Select recipient for feedback form

Thursday 06 January 2011 2:41:15 am

I'm trying to modify the ezwebin feedback form to allow the user to select a recipient from a list of users derived from a fetch of the user folder.

It seems to me that a way to do this would be to define the recipient in a global variable in

/full/feedback_form.tpl

and call that variable in

/content/collectedinfomail/feedback.tpl

- replace recipient.content in this code block with the variable

 {if and( is_set( $object.data_map.recipient ), $object.data_map.recipient.has_content )}
{set-block scope=root variable=email_receiver}{$object.data_map.recipient.content}{/set-block}
{/if}

So, fetching the users is easy, but how to set the variable on the form submission? Or is there a better way?

Thanks. It's the first part I'm unclear about. How would I go about making the selection a collection attribute? I took a look at using object relations to select an object but that datatype doesn't seem to work as an information collector.
