Hi,

I would like to see a TEST modus for all email actions:
  • User Emails
  • Admin Emails
  • Additional Emails

For example, in the TEST modus ALL emailfields only will be set to your super user emailaddress.

When you are in TEST modus, you can safely fill in the form and see how the emails show up in your mailbox.

Regards,

Gosling Cools

Please note that there is no need to overcomplicate things. You can achieve this exact scenario simply by using your email address in the TO field for each one of the emails (user/admin/additional). If you want to use the placeholder to test the form, in the front-end simply insert your email address in that particular field.

Even better, when in TEST Modus, the logged in administrators e-mail should be suggested as all email receivers. (users, admin and custom)

I don't see any reason why you would make the extension more complicated when you just can copy your e-mail address in the right fields to test it, or better; use 2 e-mail addresses while testing to mimic exactly what happens when a normal user uses the form.

I see numerous good reasons to have such an option ;)

When you:
- have many clients (websites) to administer
- have many forms on a website
- modify field names,
- work with custom layouts
- you are the web developer, not the administrator that normally receives the admin mails
- modify the thankyou email content
- modify the admin email content
- modify the customer email content
- modify the thankyou response text
- modify the subjects in an email
- when you use additional emails
- when your client has multiple different email addresses in the TO: CC: BCC: fields.
- when you work with custom php
- when... etc etc.

Like I said, numerous times I need to test all those emails, thankyou texts, mappings, uploads, custom php etc...

A simple switch option would make working with this extension so much bettter.
This way you don't have to copy and paste all those to: cc: and bcc fields all the time into a notepad.
This also reduces the chance of making mistakes.

I use RSForms Pro for about 8 years now or so. And I'm very satisfied with the extension, just would love that extra option.

Just my thoughts...

Then it's probably a good idea to create a feature request.
With the information you just posted in the forum.
Maybe it helps to create a Functional and Technical Design, so RSJoomla! can integrate it easier without having to use to much time with writing these needs by them self.

When you can build this yourself, it makes it much easier.
The are always open to create new functionalities especially when you deliver most of the information

Just stumbled upon this event in the helper:
 		// Allow this to be overridden
		JFactory::getApplication()->triggerEvent('rsfp_onCreateMailer', array(array(
			'mailer' 		=> &$mail,
			'from' 			=> &$from,
			'fromname' 		=> &$fromname,
			'recipient' 	=> &$recipient,
			'subject' 		=> &$subject,
			'body' 			=> &$body,
			'mode' 			=> &$mode,
			'cc' 			=> &$cc,
			'bcc' 			=> &$bcc,
			'attachment' 	=> &$attachment,
			'replyto' 		=> &$replyto,
			'replytoname'	=> &$replytoname
		)));

Wow, this makes my day :-)

Writing a plugin already...
