Contact form

[ljhelbo]

I have a contact form, which I use on several of my websites. It was developed based on a number of different scripts and i have now changed it to make it work as a PivotX extension. I still have to improve the integration. I think that can be better. But at least it now works, so if anybody is interested.

It has:
- Multiple recipients
- Multilanguage user interface
- Smtp authentication
- Captcha

and some other things. You can see how it works, if you go to my website at http://www.salldata.dk and click the blue email-icon to the very right. If you want to try it, you can get it via this link: http://www.salldata.dk/scripts/contact_form.zip

The extension has been officially published on the extensions site:
Visit http://extensions.pivotx.net/entry/65/contactform for more info or download.

Don't you want it to become a true PivotX extension? If so you can submit it.
btw there already exists an extension for forms: Bonusforms http://extensions.pivotx.net/entry/49/bonusforms

I probably will, but I regard this as beta-1

The next version is available under the above link.

This extension is currently under review to be added to the official extensions.

Sorry to say that I just found a small problem. For this extension you may place the names and emails of possible recipients in a Google spreadsheet. From there they are read with php fgets. Now I realised that this will not work if you have allow_url_fopen = off in your php.ini and some hosters may not allow you to change this value.

For this reason I have just submitted a new version, where fgets is replaced by curl.

The new version is published on the extensions site!

And if you don't have PHP with Curl support

The best solution is to use the HTTP library/client that is included with PivotX itself - Snoopy:

Code: Select all

        require_once $PIVOTX['paths']['pivotx_path']."/includes/Snoopy.class.php";
        $client = new Snoopy();
        @$client->fetch("URL_TO_YOUR_FILE");
        $status = $client->status;
        if ($status < 200 || $status >= 300) {
            die("Error"); // If you accept redirects replace 300 with 400
        } else {
            // Do something with $client->results which contains the file data.
        }


Snoopy can do POST request to using the function submit - see inline documentation in includes/Snoopy.class.php.

Yes, I see I will look into it, but it may take a few days ....
