AjaxMail for Typo3

Description

This is a Typo3 Extension that allows you to easily send Mails from any form in your website via Ajax.

How to use it

1. Add a new Sys-Folder to your Typo3 pagetree
2. Add a Mail Template (content element ) and fill it as you want.
   • Set sender, receiver and so on. You can use variables by using {} - learn more about that in a second
   • Remember the UID of your form
3. Add a form to your website. Look at this example

<form method="post" class="ajaxMail">
	<input type="hidden" name="tx_ajaxmail_ajax[tid]" value="1" />
	<input type="text" placeholder="Name" name="tx_ajaxmail_ajax[Name]" required/>
	<input type="email" placeholder="Email*" name="tx_ajaxmail_ajax[Email]" required/>
	<textarea name="tx_ajaxmail_ajax[Comments]" placeholder="Comments ..."></textarea>
	<input type="submit" value="send" />
</form>

• Important: Form has to have the class ajaxMail
• Important: there must be a field with the name tx_ajaxmail_ajax[tid] that has the UID of your template as value
• Important: All fields that you need in your mail have to have a name like: tx_ajaxmail_ajax[...]

Variables

• You can easily use variables in your Mail Template by wraping {} around the variable name.
• If you want to acceess the name field in the example just write {Name}
• You can use {all} as a special variable that lists all submited variables in a list e.g. Name: John, Email: [email protected] ...
• You can also use the variables in the subject, receiver and all other field e.g. if you want to send a confirmation mail to the user just add {Email} as the confirmation receiver
• You can add an optional SQL statement that is executed after the mails were sent. Here you you can also use the variable e.g. ''' INSERT INTO table (field) VALUES ('{Variable}') '''
