ajaxContact issue -- Is it resolved yet?

[abraxas]

I notice many complaints about this module and very few answers.
I've tried what has been offered so far, but have not yet got mine to work.

Is there a difference in settings when trying this on localhost than on a server?
Also,
in xmlHttpRequest.php and contact.php
it says to change the 4 variables below, but there seems to be only 3
(name, email, subject)

Any ideas out there?
Thank you.

I moved this post into the module support forum where it belongs.

Are you sure your server supports php mail() function?

What kind of problems are you having?
Generally the reason only very few answers are given is because people only provide very little details of their problem. In order to help you we've got to be able to recreate it.

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.

Hi Abraxis

I tried this on on my localhost server and had no problems. Can you provide some details on your setup? Possibly make a screenshot of your php_info ?

[abraxas]

Chuckroast,

I think what I most need to know at this point is which files (and which lines, if that's possible) need to be changed for the ajaxcontact to work?
I've changed ajaxcontact_settings.php, even though it says probably shouldn't be changed unless folder is renamed.
I've changed "ajaxcontact_youremail" to my email in both xmlHttpRequest.php and Contact.php. Maybe I shouldn't do that?



I'm not sure which part of the phpinfo you'd want to see. I know how to make a screen shot but I there's so much info to choose from, I don't want to post loads of screen shots. From what I see, the mail is enabled, but most of it I don't even comprehend, so likely I'm missing something obviously important.

[abraxas]

Exactly what files need to be changed for ajaxcontact to function?
I've tried changing
xmlHttpRequest.php, contact.php, ajaxcontact_settings.php

Maybe I'm missing one or else I'm changing them incorrectly.

Please help. I know this must be an easy one and I'm just not seeing it.

Thanks.

Although I didn't make this module I always try to help as best as I can. I had asked about your server setup. I didn't get a reply about that. I believe you are changing the correct parameters as the readme instructs. It could be something as simple as a difference in your php version.

I appreciate your help, Chuckroast.
I'm not sure what to give about server setup. I'm unfamiliar with it.
I'm trying this on my localhost, with Apache 2.2.8 and PHP 5.2.5 and MySQL 5.0.51a

Is that what you mean?
I apologize if I'm totally off here.

I'm glad, in any case, to know that I'm at least editting the correct files.

Thanks.

[abraxas]

Using PHP 5.2.5, are others having success with ajaxcontact?
While messing with the settings, I once achieved an email for Send CC to Self, but haven't been able to duplicate this.

Try to test it on a server, I mean a web host - not on your localhost.
