emailing from Form Runner

Anno

Could you please help me to enable emailing from Form Runner as I must be missing something.  I've setup a simple form on my MAC and completed the following:

1. Reviewed http://stackoverflow.com/questions/9923207/send-form-via-email-in-orbeon-forms/9930039#9930039
2. Added 'workflow-send' button to the form
3. Set all the properties per: http://wiki.orbeon.com/forms/doc/developer-guide/configuration-properties/configuration-properties-form-runner?pli=1#TOC-Email-settings
4. Setup debug logging for orbeon.log in log4jxml
5. Setup oxf.xforms.logging.debug property in config/properties-local.xml for all logs
6. Restarted everything.

7. When I click 'Send' button, I get 'Document saved successfully', but no email message
8. Orbeon.log shows no logs on any process trying to connect to my smtp server
9. No emails received.

Do I need to setup/install/configure and email processor?
Does email work in CE edition?

Any help would be great,

Thanks
Anno

Which version of Orbeon Forms are you using?

The `workflow-send` process has been deprecated since we have more customizable processes. It is possible that the email sending part of `workflow-send` has some issues.

You can try to add a separate `email` button to your form to try it out.

Thanks, Erik.  I'm using 4.6.0, about to upgrade to 4.7.

'email' button worked.  Is there a document of other buttons?  I scoured everywhere in the docs and didn't find the 'email' button, but lots of references to 'workflow-send'.

Is there a combined 'close-email' button/process?

Great to hear.

It's all documented here:

    https://github.com/orbeon/orbeon-forms/wiki/Form-Runner-~-Buttons-and-Processes

You can use existing buttons and redefine what they do, or create buttons entirely from scratch. It's easy to do something which saves, then emails, then navigates, for example.
