i installed the plugin and everything seems to work except two issues.
1. there is a problem with the charset while using ä, ü, ö or ß. is it possible to set a charset like utf-8 or iso?
thanx for help...
Ok I can confirm there is a bug regarding those characters when i put them into my contact form they are converted from
ä, ü, ö or ß.
to
ä, ü, ö or ß
I am just backtracking to see if this is a bug i have introduced in my alterations to the simple contact form or if it was already there.
************************Edit 1
Update
this effects all versions of the simple contact form plugin both the original version by internet54 and my hacked version. I do not know whats causing it, i'll have a look.
************************Edit 2
Update
The bug only seems to appear in outlook (I don't have any other email clients installed, so i can't check them), if i view the email in webmail I see ä, ü, ö or ß. however when i view it in outlook I see ä, ü, ö or ß
Same thing happens for emails sent via the stock included contact form that comes with get-simple
************************Edit 3
Update
Ok i can sort of fix it by setting the encoding of the email
line 113 of my previous hack
Quote: if ($error != 1){
$from = "From: " .$sc_email;
$message = "Name: ".$sc_name;
$message = $message."\n". "E-mail: ".$sc_email;
$message = $message."\n". "Message: ".$sc_message;
mail($sc_to, $sc_subject, $message, $from);
$successmsg = "<div style=\"color:red; text-align:center;\">Thank you... The form was successfully sent.</div>";
//Clear values
$_POST = array();
$sc_email = $sc_name = $sc_subject = $sc_message = '';
}
replace that bit with this
Quote: if ($error != 1){
$headers = "From: " .$sc_email . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-Type: text/plain; charset=\"utf-8\"\"\n";
$message = "Name: ".$sc_name;
$message = $message."\n". "E-mail: ".$sc_email;
$message = $message."\n". "Message: ".$sc_message;
mail($sc_to, $sc_subject, $message, $headers);
$successmsg = "<div style=\"color:red; text-align:center;\">Thank you... The form was successfully sent.</div>";
//Clear values
$_POST = array();
$sc_email = $sc_name = $sc_subject = $sc_message = '';
}
Make sure you test that it works, as i am from a country that doesn't use these characters I could be doing things wrong here, infact that is probably why it is effecting me as the default character set on my comp doesn't support those characters or the default character set encoding put on them, actually i haven't a clue, but i doubt anyone is reading this far,
Basically if you are having an issue try the above fix, if you are not having a problem ignore it
