ragtek Contact Thread

[ragtek]

This Add-on creates a Thread when somebody sends the contactformular, instead of sending the mail.

After you upload the library directory into your xenforo directory, you have to go into the options ->Basic Board Information. There's now a new option "Contactthread Forum ID" where you can choose your forum.

Changehistory:

1.0.1
use now Forumchooser Option instead an input field
1.2.0
now the mailadress is also shown in the thread
new option: send also the mail (this means, that the thread will be created and the admin will also get the mail)
1.3.0
Including IP in the message
Using a phrase for the thread.
If you want, you can customize it (Phrasename: ragtek_contactthread_message )

This add-on requires my add-on helper framework!

(Donations are welcome, if you like my add-ons and want more of this great stuff for free in the feature^^ paypal )

You have to set there the Forum Id of the forum, where you want to have the new Threads created.
( anybody knows how to use an forumchooser instead of an input field? )

Use the PHP Callback function. I have yet to get it to work, but there are some good examples in /library/XenForo/Options/. Use the PHP build the select menu.

Yea, that's really handy.

I use this in all my boards, because i'm admin in over 20 boards, my mail is set as the contact mail, but why should i get all this messages, when i have other admins/mods which could answer/help the user^^
So i have a "secret board" where the crew have access to it, and they can decide what to do, discuss there, etc...

thx,
i've seen it, but i didn't find any place in the code, where they use it, so i couldn't get it to work^^

 

[Jeremy]

I attempted to use it to get a drop down until I figured out it was "1 = Something 2 = something else" etc. I am still getting the hang of it, so I failed. Miserably.

 

[ragtek]

Got it working

Just write

XenForo:option_ForumChooser::renderOption

in Format Parameters

 

[Vicros]

Good work on this. thanks.

 

[borbole]

Indeed. This is a nice mod.

 

[Two Worlds]

Thanks for the quick release !

 

[CFodder]

Great little mod thanks Ragtek, am always forgetting to check the email we get those contact emails on .

 

[Moses]

Great work ragtek, but I'm wondering is it possible to have the contact us go into the ticket system similar to reported posts?

 

[ragtek]

Hadn't checked the "reported elements" system so i don't know.

 

[Green Cat]

Thanks

Very nice ragtek. Only issue I found is that when a guest submits a contact message, their email address isn't passed for chance of response to them, as the ACP contact a user can be used to then reply to a guest message by staff, all the while using a noreply email address as the boards default.

Does this need updating to Beta 3? I installed it fine,but the options menu is missing.

 

[Decent60]

Very nice. Makes it much easier to answer people with problem with website or just general questions!

You mean it's not working with beta3?

 

[Travis]

You mean it's not working with beta3?

Not for me. The Options Menu is missing

 

[ragtek]

There is no Options Menu.
You have to go to the XenForo options "Basic Board Information"
