Contact Form
The contact form is a module to enable to allow a contact form to appear on your web site that allows visitors to send email inquiries to site administrators without having to display the email address of said administrators publicly on the web site.
Contact form is available in all packages.
To begin using the Mass Contact Form you must do three things:
- Enable the module
- Configure the settings and recipients
- Enable the menu item
Enable the module
Go to "Administer > Site building > Modules" and check the checkbox for the "Contact" module. This module has no other dependencies, so no other modules need to be enabled in order for it to work.
Scroll to the bottom of the modules page and click the "Save Configuration" button to submit the form and enable the module.
Configure the settings and recipients
Go to "Administer > Site building > Contact form" and you will be presented with the form configuration options.
First, click the "settings" button. The Additional information text field is the text that will appear above the contact form. It can contain additional contact info, mailing address, office address, requirements of contact or anything else you can think of. Secondly, you can control how often a user can submit a contact through the form. Lastly, for settings, you can enable or disable contact forms for each user on their personal profile. Likewise, they have the option to enable or disable it themselves.
Next, click on the "Add category" button. For each category you add, a new set of recipients must be added. if you have more than one category added, a drop down select menu will appear to the user when using the form to select which category his or her inquiry falls under and the results of the form will be sent to those recipients. You can also set up an autoresponder as well as chose the weight in the list of categories (to determine order of the drop down select menu) and whether that category should be preselected or not.
Enable the menu item
Go to "Administer > Site building > Menus > Navigation" and, after enabling the Contact module, you will see a contact menu item. Enable it by checking the checkbox and dragging it wherever in the hierarchy you wish it to be placed. Then submit the menu configuration.
