email for new version of eoCMS

confuser eoCMS Developer Offline Posts: 1528	Re: email for new version of eoCMS Posted on: 30th May, 2009, 01:18:06 AM Well yes, probably "Receive emails from site admins" or something similar. Hmm it would also need to have a queue system to prevent going over any sendmail limits specified by the host Please do not PM me requesting support or anything, use the forums, thats what they are here for

but then also you would need to have a way to stop email injections and emails being sent back to eocms e.g.

Code:

<html>
<body>
<?php
function spamcheck($field)
{
//filter_var() sanitizes the e-mail
//address using FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL
$field=filter_var($field, FILTER_SANITIZE_EMAIL);

//filter_var() validates the e-mail
//address using FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL
if(filter_var($field, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL))
{
return TRUE;
}
else
{
return FALSE;
}
}

if (isset($_REQUEST['email']))
{//if "email" is filled out, proceed

//check if the email address is invalid
$mailcheck = spamcheck($_REQUEST['email']);
if ($mailcheck==FALSE)
{
echo "Invalid input";
}
else
{//send email
$email = $_REQUEST['email'] ;
$subject = $_REQUEST['subject'] ;
$message = $_REQUEST['message'] ;
mail("someone@example.com", "Subject: $subject",
$message, "From: $email" );
echo "Thank you for using our mail form";
}
}
else
{//if "email" is not filled out, display the form
echo "<form method='post' action='mailform.php'>
Email: <input name='email' type='text' /><br />
Subject: <input name='subject' type='text' /><br />
Message:<br />
<textarea name='message' rows='15' cols='40'>
</textarea><br />
<input type='submit' />
</form>";
}
?>

</body>
</html>

also this has nothing to do with emails but why dont you have a flag of what country the person comes from in there profile so it is easyer to find out were they are from for example some one from france sets there flag on there profile as they join up on the site Smile

also if u need the flags i have a whole load of them and they are all small so they could be used they are about the size of the quick edit button

paulwratt eoCMS Developer Offline Posts: 909	Re: email for new version of eoCMS Posted on: 11th June, 2009, 09:21:09 AM yeah.. when the changes are done for plugins, I think and "update_service" plugin maybe an opion here to, that can do only related checks, email or PM generation, etc It could also allow for actual updates to be done, not just notification. eoCMS Dev Blog
