p01-contact : simply add contact forms in your pages

[p01]

How can I put the contact form in the sidebar.
I tried putting (% contact %) in the sidebar but it does not work.

Like others said, you can (in addition to write tags in pages) call, in PHP, the parser (cf. documentation).

Is there any reason why this plugin wouldn't work with an email address with a .info extension?

After a quick look through the source, yes. It's also going to fail on .mobi and .museum at least, and reject a number of valid usernames. For a quick fix for your particular problem go through the code looking for anywhere it says {2,3} in a regexp and change them to {2,6}, Mr O'Reilly will still have problems getting responses though.

It's not really possible to validate email addresses in a simple regexp, from RFC-2822 you need...

Code:

(?:[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+(?:\.[a-z0-9!#$%&'*+/=?^_`{|}~-]+)*|"(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21\x23-\x5b\x5d-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])*")@(?:(?:[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?\.)+[a-z0-9](?:[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9])?|\[(?:(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?)\.){3}(?:25[0-5]|2[0-4][0-9]|[01]?[0-9][0-9]?|[a-z0-9-]*[a-z0-9]:(?:[\x01-\x08\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x1f\x21-\x5a\x53-\x7f]|\\[\x01-\x09\x0b\x0c\x0e-\x7f])+)\])

...To cover everything.

The pattern have been changed for next release, thanks. I don't follow the RFC-2822, who accept to much formats like multiple address, names, ip domains, etc... And the O'Reilly problem is a quote-encoding bug, not resolved for now.

Hello,

How can I configure the mail() parameter ?

Like this :

Code:

$mail->Mailer = “smtp”;
$mail->Host = “ssl://smtp.gmail.com”;
$mail->Port = 465;
$mail->SMTPAuth = true; // turn on SMTP authentication
$mail->Username = “youraccount@gmail.com”; // SMTP username
$mail->Password = “yourpass“; // SMTP password

Thanks

This kind of connection is not possible actually.
The development version lets develop and choose form action, so although there is only the classic "send_mail" for now, an action like "pear_mail" allowing SMTP connections is expected. Feel free to get started.
