CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,

CMS Made Simple is great. Have it installed and have got my own template working fine. Now I want to put in a contact submssion form on the site and my usual php code will not work. Can someone please tell me how a form can be handled?

Thanks.

Try the built-in module:

Thanks for that, perfect. Now what if I wanted to create my own form with my own fields and what not?

I think wishy talked about putting together some documentation/tutorial on working with forms. I haven't attempted to integrate my own forms, but I imagine you could do it with a user defined tag (in the Plugin Management section of the admin menu).

wishy?

The built in contact module is not working on my website.
I have a valid email address in the tag, I completed all fields, the email address is a valid email address. I keep getting the message:

Sorry, the message was not sent. The server may be down!

Are there any other settings I need to make?

Hmm. That's interesting. I kind of wondered if there were any settings in config.php to set it up to use different mail servers. I haven't checked into it, nor have I actually tried to use the contact form on a production site, yet.

wishy???

Well, the first thing you should do is take the @ away from in front of the mail command on line 55 of plugins/function.contact_form.php.

That should give you a better error message and will make it easier to trck down.

I removed the @ from line 55. No help, same one line message.

Html created (view source): Should there be a parameter in the action = ?

That's all I have to get my contact form working.

does your server use phpsuexec?
