Ask a Question

I'm using one of the Nicepage templates that came with a form. In the settings, I have it set to work with Joomla forms, but I don't see a place to add a recipient. I have a contact set up in my site with the email address I'd like messages to be sent to, but the form isn't sending them.

Hi Chris,

If you plan to use this form on the Joomla website, you should select the "Joomla Form" for the "Send to" field and then configure email sending in Joomla under the Global configuration. Here you can set the email recipient.
Please let us know if you have any further questions.

I have the same problem. I would like to see the NicePage Contact Form used the same way - and replacing - the Joomla Contact Form. As implemented right now, using the Joomla form option, NicePage sends the form to the System Administrator - and to the System Administrator only.

This is a serious shortcoming:

  1. The System Administrator is rarely the same person as the owner / business user of the site.
  2. By having to configure the Global From Mail account with the owner's / business user's mail address for him to receive contact / business form mails, the System Administrator - often an external person or company - is blocked from receiving crucial system information, e.g. update warnings.
  3. Creating sites for communities and multi-department companies, we are unable to separate functional mails - everything ends up with the same mail account
  4. NicePage needs to "mimic" or support the Joomla Contacts structure, in which individual business contacts are duly separated

If we can't access the Joomla Contacts structure, we'll be forced either to not use NicePage for contact forms or to have to write extensive PHP or HTML code to ensure this separation of recipients.

To me, at least, that's one of the diffences between a professional tool and a toy.

Please get this right.

Yours

Hi Per,

Please note that nicepage is not a Form builder tool. This is a content and theme builder that provides the option to add a simple contact form. If it is not enough, you can use any existing Joomla Form Builders that create desired functionality. They all usually provide modules and shortcodes that can be displayed on the Nicepage pages too.
As an alternative, you can use the built-in PHP script to send emails. But it dos not support SMTP sending. Therefore, your server should be configured to send emails.
