What would brings in term of features a new module comparing to the existing one? Right now, data are already serialized through the logger F3_MailformPlusPlus_Logger_DB.

If I understand you well, you mean to store the whole email (HTML or plain text) in the database. What would be the advantage over the current logger module?

I did not mean to replace the existing module, but to enhance it with this feature.
I had in mind, that the user can switch views using a dropdown or so to see logged submitted values or logged sent emails.

I do no know, if anyone needs this feature, but I thought it would be cool to log the emails to have some kind of prove about the content of the emails.
This may be useful for legal issues or customer support.

Of course...

I think it could be useful but we have to deal with the fact that many email could be sent for one form (many admin, many users)

On my side, I am thinking at the moment about the way to generate more quickly the HTML template / configuration. I am thinking of a kind wizard but I don't know still the form is going to have (BE module?). This would lead to a big time saving.

Maybe there is some possible links with the refactoring of the FORM that will land in version 4.3 (http://typo3.org/development/sponsoring/list-of-sponsored-projects/new-form-object/)

This feature was just a suggestion anyway. I don't know how this would affect database performance and needed disk space. Maybe I will implement it just for testing and see, if I can make it work properly.

Having some kind of wizard to generate the template code would be awesome, but also a lot of work unfortunately.

I thought about some possibilities earlier, but never had the time to dig deeper into that topic. I thought about using IRRE like powermail does, also about a backend module having some kind of AJAX driven Drag&Drop-Tool to build a form. Such a feature would be totally great, but it's very complicated to implement it.

I want to try to spot and fix as many bugs as possible, beautify the code and write a good user manual first and then think about nice features like this. But if you would like to implement such a feature right away, it would be great and I will try to help you if I can.

Thanks!

This kind of development could be realized in the frame of a customer's project. Let's see what it could be found...

Stop :)

Just to let you know: We recently had troubles on our hosting platfom with powermail, because it needs a LOT of memory when saving a record (pos_var_size of suhoshin module in php). Maybe there's is another, less resource-consuming solution?

keep up the excellent work!

kind regards,
