Contact Form
Michael MiletteThe Contact Form plugin for Moodle processes information submitted through a custom web form, sending it by email to the site's support email address, if defined, or to the primary system administrator.
Examples uses for this plugin include:
- Contact us form.
- Support request form.
- Request a course form.
- Information request form.
- Lead generation form.
- Membership application form.
Share with us how you use this plugin on your site.
Note: This is not a web form builder but a form processor. You must have some knowledge of how to create HTML forms or at the very least be able to cut and paste the example included in the README file.
Contact Form templates
If you are not familiar with HTML, consider using the following easy to use plain text {form...} tags included with the FilterCodes plugin. These will generate a Contact Form templates and therefore require that you have the FilterCodes plugin installed and activated.
- {formquickquestion} : Adds a "quick question" form to your course. Form includes Subject and Message fields. Note: User must be logged in or the form will not be displayed.
- {formcontactus} : Adds a "Contact Us" form to your site (example: in a page). Form includes Name, Email address, Subject and Message fields.
- {formcourserequest} : Adds a "Course Request" form to your site (example: in a page). Unlike Moodle's request-a-course feature where you can request to create your own course, this tag allows users to request that a course they are interested in be created. Could also be used to request to take a course. Form includes Name, Email address, Course name, Course Description.
- {formsupport} : Adds a "Support Request" form to your site (example: in a page). Form includes Name, Email address, pre-determined Subject, specific Subject, URL and Message fields.
- {formcheckin} : Adds a "I'm here!" button to your to your course. Form does not include any other fields. Note: User must be logged in or the button will not be displayed.
The initial work for this project was sponsored by the kind folk at l'Action ontarienne contre la violence aux femmes. Contact Form benefits from ongoing development by TNG Consulting Inc..

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

I had problems installing plugin ... After I put the plugin folder in ../moodle/local/contact, the whole moodle does not work!
Regards
I love this.
But I got a error message like this. 'deny. "sesskey" field is missing or contains an incorrect value.'
I searched all document about this error. But I did'n find solution.
What's problem? Please help me.
moodle 3.5(20180621)
php7.0.27
mariadb (10.1.31)
smtp mail is ok
changed
value="" -> value="{sesskey}"
in the sample template
I hope to help some people.
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
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.
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.
Best regards,
Michael
