Hi. New to K2 and still finding my way around - however I have managed to set up a dev site and putting together items and categories and so on.

What I would like to do is allow contact against items for a given category.

Let's say I have a category called Companies, and then when the user is viewing a particular item of category Companies, I want the user (web site public user) to be able to launch a contact form to send an email to that company.

Can this be done out of the box or do I need an extension to add this capability? I presume I can use extra fields to ensure the item includes email address, etc. ... (indeed already have extra fields for company address, etc.)

Hi.

If you need a contact form then you'll need another component. I suggest RSForms. You will have to either create different forms for each company or programmatically figure out the company address from the current page.

Or you could just provide a mailto: link in an extra field but then it'll just trigger their email program.

Thanks Olivier.

I had thought maybe someone had integrated contacts with K2. Obviously not! I'll go look at Joomla extensions then ... and look at RSForms.
