multiple contacts in contact_form

[kermit]

simple addition to the contact_us tag to support multiple contacts without resorting to an extra module or two....

example:

{contact_form 'Sales:sales@domain.com;Support:support1@domain.com,support2@domain.com'}

adds a dropdown in the contact from with "Sales" and "Support" as the options, and the form getting
sent to the chosen contact(s).

":" separates the 'displayed name' for the 'contact' from the email addresses assigned to it,
"," separates each email address in a contact (like it does now), and
";" separates the 'contacts'.

you could add a default='sales' option or something to specify if a specific drop down item should be pre-selected, and if not specified, it displays 'select a recipient' as the top (and unselectable) option instead.

if there's only one 'contact' specified in the parameters, then the drop down menu isn't displayed in the form.

I made a solution: (red is what i changed):

Call it with: {contact_form email="Name:yourname@yourdomain.com;Other Name:othermail@domain.com"}

Email addresses will be not be visible.

(I wanted to make it as Code, but then colors will not be shown like i want)

Thanks for this!

This is a very nice modification to the stock contact form; ANYONE wanting or needing multiple choices for targets (of the form) needs this.


and this should be in the core!

This plugin will most likely not be included in the 2.0 release (or any subsequent 1.x releases).  The recommended method is to use the FormBuilder module.

NO contact/email form in the core of a CMS?  did I miss the part where CMSMS merged with WordPress? 

I will spare everyone the rant that's brewing right now.. but please let me know when you're soliciting opinions, requests and other thoughts from end-users, site administrators, site developers and hosts (we are 'all the above') about what features should be bundled in the CORE of CMSMS 2.


oh, and I don't even think FormBuilder can DO what this modification can.. at least without some custom coding. "Email results based on pulldown" does NOT allow for multiple email addresses per destination choice.
