Extras... contact form

We've been thinking a lot about both email forms and modules/extensions. We're actually redesigning our own website and have a number of custom email forms ourselves that I'd like to do with one tool.

That said, we're pretty booked with custom programming and consulting right now, so it will be a while before we have time in the schedule to do this. You'll still see updates, but the new features will be driven by what's being requested in those areas.

If you wanted to do it as a custom programming job I'd be happy to get you a quote on it. We could make a form builder with CMS Builder that would power an unlimited number of forms. Email me at dave@interactivetools.com and we can discuss that.

As far as an insiders handbook / API for CMS Builder, that's a good idea as well. The underlying code is still evolving a lot from version to version though as we add new features. I think it will stabilize more in time and we'll be able to do that more.

Hope that helps. Let me know if you want any custom addons and we can build them for you.

Hi Lisa,

I'e attached a sample email form (emailForm.php). You can either modify this one (which takes some PHP and HTML knowledge) or we can custom build some for you if needed through consulting.

Hope that helps! Let me know if you need anything else.

how can i use this contact form with HTML not TEXT?

Hi,

Are you looking to be able to send an HTML email instead of plain text?

If so, you'll need to make some changes where the file sends and email. It's pretty close to the top of the file.

Under this line:
$from = $_REQUEST['email'];

Add this code:
$headers = 'MIME-Version: 1.0' . "\r\n";
$headers .= 'Content-type: text/html; charset=iso-8859-1' . "\r\n";
$headers .="From: $from \r\n";

Then change the line that sends the email to this:
// send message
$mailResult = @mail($to, $subject, $message, $headers);
if (!$mailResult) { die("Mail Error: $php_errormsg"); }

Give this a try. If you run into any issues, please attach a copy of the .php file you're working with.

Hope this helps.

thank you :-)

I try to add a CAPTCHA to this form but i dont know how..

from this site: http://www.phpcaptcha.org/

Hi,

I haven't ever you used a CAPTCHA from that site.

Hopefully they have an example form with CAPTCHA added that you can use for reference?
