[Pro] How to put 'Subject' into FW forms

I need to receive form data with a ‘Subject’ so that it can be filtered in webmail to the relevant Folder. Can Freeway insert the Subject?

I can achieve it with a straightforward email link using mailto: email@hidden?subject. But how can it be achieved using a form?

Thnx

What are you using to generate your form mail? That’s where you want
to start looking. If you are using FormsToGo, have a look through
their documentation about customizing the form mail. If you are using
formmail.pl or another similar system, I am pretty sure it’s a matter
of adding a hidden form field in Freeway with the desired subject line.

Similarly the PHP Feedback Form action will use a field named Subject in its generated email.

I’m using Freeway standard Form Setup. An extra field in the form will produce just another line in the message part of the received form data. Instead of the usual brackets () as the Subject, I want a custom name like ‘Registration Form Submission’.

I’ve tried: Form Setup > Extended
Name: ?subject
Value: Registration Form Submission
This seemed a logical way to extend the form. But nothing is passed-on in the received form data.
Any thoughts?

Oh, and the Perl script is in a formmail.pl doc.

If your server supports PHP then why not use the PHP Feedback Form action and save another headache.

There is a Freeway moment tutorial on it’s use - just remember that it is NOT a requirement to change your page suffix to .PHP - if you do then you will lose the ability to preview locally

Thanks for the advice. I’ve just solved it by simply creating a new hidden field in the form and naming it ‘subject’ and giving it a value.

However, I will look into PHP form processing.
