- easily included Google Maps

Please test the module and give us feedback so we can improve it.

Great job, Bleekk!

What's even more impressive, is the conversion of the Shield theme to XOOPS. It's AWESOME!!! We need a tutorial about how to do it!

Also, if this Contact module is forked or based on the standard Contact module that we have on GitHub, then it would be better to just fork it first from there and then add your changes, so it's easier to see what has changed, and it would also give us the option to have a "pull request" and update the original.

Once again, thanks for sharing!!!

Thank you.
I also want to thank the user @Goffy who worked with me on this module.

@mamba
I will take this module as a new contact module because lot of things were changed.
The module is on github so there is no problem with collaborative work on it.

Then it would be the best to change the name of the module. Otherwise, if we have two different modules with the same name, it is too confusing.

Perfect! 10x a lot :)
Working fine, full respond of all my xoops sites

Must be in installation package :)

I like DB stats in admin panel

You can think about other security method except google recaptcha too. I think its little heavy and most important that there is no option for other languages

And Mamba is right. The DB ID contact should be changed also

@brutalicuss
Thank you very much, you are welcome.

which reCaptcha method would you like to have?

You are both right. I will change the DB IDs.
The name of the module will stay contact.

Maybe you could change to the German "Kontakt"

When people search for "xoops contact module" they will end up most probably with links to both, and it will be confusing.

Maybe you can call it "bleekkContact" or "bkContact" or something that will clear show that it is a new and different module.

I have made some minor changes to have the contact and the map in a cool white box
This is interesting when people have different background color than the standard white background in the bootstrap theme
Just copy & paste the content of contact_index.html with this:

 <{if $recaptcha}> 
<script src='https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js'>script>

Hi Yurdal,

Thank you.
Can you post only the changes that you have done?

Great! It's not every day we see new modules released for our CMS.

Re: New Contact Module

brutalicuss Published 11/13/2015 17:51 Not too shy to talk Joined 06/09/2012 Comments 128

looks like personal compliant :) but I must say it

Initially, everything was fine.. but from several days there is an sending error for this form and all other xoops form like "old contact" "xform" and "liaise"

I had error receiving message in mail.com and yandex.ru

error receiving message for mail.com and yandex.ru, both:

 SMTP error from remote mail server after end of data: 
550 5.7.1 [BFD] Sender prohibited by SPF

When I ask for help my provider, they said:

 It appears that the script sending these messages is attempting to send with the blabla@mail.com email address from the BLA Hosting server. Because mail.com use SPF to verify their email servers, sending from non-authorized systems (anything not listed in mail.com's SPF record, such as your BLA server) attempts such as this will fail. Unfortunately we are not allowed to send mail on behalf of mail.com accounts, and any scripts sending mail from this site will need to be updated to use an email address at the domains hosted on your BLA Account when sending messages out.

I dont know whats happen, but all form stop working

Now im forced to use custom contact form like this:

blacksea.biz/contact

in all my xoops sites

I like very much new contact module mainly COS the messages are stored in our database. I saw (not ones) message in my database, which I never got in my e-mail (yandex.ru, mail.com)
I dont know whether to say "viva [size=xx-large]"[/size]free[size=xx-large]"[/size] net" but there is problem, definitely!

What do you think, is this xoops problem or my hosting provider or particularly my mail providers?

-------------------------

maybe something with google recaptcha?

-------------------------

Other (not important of course) especially for this contact form. Blank page for older ver., like 2.5.0 or older. But anyway, this is not a real problem, cos we should update xoops

PS: How can I set new contact form to store message only in our database, without receiving to providers? (this is a good option for me also)

10x very much, sorry for my perfect eng, I hope that you understanding my problem

hi brutalicuss

you have to solve this problem with your mail provider, it seems, that this is not a xoops problem.

For more information about SPF look at
https://ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework or
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sender_Policy_Framework

Bleekk Published 11/14/2015 19:46 Theme Designer Joined 12/14/2002 Comments 941

brutalicuss what is you admin email?
is it one from your hosting?

If your webseite name is http://www.brutalicuss.com
is you mail then office@brutalicuss.com or do you use another mail as admin email?

Re: New Contact Module

brutalicuss Published 11/15/2015 7:34 Not too shy to talk Joined 06/09/2012 Comments 128

Hi guys, thank you for the answers!

@goffy, nice links 10x!
But why spf method follow sender from custom contact form and prohibits these from xoops contact form. Strange. Other thing, it happens only from a week

@Bleekk, admin email is not related with domain name (in exml: any name@domain.com)
Admin email is this I register as admin user in xoops, but not related with the domain name (in exml: any name@mail.com and any name@yandex.ru)
And I use admin email for contact email form also.

Re: New Contact Module

Bleekk Published 11/15/2015 9:56 Theme Designer Joined 12/14/2002 Comments 941

Please try a Admin email that is related to your domain and tell us if it works

Re: New Contact Module

brutalicuss Published 11/15/2015 14:01 Not too shy to talk Joined 06/09/2012 Comments 128

Thank you @bleekk

Now (admin email is anyname @ domain.com) working for all forms, contact, liaise, xforms

Maybe I shud kick mail.com and yandex.ru..

Re: New Contact Module

Bleekk Published 11/15/2015 17:05 Theme Designer Joined 12/14/2002 Comments 941

You are welcome.
Some hostin provider have this security level so you have to use a sender email that is related to your domain name

Hi,

i've installed the module on my devel website.

i use bleek-001 in both production and devel xoops.

I think i have a problem or i've missed something somewhere...

Re: New Contact Module

Bleekk Published 11/20/2015 12:23 Theme Designer Joined 12/14/2002 Comments 941

Hi bosco,

This module is optimized to work only with bootstrap Themes.
Unfortunately I have no templates for the standard xoops themes.
