Extras... contact form

Has anyone integrated a contact form into CMS builder?
Do you think it might be possible to have a few common CMS builder 'modules' that can easily be installed into pages in the future such as contact forms, comments etc.

We've had a few requests for forms that can add to the database (comments, contact, events, etc).
What I'm thinking we can do for a future version is have a function that can be called for adding data and a tutorial on how to do it. That way you could add whatever data you wanted to any section.

Nowadays we avoid email addresses on web pages as they cause so many problens with spam, an option to select a contact from a list and then send that person the form content would be excellent.
Best Wishes,

I'll put it on the request list. If you like I could just help you with the sql for it. What fields do you want to insert?

Hi Dave,
> I'll put it on the request list.
It would be a major option. 
In fact, I would like a form simple so that the visitor contacts the user
(the email entered in Admin > User Accounts > Email) :
firstname, lastname, email, subject, message
Perhaps you have a function to do this ?
Would be perfect.

So, you want an easy way to generate an email form? Do you want the email store in the database, or just emailed?
PHP has a mail() function that lets you send an email. That would cover the basics:
http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.mail.php
I think it might be a while before we add email functionality. But if you want to let me know what you want to do specifically and I'll make the best suggestion I can on how to accomplish it.
Hope that helps! :)

Thank you Dave for your answer.
Today, I found a solution which works well with your CMS.
That makes it possible to produce the form quickly. 
But, I hope that you will integrate a solution in the future.

I think that with all of the versitility that cmsB gives us that the form should be a high priority. Since I have been searching for tools within these pages to do things I have a re-occurring theme coming up .....
My suggestion is that IAT can provide us with the tools for building modules .... kinda like a module builder tool box that explains some of the more important or fundemental steps for building modules for this software. An "insiders handbook" if you will. I think that this community will be able to share and build these modules ourselves without having to pay any additional money for other software ... then integrating it.
My host has just made a change and I am unable to use Formail anymore. So All of my older sites have broken forms now. I'll have to go back re-do all these forms some other way. Would have been a great opportunity for me to upgrade all of these sites to cmsB.

We've been thinking a lot about both email forms and modules/extensions. We're actually redesigning our own website and have a number of custom email forms ourselves that I'd like to do with one tool.
That said, we're pretty booked with custom programming and consulting right now, so it will be a while before we have time in the schedule to do this. You'll still see updates, but the new features will be driven by what's being requested in those areas.
If you wanted to do it as a custom programming job I'd be happy to get you a quote on it. We could make a form builder with CMS Builder that would power an unlimited number of forms. Email me at dave@interactivetools.com and we can discuss that.
As far as an insiders handbook / API for CMS Builder, that's a good idea as well. The underlying code is still evolving a lot from version to version though as we add new features. I think it will stabilize more in time and we'll be able to do that more.
Hope that helps. Let me know if you want any custom addons and we can build them for you.
