EE team,

I’ve been struggling how to properly use freeform and have has some success while at the same time much frustration.

Problem: Contact Us Form 1. Gather logged in member Name 2. Gather logged in member Email 3. Gather Comment

Report this information back to template to be emailed to client.

If you have any direction or comments please let me know and don’t be afraid of insulting me about my abilities with freeform and EE, I’m still trying to get my head around it all.

Regards, Chris

Hi Swenke, can you explain why you’re using FreeForm for this instead of the email contact form along with the global variables for the data you’ve described?

Wonder Monkey,

Maybe the reason I’m using FreeForm is cause frankly I may not know any better.

Take a look at this: http://neednotsay.com/expressionEngine/index.php/contactUs/6_0_contactUs/

I want to be able to send an email to my client that will have the: 1. The already logged in member name that submitted the form 2. The already logged in member email 3. The Comment.

And a course a way to track these comments (does EE do this natively)

Thanx for your time, Chris

Hey Chris, take a look at the contact form. I think it does what you’re looking for. 😉
