors as you mention is also good way. If you create all inputs then you can edit/format only one tpl to set your own design from html mail (override content/collectedinfomail/form.tpl)

Remember to set ContentType=text/html in [MailSettings] in site.ini.append.php
