I’m using Pinegrow 5.0 professional for personal. (Non-WP version) I’ve added a contact block to a page but cannot find any supporting JS or PHP to updated the “mailto, subject, etc.”

How can I do this? All the demo videos I’ve found refer to the WP version.

Thanks,

> Hi @armcomdes77, In programming, there are server-side and client-side languages. HTML is a client-side language. This means that it can communicate locally with the browser, but not with the server. It is the server that is able to do things like send e-mail. This is where PHP comes in - it is a server side language. It allows your HTML to send data back to the server and trigger an action. Many of the tutorials you find will reference WordPress. This isn’t because Pinegrow is WP-centric, it …

ok good luck with it.

i was going to tinker with that suggested stmp.js link but haven’t had time yet.

Some working mailing script that could be used with the back end and integrated with some PG mailing blocks would be a really useful resource here with the whole PG blocks thing tbh.

I know all servers are different ish etc and different hosts allow/configure things differently , but some scripts with a a PLETHORA of instructions would be good.

Or just a really good list of useful scripts , their sites, and how to modify them on the PG site/forum, tutorials, with regards to mailing blocks would be a good resource…

along with 10, 000 trained monkeys to deal with all the support mails the likes of me would be sending as we try to configure them 🙂

so thats why , a list pointing them to already existing things (ie, this smtp.js link) would be good as this is an often requested feature… if… anyone is _cough cough_ over at PG HQ… or back off holiday 😃
