Setting Up the Script

The email script, `email.php`, utilizes the settings defined in the Bureaucracy form. The script's settings are set using bureaucracy inputs either in the very first unnamed fieldset or without a fieldset.

Here is a list of the available settings:

  • to: Address where to send the email.
  • from: Address the email will appear as coming from.
  • subject: The email subject.
  • showFieldSet: Wether or not to display the fieldset in the email.
  • debug: Add Debug information in the email.

Available Patterns

The email.php script uses the Bureaucracy form data to generate emails. It replaces specific patterns in the form fields with actual data and sends an email to the configured recipient.

Here is a list of available patterns:

  • @YEAR@ - year
  • @MONTH@ - month
  • @MONTHNAME@ - month name
  • @DAY@ - day
  • @TIME@ - time
  • @TIMESEC@ - time in seconds
  • @FORMPAGE_ID@ - form page id
  • @FORMPAGE_NS@ - form page namespace
  • @FORMPAGE_CURNS@ - form page current namespace
  • @FORMPAGE_FILE@ - form page file
  • @FORMPAGE_!FILE@ - form page file without extension
  • @FORMPAGE_!FILE!@ - form page file without extension and namespace
  • @FORMPAGE_PAGE@ - form page name
  • @FORMPAGE_!PAGE@ - form page name without namespace
