  Dear Michael,
  Merci/Thanks for this plugin, however no email being sent. I have tried all your recommendations, emails are being sent via eMail test. Furthermore no error is showing. Does SMTP need to be set in order to the emails to be sent ?
  Regards

  Hi Aurelien,
  
  If emails are being sent via eMail Test, then Contact Form for Moodle should work as well. They both use the same method to send message in Moodle so there should not be any need to configure or change your SMTP settings. I suspect that your form may not be configured properly. To learn more about the issue, take a look at the Troubleshooting section of the plugin's Wiki at:
  https://github.com/michael-milette/moodle-local_contact/wiki/Troubleshooting
  
  If you need more help or would like to continue the conversation, please post your message in the Discussion Forum. You'll find a link to it on the Contact Form for Moodle plugin page on Moodle.org.
  
  Best regards,

  Has anyone had a problem installing plugin?
  
  When I put the plugin folder in the path indicated in the installation documentation, I get this message "Sorry, the requested file could not be found".

  Hi Felipe,
  
  Thank you for taking the time to ask your question. The path you need to specify in the tag varies depending on where you put the form. The easiest solution is to use the FilterCodes {wwwroot} tag. For more help, post a message in the Discussion forum (link on the plugin's page on Moodle.org). For more options, see the documentation section "Creating a new form" at https://github.com/michael-milette/moodle-local_contact#creating-a-new-form
  
  Best regards,
  
  Michael

  Hi Feilipe, PLEASE POST IN THE DISCUSSION FORUM or CREATE AN BUG TRACKER ISSUE (see links on plugin page). I know it can be very frustrating when something like this happens. I am not sure what you mean by a folder called ../moodle/local/contact. Assuming you meant the correct folder location, you should not put the plugin folder in there but the contents of the plugin folder in there. For more information on manually installing a Moodle plugin, see https://docs.moodle.org/35/en/Installing_plugins

  Hi Polaris,
  
  Glad to see that you were resourceful and found a workaround. However, your solution actually results in bypassing one of the anti-spam strategies. The value should actually be empty and will be filled by the JavaScript snippet on the next line in the sample template:
  < script>document.getElementById('sesskey').value = M.cfg.sesskey;< /script>
  If you tried that and it doesn't work, it is very possible that you have other JavaScript errors in your page which is causing this snippet to fail. When it works, it requires that SPAMbots be able to run JavaScript. If they can't, the sesskey is never filled and you don't get junk emails.
  
  While your approach will certainly work, it just let through more SPAM emails. If you would like to continue this conversation, please feel free to move it to the Discussion forum. You'll find the Discussion link on the Contact Form plugin page.
  
  Best regards,
  
  Michael

  Hello Michael,
  Thank you for your kind reply.
  I am not a developer. I can not fix it.
  I will try hard to fix it though it will be hard to fix right now.

  Is there any way to send the email to multiple recipients?

  Hi Philip,
  
  Thank you for your question. You can send the email from Contact Form for Moodle to multiple recipients by creating a mailing list (sometimes called a group mailing list). Then configure Contact Form to send the message to that mailing list's email address. See your email administrator or service provider for instructions on how to do this.

  Any idea on how to use this plugin by making a form using Moodle form api

  Hi Umer, unfortunately you can't. It's not made to work with the Moodle form API. It's made to enable people who don't know anything about programming but have a little knowledge of HTML to add webmail forms to their website. If you can copy and paste HTML or create an HTML form and want form submissions to be delivered to you by email, then this plugin is for you.
