Hi Radiant list people, I’m new here!

First I have to say I was looking for a Rails CMS and I first tried  
Mephisto: it tries do a lot more like media buckets and things but  
it’s a real pain in the ass to setup and to use. Then I tried Radiant,  
damn this is the real CMS man 🙂 Love it.

But now I need a contact form. I installed the Mailer behavior from  
Elucidata. Here is my Contact page:

_body_ (borrowed from M@ McCray)  
\<r:mailer:form name=“contact”\>  
_Name:_ \<r:mailer:text name=“name” /\>  
  
_City:_ \<r:mailer:text name=“city” /\>  
  
_Email:_ \<r:mailer:text name=“email” /\>  
  
\<r:mailer:submit /\>  
\</r:mailer:form\>

_config_  
mailers:  
contact:  
subject: Contact depuis le site  
from: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid  
redirect\_to: /contact/merci  
recipients:  
- removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid

And here’s what happen in my production.log:

Processing SiteController#show\_page (for 82.248.120.85 at 2006-11-20  
11:34:02) [POST]

“email”=\>“removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid”}, “action”=\>“show\_page”,

How can I fix that ? Thank you!

You’ve got the indentation wrong there. Try this:

mailers:  
contact:  
subject: Contact depuis le site  
from: removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid  
redirect\_to: /contact/merci  
recipients:  
- removed\_email\_address@domain.invalid

Huh? Both code snippets are the same or is it just me?

oh…k…didn’t get that. Didn’t think it was indent-sensitive. Thanks  
for  
the clarification.

In the first example “from” and the following keys are indented an extra  
level.

Thank you John that’s it!

I just copy/pasted from [http://tinyurl.com/ygecdg](http://tinyurl.com/ygecdg) and I don’t understand  
where this bad indent came from. Anyway, thanks again!

Ah, this is not the post from M@ where I got this buggy config, but from  
the  
Elucidata page:

[http://www.elucidata.net/radiant/mailer-behavior](http://www.elucidata.net/radiant/mailer-behavior)

Also on this page, the “The following tags are…” section seems broken.
