Change form subject and sender

[suntrop]

Is there any way to change params like subject, sender?

• The easiest way ATM is by adding hidden fields named __mailsubject and form_options[from] to your form.
  I haven't tried it yet, but it looks so from inspecting Form module.
• You could also alter the $_REQUEST in your custom form validation but it's a hack.

Both methods are not documented so may go away in future versions
Best way would be to add such option in admin.

Piotr, thanks for your help. Works well with this …
input type="hidden" name="__mailsubject" value="My Subject"
input type="hidden" name="form_options[from]" value="sender@example.com"

I had a look at the same code, but didn't know how to use it within the html form.

You may set global from address in configuration, I'll be posting a PR for setting fromName.
For mail subject, I guess it makes sense to add such option in Forms model

👍 Sounds good! I checked the config too, but have no clue how to add implement a new option :-)

[piotr-cz]

Actually it's quite easy, you just pass on additional config value in the line setting from to:

$message->setFrom(
    isset($options['from']) ? $options['from'] : 'mailer@'.(isset($_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"]) ? $_SERVER["SERVER_NAME"] : 'localhost'),
    isset($options['fromName']) ? $options['fromName'] : false
);

Now you can pass on fromName inside of a form or a custom config file.

BTW: I don't like the option to set mailer values inside the form because IMHO it's as security issue but that's at lease something before there's dedicated field in admin.

Thanks for your tips! I got it working. Some settings should be outside the user scope (i.e. not within the html form) – since From isn't crucial, I like it more than editing core files – sometimes :-)

I've submitted the feature in #223
