Good day, people.

I need your help. I've got the nessecarity of adding an ActionForm into the CMS pages which will send emails to all who subscribed on that pages. By this i've found http://www.silverstripe.org/customising-the-cms/show/251460 - there is an detail instruction how to add ActionForm into CMS. I've adapted it for my task and i'd say that it works perfectly if there won't be a trouble - when i send a form it looks like there's no $action for it. Iframe just refreshes without sending any data. While debuggin i tried director::redirect(MySitedomain) in $action function - if there is an $action i must see my site in form frame after sending form data but it fails (the same trick works in function which returns the form).
I also put my source code on site pages (with nessecary changes in getting pages IDs) and it works. But not in CMS.

My code is below:

code/EventPage.php

class EventPage extends Page{

public function getCMSFields() {
$fields = parent::getCMSFields();

$fields->addFieldToTab("Root.Content.Subscribers", new LiteralField('iframe','<iframe src="/MailController/iframe/'.$this->ID.'" width="100%" height="200"></iframe>'));

return $fields;
}
-----------------------------------------------------

code/MailController.php

class MailController extends Controller{
static $allowed_actions = array ('iframe', 'sendmail', 'MailForm');

function MailForm(){
$params = Director::urlParams();
$fields = new FieldSet();
$fields->push(new TextareaField("Letter", "Letter to subscribers",5,50));
$fields->push(new HiddenField('ID', 'Page ID',$params['ID']));
$actions = new FormAction("sendmail", "Send mail to subscribers");
return new Form($this, "MailForm", $fields, $actions);
}

function sendmail($data, $form){
//Director::redirect("http://*****");
$sqlQuery = new SQLQuery();
$sqlQuery->select = array('MemberID');
$sqlQuery->from = array("EventPage_Members");
$sqlQuery->where = array("EventPageID=".$data[ID]);
$rawSQL = $sqlQuery->sql();
$result = $sqlQuery->execute();
$query="ID=";
foreach($result as $row){
$query .= $row[MemberID]." OR ID=";
}
$query .= $row[MemberID];
$memberList = DataObject::get("Member", $query,"","","");
foreach ($memberList as $member){
$email = new Email_Template();
$email->from = "**";
$email->subject = "**";
$email->to = $member->Email;
$email->body = $data[Letter];
$email->ss_template = 'SubscribeTemplate';
$email->send();
}
}

function Link(){
}
}
-----------------------------------------------
