FAQ

After the download, you have to make one include require_once('vendor/autoload.php');. After that you have to import the classes with use statements.

Example:
If you use only one package a project is not needed. But if you use more then one package, without a project it is not possible to import the classes with use statements.

In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
Some PHP packages are not free to download and because of that hosted in private repositories. In this case some credentials are needed to access such packages. Please use the auth.json textarea to insert credentials, if a package is coming from a private repository. You can look here for more information.

  • Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
  • To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
  • Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
  • If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
  • Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Please rate this library. Is it a good library?

Informations about the package craft-contactform

Contact Form plugin for Craft

This plugin allows you to add an email contact form to your website.

Installation

To install Contact Form, follow these steps:

  1. Upload the contactform/ folder to your craft/plugins/ folder.
  2. Go to Settings > Plugins from your Craft control panel and enable the Contact Form plugin.
  3. Click on “Contact Form” to go to the plugin’s settings page, and configure the plugin how you’d like.

Usage

Your contact form template can look something like this:

The only required fields are “fromEmail” and “message”. Everything else is optional.

Redirecting after submit

If you have a ‘redirect’ hidden input, the user will get redirected to it upon successfully sending the email. The following variables can be used within the URL/path you set:

For example, if you wanted to redirect to a “contact/thanks” page and pass the sender’s name to it, you could set the input like this:

<input type="hidden" name="redirect" value="contact/thanks?from={fromName}">

On your contact/thanks.html template, you can access that ‘from’ parameter using craft.request.getQuery():

Note that if you don’t include a ‘redirect’ input, the current page will get reloaded.

Adding additional fields

You can add additional fields to your form by splitting your “message” field into multiple fields, using an array syntax for the input names:

If you have a primary “Message” field, you should name it message[body], like in that example.

An email sent with the above form might result in the following message:

Phone: (555) 123-4567

Hey guys, I really loved this simple contact form (I'm so tired of agencies
asking for everything but my social security number up front), so I trust
you guys know a thing or two about usability.

I run a small coffee shop and we want to start attracting more freelancer-
types to spend their days working from our shop (and sipping fine coffee!).
A clean new website with lots of social media integration would probably
help us out quite a bit there. Can you help us with that?

Hope to hear from you soon.

Overriding plugin settings

If you create a config file in your craft/config folder called contactform.php, you can override the plugin’s settings in the control panel. Since that config file is fully multi-environment aware, this is a handy way to have different settings across multiple environments.

Here’s what that config file might look like along with a list of all of the possible values you can override.

Dynamically adding email recipients (requires Craft 2.5+)

You can programatically add email recipients from your template by adding a hidden input field named “toEmail” like so:

<input type="hidden" name="toEmail" value="{{ '[email protected]'|hash }}">

If you want to add multiple recipients, you can provide a comma separated list of emails like so:

<input type="hidden" name="toEmail" value="{{ '[email protected],[email protected]'|hash }}">

Then from your craft/config/contactform.php config file, you’ll need to add a bit of logic:

In this example if $toEmail does not exist or fails validation (it was tampered with), the plugin will fallback to the “toEmail” defined in the plugin settings, so you must have that defined as well.

The “Honeypot” field

The Honeypot Captcha is a simple anti-spam technique, which greatly reduces the efficacy of spambots without expecting your visitors to decipher various tortured letterforms.

In brief, it works like this:

  1. You add a normal text field (our “honeypot”) to your form, and hide it using CSS.
  2. Normal (human) visitors won't fill out this invisible text field, but those crazy spambots will.
  3. The ContactForm plugin checks to see if the “honeypot” form field contains text. If it does, it assumes the form was submitted by “Evil People”, and ignores it (but pretends that everything is A-OK, so the evildoer is none the wiser).

Example “Honeypot” implementation

When naming your form field, it's probably best to avoid monikers such as “dieEvilSpammers”, in favour of something a little more tempting. For example:

In this case, you could hide your form field using the following CSS:

File attachments

If you would like your contact form to accept file attachments, follow these steps:

  1. Go to Settings > Plugins > Contact Form in your CP and make sure the plugin is set to allow attachments.
  2. Make sure your opening HTML <form> tag contains enctype="multipart/form-data".
  3. Add a <input type="file" name="attachment"> to your form.
  4. If you want to allow multiple file attachments, use multiple <input type="file" name="attachment[]"> inputs.

Ajax form submissions

You can optionally post contact form submissions over Ajax if you’d like. Just send a POST request to your site with all of the same data that would normally be sent:

The contactForm.beforeSend event

Other plugins can be notified right before an email is sent with the Contact Form plugin, and they are even given a chance to prevent the email from getting sent at all.

The contactForm.beforeMessageCompile event

Other plugins can list to this event to change the contents of the plain text body of the email as well as the HTML body.
