Thanks to both of you for this information. I was just about to post a very
similar question, but I'm glad I checked the mailing list first!
I do have one other question though. I built a contact form and from a
functionality standpoint there are no problems with it. I used the
following to get the content of my input fields to be included in the
e-mail:
mail.send(to=['xx...@gmail.com'], subject='xxxxx', message=', '.join('%s:
%s' % (f, request.vars[f]) for f in db.message.fields).
(My table is called 'message', which I now realize may not be a great idea.)
As Anthony explained earlier, this results in a comma-separated list:
id: None, your_name: Cindy, your_email: *xx...@gmail.com* , your_message:
Hello world!
I would like to make a few subtle changes to this formatting. If possible,
I'd prefer not to show 'id' at all, and I'd like to show "Sender's name:
Cindy" instead of "your_name: Cindy" (for example). Here's an example:
Sender's name: Cindy
Sender's e-mail: *xx...@gmail.com*
Hello world! This is where my message text will be.
I've been looking for ways to set the formatting of an e-mail send through
a web2py contact form, but I'm not having much luck. Any assistance or
helpful links would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
