Theme D8 contact form email

I want to look into this - can you confirm that you have added custom fields to the contact form? Have you done anything else (such as alter the manage display settings), I just need to know the details so I can reproduce the formatting.

Another thing that might be helpful - attach a text file with the raw source of the email.

I was just curious if anyone had come to any further conclusions on this issue. From everything that I've read, I get the impression that Drupal 8 is treating the contact form module as the answer to all front end, anonymous user forms, instead of the webforms module. My question would be, is this a correct impression?

If this is the case, what is the correct procedure for formatting the email message? Because with the way it is now, any form that has more than a couple extra fields really gets a very long email response. Below is what I pulled off of Gmail with just 3 extra test fields. I have a form that has 20+ fields and the client says they're getting 10 page emails as a response. And by the way, I tested this on a Hotmail account, and Hotmail ignored any HTML and simply returned one line. So 20+ fields would be a nightmare!

If this is NOT the way to handle front end webforms for anonymous users, what is the Drupal 8 way? Thanks for any suggestions!

My customer service gurus submitted a ticket for a format change. I would agree that it's not as neat and tidy as Drupal 7 options I'm used to working with or the account-related emails that offer an editing option in configuration settings. I'll dig deeper into this today. Let me know if you know of friendly ways to theme emails resulting from contact forms.

No news, the client's ticket is still sleeping on my side. I believe they could cope... Now I'm back with D7 and it will be a looong time before I come back to D8 :)

Is there somebody here that did find a solution on this.

My client is not happy with a email that is more than 1 mile long :-/
So really looking for a good solution.

I ended up just assembling a custom body in a hook_mail_alter() in a helper module, which lets me control exactly what it looks like (as long as you're happy with a plain text email)

/**
 * implements hook_mail_alter()
 * @author Paul Reny
 * Custom format the contact us form, otherwise it's full of nbsp terribleness
 */
function YOUR_MODULE_NAME_mail_alter(&$message) {
  // only alter contact forms
  if (!empty($message['id']) && $message['id'] == 'contact_page_mail') {

    // further restrict mail_alter to machine name of a particular contact form, in this example "contact_us"
    if ($message['params']['contact_form']->id() == 'contact_us') {

      // make it a bit neater to access fields
      $contact_message = $message['params']['contact_message'];

      // reset body
      $message['body'] = [];

      // create simply plain text body for the email
      // you could assemble your body text however you like (from field values, etc)
      $new_body = 'Name:' . PHP_EOL . $contact_message->get('field_name')->value  . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL .
                 'Email:' . PHP_EOL . $contact_message->get('field_email')->value . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL .
               'Subject:' . PHP_EOL . $contact_message->get('subject')->value     . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL .
               'Message:' . PHP_EOL . $contact_message->get('message')->value     . PHP_EOL;

      // add plain text body string into the $message['body'] array
      $message['body'][] = $new_body;
    }
  }
}

Hello All,

I have added upload file field in contact form. I can fetch all other fields using,

$contact_message = $message['params']['contact_message'];
$fields = $contact_message->getFields();
foreach ($fields as $field_name => $field) {
$new_body .= $field->getFieldDefinition()->label()." ".
$contact_message->get($field_name)->getString() . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;
}

But for file field it giving me some number. Please help me out to show file URL in email.

Thanks.

I also stumbled across this module Contact Emails which allows a lot of customization to the email body and subject via tokens, etc.  Works great from the couple times I have used it.
