Copy of �contact the owner� email to admin

[SkGold]

I want to get the copy of all emails with the sender IP, sent through the �contact the owner� form. I will appreciate if somebody could post instructions how to do it. I guess it will be good for everybody.

Open contact.php:

find:

PHP Code:

$mail = new Mailer();
$mail->AddAddress($to);
$mail->From = $from;
$mail->FromName = $name;
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Body    = $htmlContent;
$mail->AltBody = $textContent;
if($mail->Send())
{
    $class_tpl->assign('title',LANG_CONTACT_SUCCESS_TITLE);
    $class_tpl->assign('pPageContent',LANG_CONTACT_SUCCESS_BODY);
    $class_tpl->assign('body','content.tpl.php');
} 


replace with:

PHP Code:

$mail = new Mailer();
$mail->AddAddress($to);
$mail->From = $from;
$mail->FromName = $name;
$mail->Subject = $subject;
$mail->IsHTML(true);
$mail->Body    = $htmlContent;
$mail->AltBody = $textContent;
if($mail->Send())
{
    
    $htmlContent .= "<br />IP: ".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    $textContent .= "\n IP: ".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'];
    $mail = new Mailer();
    $mail->AddAddress(ADMIN_EMAIL);
    $mail->From = $from;
    $mail->FromName = $name;
    $mail->Subject = $subject;
    $mail->IsHTML(true);
    $mail->Body    = $htmlContent;
    $mail->AltBody = $textContent;
    $mail->Send()    
    
    $class_tpl->assign('title',LANG_CONTACT_SUCCESS_TITLE);
    $class_tpl->assign('pPageContent',LANG_CONTACT_SUCCESS_BODY);
    $class_tpl->assign('body','content.tpl.php');
} 


I haven't tested this but it should work. Let me know if you get any errors, and I'll take another look.

If you do this you might update your privacy statement or policies so your users are aware that this form is being monitored by the admin.

Thanks John.
Yes, I probably need to think about it.
From privacy reason may be it is not a good idea to monitor all contacts.
I will check the code anyway on the test site to make sure it is working.

Another thought. What about to include the warning notice and sender IP in the email body to the ad owner? Maybe this will make the ad owners to stay alert?

Anybody has any idea what is better to do?

I think Eric is on the right way regarding the spam issues, but I want to implement something right away as my site becoming more popular and this spam issue arising every day.

Maybe you could insert a link to report the email which just automates an email to the admin, and just say that messages which are reported get read. Or randomly read certin emails. Just about any phone call you make for support or service gets the message "this call may be monitored..." I don't see it being a problem as long as it is stated upfront.

You might just note their IP in the contact form so they know it is being recorded. Then just send an email with the IP to the admin.

Hi John, it doesn�t work. I am getting error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_VARIABLE in /home/......./public_html/....../contact.php on line 124

Line 124 has:

$class_tpl->assign('title',LANG_CONTACT_SUCCESS_TITLE);

Hello Guys!

What files should I edit to change the following:

1. subject line the seller gets when a user contacts a seller via contact form
2. thank you message when a user contacts the admin
3. subject line admin gets when a user contact admin via contact form

In addition, is there a module to put multiple ads on a shopping cart where a user can remove, update or pay for them all together? Will it save the adw be saved in the cart if they decide to pay later?

I am not sure if this feature is already included on the script.

Thanks for your help.

skGold - find this in that new bit of code:

PHP Code:

$mail->Send() 


And put a ; after it:

PHP Code:

$mail->Send();

No such module exists, but I think it is a planned feature for a future version.

Thanks a lot John, it is working perfect now.

Another question.
How can I insert the IP address into email body sent to owner?
I want the ad owners to know sender IP as well.
I tried to play around but can�t make it work.
