Cfmail processing error - what's wrong with my code?

Report · May 08, 2009

Hi Everybody,

I am not a tech person but I'll try my best describing the situation.

When I yesterday tried to fix an error message (which always showed when not all requiered fields were filled in at our company's "Request for Quote" site), I think I messed up the whole inquiry-forwarding system. I must have deleted everything.

My company's using Macromedia Dreamwaver 8, and the guy who wrote the pages are long gone. If only I could revert the present non-functioning system how it used to be but it's too late, I already turned my comp off yesterday.

The way it should work is that the customer types in all info we need from him, then pushes the submit button, which then sends an email to us and leads the customer to our "Thank you for your inquiry" page. If some eror happens, it brings the customer to our mailto.cfm page, which now shows some error message I do not understand about the 3rd line,

variable.fieldnames = ListDeleteAt(variable.fieldnames, ListFindNoCase(variable.fieldnames,"RECIPIENT") );

Here's what I found as an old-timer back-up to our mailto.cfm page (which I altered yesterday, and that caused the whole problem), which no longer works either:

<cfscript>
    variable.fieldnames = form.fieldnames;
    variable.fieldnames = ListDeleteAt(variable.fieldnames, ListFindNoCase(variable.fieldnames,"RECIPIENT") );
    variable.fieldnames = ListDeleteAt(variable.fieldnames, ListFindNoCase(variable.fieldnames,"SUBJECT") );
    variable.fieldnames = ListDeleteAt(variable.fieldnames, ListFindNoCase(variable.fieldnames,"THANKURL") );
</cfscript>
<cfparam name="FORM.SUBJECT" default="Web Site Form">
<cfmail to="ouremail@ourdomain.com" from="inforequest@ourdomain.com" subject="#FORM.SUBJECT#">#FORM.SUBJECT#
Sent #DateFormat(now(),'dddd mmmm d, yyyy')# @ #TimeFormat(now(),'h:mm tt')#

<cfloop index="i" list="#variable.fieldnames#"><cfif len(evaluate("form.#i#"))><cfif uCase(right(i,6)) eq "_BREAK">#chr(13)#</cfif>#ReplaceNoCase(i,"_BREAK","")#:#RepeatString(" ", evaluate(15-len(ReplaceNoCase(i,"_BREAK",""))))# #Replace( evaluate("form.#i#"), chr(10), chr(10) & RepeatString(" ",17), "All" )# #chr(13)#</cfif></cfloop>
</cfmail>

It seems simple, the to-field is correct, the from-field must be too, why do you still think that it's not forwarding the inquiries as emails any more? Where is this code broken?

I would welcome all suggestions, I really need your help!
