Contact Form - Beta

[Mark]

VERSION 1.1#

Anyone using VisioList .07 or older please update your core before applying this plugin

Install
1) if you use clean urls, add the following to your .htaccess file located in the topsite root

RewriteRule ^sendmessage/ index.php?a=sendmessage [L]

add the above under

################ Beautify dynamic url sets

Now your contact page is located at yoursite.com/sendmessage/
If you do not use clean url it is yoursite.com/?a=sendmessage
2) Upload the plugin via the plugin interface
3) Emails are sent to your admin email address as you have it set in admin -> settings
4) if you want to add more form fields, open sendmessage.html and add your HTML, the PHP will auto detect, sanitize it, and include in your message.

I have some passive spam prevention in place that has worked very well for me in the past without bothering users with captcha images etc.

If you encounter any bugs or have any feature requests let me know.

Updates
28.01.2013 - Now works when php safe mode is enabled
28.01.2013 - Success message was not working with clean urls enabled. Fixed

Planned Features
1) Next version: jquery validation[/php]

Hi,

I tried installing but nothing has happened:
http://maxleech.com/?a=sendmessage
http://maxleech.com/sendmessage/

I had to manually upload it via ftp as my server does not support ZIP.

I also did the index.php changes

a=sendmessage dont work because its not in the redirect part of the clean url plugin. it detects ? signs and redirect properbly to itss clean url version
Originally this was planned different and we may need to make it like that.

If you add this to htaccess your clean url link work. The other one not, as mentioned above

RewriteRule ^sendmessage/ index.php?a=sendmessage[L]

add the above under

################ Beautify dynamic url sets

We somehow need to think about it how we handle this with clean urls without going the procedue and editing that file

 

[Mark]

good catch Basti, the "a" sources will need to be dynamic for sure. Adding to the list...

 

[Bart]

I've added:
RewriteRule ^sendmessage/ index.php?a=sendmessage[L]

But it just redirects me to the index page of my site

 

[Bart]

Fixed it
space was need between sendmessage and [L]

 

[Mark]

With some further testing, there will be an issue with form submits and clean URL's. I'll post an update to this plugin over the weekend that will correct this critical bug.

 

[Bart]

Cool

Also quick question, the title of the contact page is Maxleech -
How do i write a name for the page?

 

[Basti]

Looks like it has no $TMPL['header'] tag assigned. We will put that into the weekend update

 

[cajkan]

Is this included into VL 0.8 ???

 

[Basti]

Yes, you can use this plugin with 0.8

Hi All,

I'm getting to the correct page but when I hit send i get the following error and the mail is not sent/received.. any ideas???

Warning: mail() [function.mail]: SAFE MODE Restriction in effect. The fifth parameter is disabled in SAFE MODE in /home/tradingw/public_html/plugins/SendMessage/sendmessage.php on line 24

Thx

 

[Basti]

The error tells us exactly what is up. It is because of php configuration. Disabling safe mode would fix this, but let us update the plugin so it removes last(fifth) mail parameter, so one isnt required to edit the php configuration.
Update will come today, then we can try it out again

 

[Basti]

Plugin Update:
1) Should work now with php safe mode enabled - http://visiolist.com/community/threads/contact-form-beta.491/#post-5480
2) No success messsage was displayed when clean url is enabled
