backdrop-contrib / contact_forms

Modifies core contact by adding individual contact pages for each contact category

Contact Forms

This module expands the features of the site wide contact form. It eliminates the need for the drop down category menu by generating a form, and a unique path, for each of the contact form categories. It also replaces the contact form at /contact with a themable list of Contacts with links to their contact form.

The path 'contact/{category}' generates a contact form for that category with a title = 'Contact {category}'. e.g. path 'contact/Jill Jones' generates a contact form for the category 'Jill Jones' with a title = 'Contact Jill Jones'. You can use underscore "_" or a dash "-" instead of spaces.

If a path is entered that does not have a category the user will be redirected to 404 page not found.

To define the subject of the generated form the path is as follows 'contact/{category}/Subject goes here' e.g. path 'contact/Jill Jones/Enquiry about Sales' generates a contact form for the category 'Jill Jones' with a title = 'Contact Jill Jones' and the subject 'Enquiry about Sales'.

contact.module must be enabled.

contact_forms's Issues

Category list generates incorrect URL for Edit

Steps to reproduce

1. Install and enable contact_forms module
2. Navigate to admin/structure/contact
3. Click Edit (under 'Operations') link for any category

Expected result

Configuration form opens for that category

###Actual result
Page reloads - no config form opens.
The cause of this is that the URL is for admin/structure/contact/edit/1 rather than admin/structure/contact/configure/1

Error message when all categories are deleted and new category is created

Steps to reproduce

1. Enable the contact_forms module
2. Go to the configuration screen (Structure > Contact Form > List Categories)
3. Delete all existing categories
4. Create a new category and save it

Results

Expected

Category saves and returns to list of categories with success message

Actual

Category saves and returns to list of categories with success message but also with error message

Notice: Undefined variable: cids in contact_forms_edit_form_submit() (line 237 of /home/example1/example.com/modules/contact_forms/contact_forms.module).
Warning: max(): When only one parameter is given, it must be an array in contact_forms_edit_form_submit() (line 237 of /home/example1/example.com/modules/contact_forms/contact_forms.module).

Worked out the fix. Pull request to come shortly
