Avoid Spam with our new Form to Email

Posted by:  /  Tags: , ,

If you want people to be able to email you from your site, but don’t like spam (who does?) then our new and improved Form to Email is what you need. It’s available through Websoftnet’s eXtend 2.0 Control Panel. Click on Form to Email, choose a directory to install into and it will be installed and configured for you.

Thanks to the addition of an image code verification field, like on most website registration forms, only real people will be able to send you email. This should help keep your inbox a bit cleaner.

The form is completely customisable and will allow you to put all sorts of form data into it. Anything from text boxes to radio buttons will be submitted to you by email.

You can change the email address that the form is submitted to, as well as setting up a page for the user to be forwarded to thanking them for their message.

Log in to eXtend (http://www.eXtendcp.com/) to give it a go.

Some Updates

Posted by:  /  Tags: , , ,

We have made a few updates to the system today, the main one is that you can now unzip zip files in the eXtend file manager. This is handy if you have downloaded a new CGI/PHP package you wish to install or if you are uploading lots of images. Just right click on the zip file and choose “Unzip” from the menu.

A couple of the CGI scripts you can install from eXtend have also been updated:

- ZenCart has been upgraded from 1.3.7 to 1.3.8
- OpenAds from 2.4.0 to 2.4.7.
