GK Contact on home page doesn't work.

Hello. Here's my site: http://lauraroushphotography.com/new2016 and the form at the bottom appears to be properly configured. In the component itself, I have a valid email address under the "System - GK Contact" plugin. When you click on the "Send" button, it just errors out. In the Global Configuration - Server - Mail settings, I have it also in there correctly using the PHP Mailer.

Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Joe

Hi

Looks like the problem appears because form is trying to use a secured connection while Your site is not configured to use one. Please send me an access to joomla panel I'll see if it's because of settings.

I PM'd you login details.

Hi

Please edit file /plugins/system/plg_gkcontact/plg_gkcontact.php and replace line 66:

Code: Select all

      $cur_url = (!empty($_SERVER['HTTPS'])) ? "https://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'] : "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];



with:

Code: Select all

      $cur_url = "http://".$_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'].$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];


Ok, I've done that, and it seemed to get me one step closer.
Now, when I submit the message, I get the site error that says:

Could not instantiate mail function.
An error occured during sending your message: Could not instantiate mail function.

Now, I'm pretty sure this is not the case, because the site sends mails fine using the same email address on the "Contact Me" page here: http://lauraroushphotography.com/new2016/index.php/contact-me-today

Hi

Have You tried to configure SMPT in global joomla configuration ? Maybe mail function is disabled on Your server. Please check that and if this will not work I'll send this problem to programmers.

I switched to the SMTP mail version and that seemed to work.
Strange, who knows what was causing that, but it works now, so I won't complain.
Thank you again for all of your help.

Hi

Standard mail() function has a flaw where anyone can use a server to send a mail, so it's being removed from most of servers for security reasons. That's why it may now work on every server.
