Testing forms in Orchard CMS

[Kjszywala]

I'm trying to test form submissions, like contact pages, on my website, which is built on Orchard CMS.

I want it to work so that if a specific type of email input is entered, the form sends the email to me instead of the default email set in Orchard.

I've written a liquid syntax if statement in the recipients input field config, but it did not work: it returns a blank page, I guess the workflow does not continue, however when I refresh the page it says that could not send email.

{% if Request.Form.Email == "[email protected]" %} [email protected] {% else %} [email protected] {% endif %}

The contact form is built with Workflows.

Do you see anything telling in the logs?

In nginx logs I can only see the post request url 'POST workflows/Invoke... 202 ...', nothing else really.

I mean, the OC logs under App_Data/Logs. If there's any issue with the Liquid, it should show up there.

So today, it magically started working. I no longer see a blank page, but instead, it actually sends an email. The problem, however, is that when I input [email protected], it still sends the email to [email protected]. So, I think the Request.Form.Email is null in the Recipients input.

There is nothing currently in logs as it sends an email.

[Kjszywala]

{% assign email = Request.Form.Email | strip %}{% if email == '[email protected]' %} [email protected] {% else %} [email protected] {% endif %}

The issue was likely due to hidden characters, such as extra spaces or line breaks, in the Request.Form.Email value. This caused the conditional comparison to fail, even though the email appeared correct.

To resolve this, I used the strip filter in Liquid to remove any leading or trailing spaces from the input value before performing the comparison.
