Contact Form

Hello. I've put up everything as suggested. But once the send button is pressed, an error occurs saying sess key is missing. Can someone help please? Thanks.

Hi Denis,
That is indeed what it does. However, if you are using Moodle in a different language, you may need to make some changes to the sample forms as the field names are language specific. For more information, please consult the README.md file included with the plugin or the "More documentation on this plugin" link found on the plugin's page on moodle.org. for more help, please post your questions in the discussion forum - link also on the plugin's page.
Best regards,
Michael

Please help, you need to make the field from the form the subject of the message. Thanks.

Hello Balazs, is it just {wwwroot} or are none of the FilterCode tags working?

Hallo Michael,
thanks a lot for your answer. I have found one "solution" for my issue with the contact form (using it without Filter codes).
It seems that the filter codes are not working properly within "local_staticpage". I realized that, when I saw, that actually sending the form goes wrong because calling
the index.php does NOT succeed via "{wwwroot}/local/contact/index.php". When I change this to "/local/contact/index.php", then it works.
Then I am not using the Filter code {wwwroot} and just give the correct path directly.
Best Regards
Balazs

Hi Pedro,
Yes to both of your questions.
External email address: There is an example in the README.md file under Optional Contact Form For Moodle Settings. Same idea except that you can just specify one name in a hidden field instead of using a dropdown list. You will still need to configure the email address in the plug-in's settings.
Labels for the fields: You can name the labels for the fields to anything you want in the HTML form.
Field names: You can use any field names you want. For multi-word field names, separate the words using underscores.
For the mandatory fields: You can rename these by customizing the language strings.
For more details on all of this, see the documentation found in the README.md file included with the plugin.
Best Regards,
Michael

Hi Michael,
Is it possible to use it to send to an external email and customize the names of the fields?

Hi Balazs, thank you for asking your question again. I did see your other message in my notifications but I think the site must have deleted it due to the source code because I could not find it anywhere.
This issue has nothing to do with Contact form. Contact form is the form processor (i.e. only after you submit a form). At the stage where your form is being displayed, Contact Form is not yet involved.
Based on what I could see in your previous screenshot, it looks like Static Pages doesn't like the carriage returns in the middle of an HTML tag. You could try removing them and let me know how it goes. For further assistance with this issue, please report using the Bug Tracker link on the Contact Form plugin page.

Hello Michael,
This works within a Moodle page-activity but it doesn't work within a page created within the "Static pages" (local_staticpage) plugin.
What could be the reason/issue?
I have checked the following. E-mails can be send from Moodle, that works.
Filter Codes are switched ON for content within the Filter settings.
For the local_staticpage I have switched ON "processfilters" en disabled "cleanhtml".
Thanks a lot for any tips and hints.
Best Regards
Balázs

Hi Frosina, I think I have resolved your two issues. Please read the comments I posted for you in the bug tracker on GitHub and let me know how it goes:
https://github.com/michael-milette/moodle-local_contact/issues/55

Hi Frosina,
Contact does support mutliple languages are supported. All you need to do is to go into the Moodle Language Pack editor and add your translation for the plugin. Even better, contribute your translation in AMOS and it should be available in Moodle within a few days. Even the templates can be customized in the FilterCodes plugin making it easy to apply and update templates almost anywhere you want. Did you know? If you only use one of the Contact Form templates, you can put anything you want in the others to turn them into global blocks that you can stick almost anywhere in Moodle.
On a side note, I will get back to you soon with the issue you reported. However, please report any bugs you find in the Bug Tracker in GitHub. The link to that that is on the plugin's page on Moodle.org.

Sorry David, the ability to send to multiple recipients is not supported. If you want to have multiple recipients, I recommend that you create a mailing list and then direct emails that list's email address.

Dear Michael,
the plugin works great, I've been using it for a while now and I really love it
the thing is,
I've been trying to submit a form for multiple recipients at once
and I can't see anything in the documentation explaining how can I achieve that
not sure if I could do that or not
Kindly let me know if that's an option
Thanks again

Thanks for the feedback Frosina, I will take a look at that this wekeend.

Dear Michael, thanks for prompt response.
I tried the ready to go filtercodes forms, but I choose HTML since I need to customize the labels of the form in a non english language, and if I'm not wrong this is not fully supported in the language pack.
I did install the github version of the plugin and I confirm that it works well for the not authenticated users except in these two (not common) cases:
- A user is not logged in but he has an account in moodle. In this case when email of this kind is used I get as a status message
Invalid $user parameter in get_user_preferences() call
Debug Info:
Error code: codingerror
Stack trace:

- Or if I do it second time in the same browser without clearing the browser cache, and again like a non authenticated user but using a mail that is present in the moodle DB, I get:
Invalid get_string() identifier: 'duplicateemailaddresses' or component 'local_contact'. Perhaps you are missing $string['duplicateemailaddresses'] = ''; in /var/www/vhosts/aicadigitalacademy.it/httpdocs/aica_academy/local/contact/lang/en/local_contact.php?

Thank again for your support.
