Getting a contact form to email properly

11 November 2008 at 4:54am
I've been studying how to create a customized contact form using these forum discussions: http://www.silverstripe.com/site-builders-forum/flat/53148 and http://www.silverstripe.com/site-builders-forum/flat/113907?showPost=164944. My simple form works to save the data in a database, but I'm struggling to send the data to the site owner. I'm not sure where to put my template file MyEmail.ss, and what exactly goes in it? And, do I need a MyEmail.php class file that extends Email.php. If so, what goes in that and where would I place that? Here is my code so far:
<?php
class ContactUsPage extends Page {
}
class ContactUsPage_Controller extends Page_Controller {
function ContactUsForm() {
return new Form($this, "ContactUsForm", new FieldSet(// List your fields here
new TextField("Name", "Name"),
new EmailField("Email", "Email Address"),
new TextareaField("Message", "Message")), new FieldSet(
// List the action buttons here
new FormAction("SubmitContactUs", "Submit")), new RequiredFields(
// List the required fields here: "Email", "FirstName"
Email,
Name,
Message));
}
function SubmitContactUs( $data, $form ) {
$submittedForm = new ContactData();
$form->saveInto($submittedForm);
$submittedForm->write();
$email = new MyEmail;
$email->populateTemplate($submittedForm);
$email->send();
Director::redirect('cp/');}
}?>

The email templates go in mysite/templates/email/MyEmail.ss
Setup this up as an html document type and loop through the data with something like <% control FormData %>variables here <% end_control %>
