I'm new to all three, and I'm trying to write a simple contact form for a website. The code I have come up with is below, but I know there are some fundamental problems with it (due to my inexperience with sinatra). Any help at getting this working would be appreciated, I can't seem to figure out/find the documentation for this sort of thing.
haml code from the contact page:
%form{:name => "email", :id => "email", :action => "/contact", :method => "post", :enctype => "text/plain"}
%fieldset
%ol
%li
%label{:for => "message[name]"} Name:
%input{:type => "text", :name => "message[name]", :class => "text"}
%li
%label{:for => "message[mail]"} Mail:
%input{:type => "text", :name => "message[mail]", :class => "text"}
%li
%label{:for => "message[body]"} Message:
%textarea{:name => "message[body]"}
%input{:type => "submit", :value => "Send", :class => "button"}
And here is my code in sinatra's app.rb:
require 'rubygems'
require 'sinatra'
require 'haml'
require 'pony'
get '/' do
haml :index
end
get '/contact' do
haml :contact
end
post '/contact' do
name = #{params[:name]}
mail = #{params[:mail]}
body = #{params[:body]}
Pony.mail(:to => '*emailaddress*', :from => mail, :subject => 'art inquiry from' + name, :body => body)
end
I figured it out for any of you wondering:
haml:
%form{ :action => "", :method => "post"}
%fieldset
%ol
%li
%label{:for => "name"} Name:
%input{:type => "text", :name => "name", :class => "text"}
%li
%label{:for => "mail"} email:
%input{:type => "text", :name => "mail", :class => "text"}
%li
%label{:for => "body"} Message:
%textarea{:name => "body"}
%input{:type => "submit", :value => "Send", :class => "button"}
And the app.rb:
post '/contact' do
name = params[:name]
mail = params[:mail]
body = params[:body]
Pony.mail(:to => '*emailaddress*', :from => "#{mail}", :subject => "art inquiry from #{name}", :body => "#{body}")
haml :contact
end
