Item creator form confirmation/receipt emails

Hi,

I am using the Item Creator to publish a form.  This allows me to send a receipt and confirmation email, however I want to use the users email in theTO and FROM fields respectively for the receipt and confirmation email.

The problem is that I cannot select the email address in these fields (as you can with other DW forms).  Is there a syntax for adding the field "Item.E_post" to the FROM/TO fields?

Help appreciated

// David

Hi David

With item creator you cannot - that is true. Just fully introduced in forms:

Will add this as a feature request.

I know it is not what you are looking for, but you can also create you own Dynamicweb.Modules.ItemCreator.Providers.Provider - that is an add-in that will handle the item creation process.

Attached our implementations - you can alter them to take the email from the forms.

Aha, the problem is the fact that we are choosing "Create item in a list". Here it only renders empty options.

If I choose "create item as a paragraph" or "create item as a page", it works. Is this a bug?

Workaround:

Choose to save the item as a page og paragraph. Then choose your form fields. Then switch back to save as item list...
