Theme field on contact form

[cmckni3]

What is the theme field used for on the contact form?

Hello Chris,
I don't understand your question,
Note: contact form is a plugin that generates a shortcode to paste anywhere.

There's a select box that says "Themes" but the select box is empty.

[cmckni3]

ohh, there's a javascript error too.

Uncaught ReferenceError: lang is not defined
lang.message_no_response_fields

fixed on github

the template you need to create in:
your theme/views/html_mailer/my_template.html.erb

[cmckni3]

Is that for the frontend view or the email that goes out?

[cmckni3]

Might not need #125 if it's the formatting of the email that is sent.

[owen2345]

great!

[cmckni3]

or by theme on the form, do you mean layout?

[owen2345]

you can customize all your emails like this:
layout: create a file called layouts/mailer.html.erb
template: create a file called views/html_mailer/mailer.html.erb

check samples:
template.txt
layout.txt

the other option is not working well and will be removed.
This part of code was built for my collaborator the code is a little ugly, I will rebuilt in future versions.

Ah ok, I just wrapped a template with render_to_string

Would be nice if it used action_mailer.

Hmm, what you are describing is a bit too generic though but my solution is a bit generic as well. I think contact form 7 has the same issue though.

[owen2345]

Would you like a template selector in the contact form?

[cmckni3]

I was thinking about that. That might be the only way to make it really flexible.
