p01-contact : simply add contact forms in your pages

[yojoe]

For fix, add htaccess in folder p01-contact/captcha

This isn't exactly it. It only allows to launch .php file directly in browser.
P01 mentioned already that this is a problem with friendly urls and paths.
If you turn off friendly urls, and add exception in htaccess then it will work fine.
But, plugins should work without any exceptions in htaccess, and of course with FURLs turned on.

This url for img, are relative url. For me, the htaccess block acces in folder.

Thanks for a nice plugin!

I made a small change I wanted to share:

I wrapped the following code in the CREATE ELEMENTS section:

Code:

// display fields
        foreach($settings['fields_shown'] as $field) {
            if(!in_array('no'.$field, $form_data['parameters']) &&
                $type = get_field_type($field)
            ) {
                $form .= add_field($type, $form_data);
            }
        }
        // add tag parameters fields
        foreach($form_data['parameters'] as $field) {
            if($type = get_field_type($field))
                $form .= add_field($type, $form_data);
        }
        $form .= '
            <tr>
                <td><input name="contact_id" type="hidden" value="' . $id . '" /></td>
                <td><input class="submit" id="contact-submit" name="contact-submit" type="submit" value="' . lang('send') . '" /></td>
            </tr>';

with this check:

Code:

if ((empty($form_data['status']['message'])) || (!(empty($form_data['status']['message'])) && ($form_data['status']['sent'] == false))) {
...
}

This will cause the form to not be displayed again after a comment is successfully emailed, and will just display the message.

To complement, I changed the sent word array to so:

Code:

'sent'     => array('en' => 'Thanks for your message!',     'fr' => 'Email envoyé.'),

SO it Says "Thanks for your message" rather than "Email Sent"

all the time wrote

Code:

Please write a longer message

[p01]

RobA : Nice idea! Thanks.

Oleg06 : like it's said, write a longer message. There is actually a minimum of 100 characters to write. If you want change this, modify the value at line #199.

All fields rules or default values will eventually be configurable in admin panel or tag options.
Before version 1.0 anyway

[RobA]

all the time wrote

Code:

Please write a longer message

http://neowebtime.ru/0/contact2

Change the value in line 199. For example I changed mine to 20 characters:

Code:

case 'message':
            $size = strlen($value);
            if($size > 20) return 1;
            else return 0;

edit - looks like I cross-posted p01, sorry!

[Oleg06]

thanks, works good plugin

[p01]

I'm glad you like it.

The way this is usually implemented would be a checkbox at the bottom of the form, something like: “Send me a copy of this email.”

You're right. Added to todo list.

For those interested, you can see new features and changes expected before 1.0 on p01-contact Todo list

Good night.

[yojoe]

If everything on your todo list will be implemented, then this can be the best contact form plugin

I'd have 1 more request. If user won't set an e-mail address to receive messages from contact form, then it should use GS admin's mail address by default.
Thus changing admin's address won't force the user to change settings in contact form plugin.

There may be a small problem in future, when GS will allow multiple user management.
Then in contact form plugin default mail could be chosen from a drop down list, taken from all registered users.


edit: 1 more thing. Although there's 1 captcha, you could develop a simple mathematic captcha.
Something like generating 2 numbers, where 1 of them would be shown as verbal, and user would have to enter result of the arithmetic action (as a number or verbal).
Like: 2 * twenty one = 41 (or forty one)
Users would be able to choose between 2 captchas.

@P01

Known issues

Privacy : the tag (and so recipients) is displayed in <meta> of output html. GetSimple use page sources for page description.

this is only an issue if the user does NOT specify a meta description inside page options. So there is an easy way to get around this...

[p01]

yojoe : Recover the administrator email was originally planned, but for now i don't know how to retrieve data from GS. For the math/litteral captcha, if i made one it would replace the existing captcha. To keep it simple.

ccagle8 : Hi. I will tell the user to set the description, but a simple usage require the plugin to do it himself if needed. Would you know how to access various information of GS, such as description, language or email administrator? And is it possible to reuse the pretty error message used by GS?

I should be able to work on this tomorrow.
Thanks.

How to access various information of GS, such as description, …

When a page is loaded to be displayed a variable $metad is created with the description of the page.
Running something like the following function when a page is being loaded should be able to change the description the way you want it.

Code:

function rewriteDescription() {
   global $metad;
   $metad = preg_replace(); # Strip away your tag here.
}

… language or …

What language do you want to check? The one used in the admin panel? It is stored in $LANG.

email administrator?

Probably at $datac->EMAIL. Please note I’ve never used this one so I can’t be sure.

Of course all of the above is only true when other plugins haven’t reused these variables in the global scope.

And is it possible to reuse the pretty error message used by GS?

Those are all printed by the /admin/template/error_checking.php file. There are too many different ways to get into right now in a reply so I advice you to take a look at what variables might trigger error_checking into working.

[p01]

Version 0.5
It starts to resemble something usable.

A lot of new things. Make forms from the simpliest to the complex.

Feel free to report any bug, idea...
Good evening!

Running something like the following function when a page is being loaded should be able to change the description the way you want it.

Code:

function rewriteDescription() {
   global $metad;
   $metad = preg_replace(); # Strip away your tag here.
}

I don't understand this $metad var... I can change it :

Code:

$metad = 'something';

But i can't recuperate its value like :

Code:

echo $metad;
$metad = 'TEST' . $metad;

So impossible to preg_replace. Weird.

The one used in the admin panel? It is stored in $LANG.

Perfect, thanks.

Probably at $datac->EMAIL. Please note I’ve never used this one so I can’t be sure.

Thanks. The email is stored in user.xml file, so i retrieved this way :

Code:

$userdata = getXML(GSDATAOTHERPATH . 'user.xml');
$userdata->EMAIL;

Did you use the global word? If you don’t your function wont be able to access a variable in the global scope.

$userdata = getXML(GSDATAOTHERPATH . 'user.xml');

Please try $datac->EMAIL first. Every getXML you use in your plugins will slow down the website and $datac should already have user.xml in it.

Yes, of course. See below.

You're right. But i don't know how to use $datau or $datau->USR objects ($datac recuperate cp_settings.xml datas), like in line #82 in common.php. Same problem than with $metad...

Code:

Trying to get property of non-object

[Oleg06]

how to connect language file?
Reload does not work

[p01]

You translate the plugin in russian?

I have not connected the external lang files for now, it's trunk structure (i didn't want to add this to 0.5, it's an error).
For now, temporarily, you can translate by adding entries in the lang() function in the bottom of the plugin main file or, if you use advanced tag syntax, by setting the fields title with :

Code:

fieldName "fieldTitle"

If you can paste here your traduction, i will add it to next release.

Thanks.

Can you paste tour TAG code (whithout addresses)?

One caution that the sent copy to me option can be abused to send spam.

This was discussed earlier. It was my first feeling.
In absolute terms any form mail can be used to spam : for visitors with this option, for those who set up the plugin with the ability to identify recipients, for anyone with a mailbox...
We'll see.

[rozmiar]

Congratulations! Your contact form is for me the best contact form solution for GetSimple.
A have some suggestions for new Version of the plugin:

1. Separate the translations file from the plugin
2. Attachment function would be nice
3. Fixing the Captcha reload - it doesn't not work.

Great plugin.

[p01]

Hi, thanks!

Separated language files are planned for next release. See Todo list.
File field added to Todo list and "reload" bug added to known issues.

Version 0.6

Nothing extraordinary in this release, mainly the separation of language and config files.

You can now easily translate the plugin. Please share if you do!

I have added an information in the documentation.

Good night.
