2 | |
3 The web handler that extracts form data from a POST request, uses it to | |
4 populate an email template and then sends the produced email to a configured | |
5 list of addresses. | |
6 | |
7 ## Dependencies | |
8 | |
9 * [Python 2.7](https://www.python.org/download/releases/2.7/) | |
10 * [Jinja2](http://jinja.pocoo.org/docs/2.10/intro/) | |
11 * Other packages are required for testing, please see the list of 'deps' in | |
12 [`tox.ini`](../../tox.ini) | |
13 | |
14 ## Running the web handler | |
15 | |
16 Normally, the formmail web handler is run by the multiplexer, and configured | |
17 via the sitescripts config file. Please refer to the main [README](../../README. md) | |
18 for more information about the multiplexer and configuring `sitescripts.ini`. | |
19 | |
20 In order to activate this handler, add the following line to the multiplexer | |
21 config file: | |
22 | |
23 [multiplexer] | |
24 sitescripts.formmail.web.formmail = | |
25 | |
26 ## Configuring the web handler | |
27 | |
28 `formmail.py` can handle multiple URLs and forms. Each URL will correspond to a | |
29 group of config variables that all start with the same prefix, for example: | |
30 handler1. These variables are configured in the [formmail] section of the | |
31 config file. | |
32 | |
33 The URL of the form, where the POST request comes from: | |
34 | |
35 [formmail] | |
36 handler1.url=formmail/test/apply/submit | |
37 | |
38 The CSV file into which all submissions will be saved (optional): | |
39 | |
40 handler1.csv_log = /var/log/something.csv_log | |
