Hi, everyone!

How can i insert a contact form in all my K2 items?

Tks a lot.

Yes I'd like to know too - Thanks.

Just wondering if you managed to achieve a contact form in all k2 items. I would really like to include a contact form in all items that will send an email to the items author.

Any ideas/suggestions would be welcomed

Likewise - need functionality that comes out the box with SOBI / Mossets / others.

It should be a simple integration with the default Contact Item functionality / another form system like ChronoEngine or similar.

I would be prepared to pay for a plugin that enables this.

There is an example of such a plugin here: k2community.joomlaworks.gr/forum/topics/example-k2-plugin-for?commentId=3536014%3AComment%3A35101&xg_source=msg_com_forum

Can anyone customise this to enable a contact owner form please?

This would indeed be interesting, however, what fields would you want the contact form on each content item have? (Name, Email, Message?)

Hi Zahir

With K2's architecture, I was hoping that one could choose any of the extra fields, as defined by the administrator.

However, at the most basic level the following would suffice;

Name, Tel, Email, Message

At a more specific level, it would also need to have these fields;

Date of arrival, Date of departure, Room type (single, double, twin, family), special needs

Perhaps we can connect directly if you are able to assist with this job.

Thank you.

Hi Sean,

I see where you're going with this, such a plug-in would be undoubtedly very handy!

You could create a form using Phil Taylors JoomlaForms then insert it into your K2 article using the {form 1} functionality. We use this technique a lot to insert forms into pages.

Hi Dave

How would you include that form dynamically, so that it posts the relevant extra fields from K2 (Author, Email) into the form, so that the email is sent to the Author (listing owner)?

I think what we are talking about here is a need for a K2 plugin, that displays a new "Contact Fields" tab in K2 (Admin end), as well as in the Add a Listing box (front end).

I pressume that the same functionality could be used for any form extension.

Thanks, Sean

Hi Sean,

I am implementing Dave's solution using Phil Taylor's JoomlaForms on a development site with some success after figuring out how to add the item title in the Subject Line from the email sent. Here are the missing hint(s) that worked for me:

Create a new form which will be inserted into the K2 article using the {form 1} functionality and add form fields as required. Then create another form field using the "embeddedpagetitle" already built into JoomlaForms and give the field a unique name (mine is "pagetitle") - write down the unique name. Finish your form and move to setting up the form actions.

Create your form actions (thank you, save to database, etc) and then create one using the "mail" action type. In the Email Subject Line be sure to add the unique field name you created earlier in-between hash marks and in all caps ( #PAGETITLE# ). Mine looks like this " Inquiry - #PAGETITLE# ". Now when an email form is submitted, the Subject line of the email will be the title of the page where the email was sent from.

PS – I have no connection to Phil Taylor other than purchasing and using his well thought out components.
