The following is a snippet of my template that has a contact form.  I’m want to pull an e-mail address from a weblog field.  If I hard-code the recipients parameter, the page works, if I use my weblog field variable, I get a completely blank page.  If I test with a dummy variable, like {segment_1}, the page loads OK.

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="Projects" limit="1" url_title="{segment_1}” }

{exp✉️contact_form user_recipients="false" recipients=”{project_email}” charset=“utf-8”}

I am afraid it’s a parse order issue. If you have to use a custom field for the recipients parameter, try putting the whole tag in a sub-template, like so:

{exp:weblog:entries ...}
   {embed includes/mail my_recipient="{project_email}"}
{/exp:weblog:entries}

In includes/mail you’d then have:

{exp:email:contact_form recipients="{embed:my_recipient}" ...}

Makes sense?

Thanks.  That helps, and gives me the workaround that I was looking for.

By the way, I think the blank page occurred because the e-mail was being formatted/encoded with JavaScript.  When I turned that off, I got the message that I have seen mentioned in these forums - something to the effect of an empty recipients field.

So is all well now, bria2?
