Ask a Question

Nicepage is nice in its design, no code necessary, but then suddenly you need to put in a lot of effort to find a suitable php script for an email form and have to fight with codes.
I cannot understand why an example simple php script cannot be given in your support.

Please reconsider a solution as many users will be grateful.

Hi Ben,

Nicepage is, first of all, a theme and content builder and email sending is not a part of its tasks. The form building if a server-side task also. But we added your request to our wish list.
If you don't know php and how the forms work, but you work with static HTML websites then I suggest that you try MailChimp:

Sorry for this late reaction. But in the mean time I tried to find a php script that I could use and change, as I do not want to go to Mailchimp. I spend many hours but did not get it working.
I think that is the case, because I do not see what fields Nicepage is using and offers for an action script and do not see the procedure. A simple general example of a php action script must be not so difficult to give, or are there other reasons not to do that?

Still, your position is that Nicepage is a theme and content builder. In my opinion it does an excellent job, but for me an email form is content too in most websites. Is it not possible to give an example at least?

Hello Chris,

In your presented example the sending from a html form is very brief.
What I missed was just a simple example of a script to send a form directly from the website. As you could see DEWA suggested to look at a link: https://nicepage.com/doc/article/25066/how-to-create-a-simple-html-contact-form-in-nicepage-website-builder
to find a script. I used the first script and it worked.
What I should like to see is a kind of modular built script that is meant for all fields possible in a form. Then you could take out the fields you do not use.
Furthermore it is good to mention that the php file that you use (called: "sendmail" or "contact" or "form-action") should simply be placed in the same directory as the website. DEWA put the name in the field of the form even without path. Keep it as simple as possible.

Thank you very much for your attention.
Ben

Hi Ben,

OK, we'll consider your suggestion. But we still mean that Nicepage is not a form builder and there are a lot of extensions over the internet that could provide the desired functionality.
In any case, all the requests are added in our wishlist and they may be considered in the future.
