SID-02167: Send email and submit form

Status:	Answered	TWiki version:	6.0.1	Perl version:	5.10.1
Category:	SendMailPlugin	Server OS:	CentOS release 6.5, kernel 2.6.32-431.29.2.e16.x86_64	Last update:	9 years ago

What I'm trying to achieve is to give a user that is filling out an HTML form, the option of notifying someone by email, that the form content has been updated. I'm hoping that this could be achieved in a single "Submit".

I've looked at the example in SendMailPluginRestDemo and copied the content HTML form and script to my own TWiki. I changed the <form> within the example to: <form enctype="multipart/form-data" action="/do/save/%WEB%/%TOPIC%" method="post"> to allow the form content in the topic to be updated. With this change it seems that everything works (email is sent successfully) but the form content is not updated.

I'm assuming that when the email is sent the script does not continue with the /do/save/%WEB%/%TOPIC% action however I'm unsure how that could be implemented or if it's possible. Any help or insight would be appreciated.

Discussion and Answer

Do you want to update an existing topic or create a new one? If the latter see SendMailPlugin

BTW, the scenario you describe should work if you remove event.preventDefault(); from the submit event callback.

Thanks Peter! Removing event.preventDefault(); accomplishes exactly what I was hoping to do.
