Yet another poorly documented extension from DMXZone.
Syntax to use form variables in email do not work.
Extension will not use a page template to gather content.
Another hour wasted on an extension that is not finished.

I noticed a thread with the same issue. It was answered only after 4 years had passed.

I went back to WebAssist. Works like a charm, first time, every time.

Hello Bart,

Can you please tell us which part of the documentation you find not complete?

Also please describe a little more detailed what do you mean by:

QuoteSyntax to use form variables in email do not work.
Extension will not use a page template to gather content.

There is no sample template or instructions on how to create one.

A standard landing page with the form variables in typical syntax (<?php echo((isset($_POST["name"]))?$_POST["name"]:"" ?> does not work and using your ##$HTTP_POST_VARS['name']## does not pickup the values either.

Putting that syntax into the static/html box results in an email with that exact text rather than the form values.

This:<?php echo((isset($_POST["name"]))?$_POST["name"]:"" ?>
Should just work. Anything else is counter-intuitive and requires hand coding.

Hello,

You can use as a template any page styled with html/css.

About the form variables - first you create them:



And then you use the "dynamic data" symbol to use them:



There is absolutely no need of any handcoding...
