I have setup the Ajax contact form. I have enabled the module. I have updated the ajaxcontact_settings.php file with my name and email address.

Every time I submit a message via the form I see the "Success! Your Email has been sent. Hope you enjoyed your stay" message at the top of the page but I never get an email to the address I put in the settings file. Any help is much appreciated.

thx,

In troubleshooting this issue I noticed that all the emails from the contact form are going to the email address that is entered into the "email" field of the contact form. I'd imagine that this is not correct since any visitor wouldn't know the site's contact email b/c is it not posted anywhere. Again any help is much appreciated.

thx,

Did you configure these lines in ajaxcontact_settings.php? The first line dictates where the message is sent to, not what the user enters.

define('ajaxcontact_youremail', 'email@domain.com');
define('ajaxcontact_yourname', 'Site Name');
define('ajaxcontact_subject', 'Contact Form: ');

Yes. This is the exact code from my file:

<?php

// the path to the module. the probably shouldn't be changed unless you rename the ajaxcontact folder(s)
define('ajaxcontact_path', my_pligg_base . '/modules/ajaxcontact/');

// the path to the module. the probably shouldn't be changed unless you rename the ajaxcontact folder(s)
define('ajaxcontact_lang_conf', '/modules/ajaxcontact/lang.conf');

// the path to the modules templates. the probably shouldn't be changed unless you rename the ajaxcontact folder(s)
define('ajaxcontact_tpl_path', '../modules/ajaxcontact/templates/');

define('ajaxcontact_youremail', 'jason@coldpancakes.com');
define('ajaxcontact_yourname', 'Cold Pancakes');
define('ajaxcontact_subject', 'Contact Form: ');


// don't touch anything past this line.

if(is_object($main_smarty)){
	//$main_smarty->assign('ajaxcontact_path', ajaxcontact_path);
	//$main_smarty->assign('ajaxcontact_lang_conf', ajaxcontact_lang_conf);
	//$main_smarty->assign('ajaxcontact_tpl_path', ajaxcontact_tpl_path);
}

?>

I'm having this exact same problem. I do not get any email from the program. I punched in my home email address and I received the email on my home address rather than on the defined email address.

Is there any resolution to this? Can someone tell me what file needs to be edited? I'm not afraid to hardwire it to the address I want to use.

There is more possibility that your webhost does not have/support php mail() which is used for this function - please contact your host on this they can enable it for ya.

Also some hosts have a restriction that an email cannot be sent to your same host (I faced with dedicated physical on MT) - but your webhost can get it sorted through a small modification to the php.ini

Also a small test would help:
create a simple mail.php to send out an e-mail using php mail function to see if it works:

@mail("your-mail/receipant","Test subject","Test message","From: Yourself <your mail again>\r\nTo: a receipant");

Hmmrf. Something must have been screwy with my host. Things are working now. Hope the OP got his problem ironed out too.
