I’ve been developing web sites for a long time. So long in fact, I remember when PHP was barely a blip on anyone’s radar, and all my contact forms were using some form of CGI and Perl(thanks to my College teaching assistants). Contact forms are definitely much easier to develop and implement these days, and for Wordpress, Dagon Design Form Mailer makes it about as easy as it possibly can be.
Just about everyone will use a form at some point in their website, either as a contact form, entry form, or for just about any other purpose. The plugin can be used for any reason, either simple or complex.
The Dagon Design Form Mailer plugin has a wealth of purposes, including support for multiple forms, dynamic form generation system (including any number of fields, set in any order), the ability to set multiple recipients and multiple file attachments, an automatic reply feature, c aptcha system and other security features (such as email header injection), a templating system, different languages, and a ton of other features.
All you need to do is add to a post, a page, or any other division of your Blog. That automatically creates a section in the options where you can set the form fields, recipient and all other relative information. Using different triggers such as will then create a second instance where you can set the options separately. You can even call the form from a template file by using generate_data(); ?> instead of the regular trigger.
The majority of settings in the admin section are rather straightforward, except for the form structure field. This is where the actual bulk of your form is set. The example shown:
type=text|class=fmtext|label=Name|fieldname=fm_name|max=100|req=true
type=text|class=fmtext|label=Email|fieldname=fm_email|max=100|req=true
type=text|class=fmtext|label=Link|fieldname=fm_link|max=100|req=true
Will create a simple form like this:
Just by adding a new line to this section, you will then create that new field in your form. Any number of fields can be added, and in any order. The options are like this:
type - This tells the plugin what type of field you are adding. It can be TEXT, PASSWORD, TEXTAREA or WIDETEXTAREA.
class - This is pre-existing CSS class used to style the field.
label – This sets the text that is shown next to the field.
fieldname – This is the unique name of the form field.
max – Sets the maximum number of characters allowed.
req – This is an optional field, which can be used to make sure a given field has to be completed before a form is submitted.
default – This is another optional field which allows you to set a value of the field by default.
There are additional items in the help file, but this should at least give you an idea to get started.
Here is how the form will look like -
