Send a confirmation mail after submitting a form

[Exotelis]

I'd like to send the user, who submitted a form, a confirmation e-mail that we received the request.

If you can image, that this feature could become a part of the core (without being a plugin), it would might be possible for me to contribute this functionality.

Any problem with using terminal42/notification_center for this task? :smile:

I agree that Contao's notification functionality isn't that powerful out of the box. But I think we should either migrate this bundle into the core or make the core pluggable/agnostic for message solutions. There a quite a few other places where messages need to be sent e.g. user registration, password reset, newsletter (see https://github.com/contao/core-bundle/issues/1613)...

terminal42/notification_center could be an option if it's compatible with version 4.4+. I hadn't heard of terminal42/notification_center.

Migrating this bundle into the core would just make sense if it's no longer maintained, right?

I used to use a plugin that is no longer maintained... I totally forgot the name.

It is compatible, see https://github.com/terminal42/contao-notification_center/blob/1.4.5/composer.json#L15

And why would you think it isn't maintained anymore?

I think he means EFG.

Yes I meant that EFG is no longer maintained. Thank you @fritzmg

It would not make sense to migrate the notification center into the core (as long as it is maintained), unless you would get their developer to work upstream ;)

Actually the developers are part of the Contao core team. 😉
