Hi all,
I've configured the feedback module on my site and have it sending me emails when someone adds a post. However, the emails are sent from the DNN admin email i have configured. Therefore you cant reply to them directly, as you have to login to feedback moderation to get there email address, which is a pain in my opinion.
Is there a way to have the from address in the email actually be the value entered when the user submits the form. It seems stupid the way it is.
Thanks,
Simon

Hmmm.
I just configured the Feedback module on a test site and sent a message. The message's "from" address is the one that I used when I filled in the feedback form. The message was sent "To" the address I used when I configured the module.
How are you sending the messages? |

hi there,
Yes, realised my rather embarassing mistake. I'd entered an email in the from box in the settings my mistake, when I'd obviously been half asleep! Thanks again for your help and I'll make sure I dont post any stupidly simple posts like this again.
Cheers,
Simon |

Please don't do that, Simon!
At least half of my questions on the DotNetNuke forums I answer myself, sometimes with great chagrin ...

Those 4 items are included in the message and the one sent to the moderator. Perhaps I'm not understanding your question.
(If the feedback module isn't quite to your liking and you have some programming skills, the good news is that the source code is available and you can change it. It's not a complicated module, so it should be accessible. But, as I said, you'll have to have some programming skill.) You might want to take a look here for some inspiration: How to improve a DotNetNuke module (The Blog module)
For those with less programming skills, following this tutorial might provide some ideas: How to Build a News Application with DotNetMushroom RAD
There are also probably third party modules that may provide additional functionality. Snowcovered.com is a good place to check.

In the message and moderator I receive the user's email address, subject and message. However the 'name' that the user enters in the 'Name' textbox does not appear anywhere. Where can I get that information from when a visitor sends us a message using the Feedback module?
TIA

I don't have a site with the feedback module installed at the moment. My memory is that the name is use in the email addressing.

Unfortunately the name does not appear in the email addressing. I even had a look in the Feedback table of the database and there is no field that stores the name entered.

I got a copy of Feedback (4.4.3) running on a test site. The message that I get says:
Submitted By:
The email address and subject are used in the email.
My Feedback table has these fields:
ModuleID
Status
Subject
CreatedByEmail
ApprovedBy
Message
DateCreated
FeedbackID
PortalID
CategoryID
CreatedByName
