Simple Contact provides a short form that allows users to contact you and for you to automatically respond with an acknowledgment page and email.
If you are using Omeka.net, see instructions for using the plugin in Help section of Omeka.net.
Configuring
- First, determine what email address users will reply to. If you leave it blank, your users will not be sent a confirmation email acknowledging their submissions. Then determine what email address will receive notifications that a user has contacted you via the form. If you intend to make a contact form available for the public, you must enter an email address or else you will not receive messages from your users.
- Next you may configure the text used in the subject lines for the email that is sent from your site and in the acknowledgment email thanking users for contacting the site.
- The following 3 questions relate to the contact page in your site. First, you will be asked to name the title of your contact page. Then add any text you want to appear on the page above the form. Lastly, check the box if you want to add a link to the contact page in the main navigation. This means that you do not need to edit the theme files to make the form available on the public site.
- Once users submit the form, they will be taken to a thank you page, which you can configure next by titling the page and adding any text.
- Finally, make sure that you have configured ReCaptcha for your Omeka installation. If you do not follow the instructions in that link and enable ReCaptcha, then spammers may be able to use your site to flood you with unwanted email.
