Thanks Chuckroast, and sorry for not posting this in the correct place.
The problem is that I do not recieve mail from the contact form, but it does say that the message was succesfully sent.
What i've done to enable ajaxcontact is to change the files:
contact.php line 4: $yourEmail =
mattabraxas@gmail.com;
xmlHttpRequest.php line 5: $yourEmail =
mattabraxas@gmail.com;
and ajaxcontact_settings.php line 12: define('ajaxcontact_youremail', 'mattabraxas@gmail.com');
on ajaxcontact_settings.php, I'm a little confused because it does say on line 9:
// the path to the modules templates. the probably shouldn't be changed unless you rename the ajaxcontact folder(s)
I am trying this on localhost, and as far as I know, it supports php mail. I've done it with other sites on it. It's possible I'm wrong on that and I'll try it out again soon.
I'm wondering, first, are these the right files to change?
(along with _subject and _yourname)
Also, is there anything special about trying it out on localhost? Is there a particular configuration that I'm missing?
I hope this is enough information.
Thank you to anyone's help here.
