hi there… i want to implement a link that opens a modal with ajax-based contact-form with custom recipient. so my idea was to make a kirby-tag, that injects a snippet into frontend with the complete form… the ajax calls php-script (POST) to send mail and get status of sending… both snippets are t…

You can store that value in the session for the other script to pick up.

hey… thx for reply… as far as i understand it correctly, the concept of sessions do need visitor accept cookies, correct? that’s not an option.

Then you have to send your data with your post request, and if you don’t want to reveal it, you would have to encode it and then decode again.

I think with the new blocks editor, something like this would be easy to implement. In a textarea field, the ideal way would be a custom toolbar icon to insert the mailform tag with a select field in a dialog to select the mail address from a structure field of options. This field would insert the …

na… that’s not what i want to have as a final usage… the given mailadresses are unknown and should not be added to a list before usage. thats the same idea as before with a “simple database” that have to be curated.
