Help: Link E-mailer for feedback to individual link owners
I want to let people e-mail the owner of any site featured in my directory PLUS have the e-mail cc'ed to me...

Now I've I've tried Glennu's Link E-mailer Script -> http://mir.spaceports.com/...nnu/linkemailer.html

But the e-mail just comes to me as the following (with the field names yname and Comment coming through instead of the actual name entered and their actual comments!)

in{'yname'} has the following comments/suggestions for your site:
in{'Comment'}


Sincerely,

Visitor.




How can I fix this AND get the script to CC me a copy of each e-mail sent?

Or is there another script out there which is better?

Thanks!

Scrub that - Found this > http://www.gossamer-threads.com/...nk%20Emailer;#117866

But!

As pointed out in that thread, the e-mail address is visable via viewing the HTML source on the contact form for this script. This must be kept secret!!

Has anyone released their own version that doesn't reveal the e-mail address the message is going to, can save the e-mails in a log file like this script AND cc a copy of the e-mail to myself?

Cool

If you do OK at hacking, try using another jump.cgi, rename like mailjump .cgi or something. You will need to make the jump look at the email field instead of the url, then put a link in your link.html like so:

<a href="<%db_cgi_url%>/mailjump.cgi?ID=<%ID%>">Send e-mail</a>

If you're not sure about what to do with the jump.cgi, maybe somebody else will help, or I will later... gotta run now.

Good luck!Laugh

Thanks so much for the reply...but I'm not too great on hacking...

But wouldn't this solution still display the link owners e-mail address if they viewed the source?

Basically Glennu's mod is great APART from the fact the e-mail address of the link owner is displayed in the source which MUST be kept safe from view and the fact I need all e-mails CC'ed to me...


Can you or anyone else assist further please?

The email address would be pulled from the database only when the link is clicked, so no, it would not appear in the code at all. I will look at making jump do what you need, others feel free to offer their ideas...
