I was wondering the same thing and there is a tag for this http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/contact_form.  It works the same as the old one except the sentText variable didn't seem to work.  Anyway just upload into Plugins folder, over writing the current non-working version, and no extra work was needed from older CMS Made Simple (v1.0.4 no less).

use FormBuilder.  It has a default contact form already created.  Just customize as needed and add the call to your page.

Hi, newbie here.
Evaluating CMS Made Simple
Tried a simiple contact form.  The comment said the tag no longer valid.  Searched around and found some PHP code for a contact form but no indication as to how to use or install it.
Stumbled onto this thread.

Went to http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/contact_form and there is a list of projects relating to contact forms.
Registered, as it required.

This looks like a development code repository and I don't see how to download and install anything.

Where can I find out how to install a very simple contact form?

Thanks very much

jean01 have a look at this wiki article which will explain how to install additional modules...

Then open your admin control panel, choose 'Module Manager' from the Extensions Menu - click on the letter F the click on the 'Download & Install' link for FormBuilder...

Hope this helps.

That's not correct  ;) - {contact_form} tags lives ...

Hey,

If you still have not got it to work you can just use an external contact form. Just google for free contact forms. Here is one URL right here

http://www.emailmeform.com/

You can then implement this into your website. This is what I have done with mine. If you still are trying to use a php it is possible it wont work. Dont take my word for this but I did try using php password protection at one stage and it seemed not to recognize it so I came to the conclusion that CMSMADESIMPLE cannot have php scripts in the pages but only html.

Hope this helps,

Brian
