[Typo3-dev] Forms...

[Kasper Skårhøj]

Hi LArs.


For all your first points I can understand them from a user point of
view. However its not likely we will try to change the default mailform
in TYPO3 significantly. Rather I would like to invite people to write an
Email for extensions that works with all these advanced features you are
asking for (and more in the future). 

So, write extension...

BTW, there has been implemented a hook in the core which means you can
have a PHP function called with the array of data that gets mailed. This
array can then be manipulated just before it is getting sent. That
feature could easily be used to fix most of the problems you mention
above.

I see. 
a) I don't know how I can direct an "ENTER" action to mean the same as
hitting the little "refresh" icon in the bottom of the form. The problem
is that all the small images you see around the form rows are all
image-submit buttons. I suppose one of the wrong ones get activated.
b) That means we should same the content in the session data. Might be
possible but not high priority. You can say the same for all other forms
in TYPO3 as well.
