New Module: Contact Owner

WOW!!!!!
I have been working on this exact thing. Yours is much nicer though.
Oh, thank you for your work.
It is wonderful!!!!

hi,

The subject in the config page is what you will receive in the subject of the email to you (as the gallery owner)
The subject on the user form gets put into the body of the email, under the subject heading.

I did it this way so I could have an automagic email rule set up based upon the known subject line from G2...

If you want to change it so the subject on the user form is used as the subject in the email to you, open Send.inc, find the lines:

$ret = GalleryCoreApi::sendTemplatedEmail(
'modules/contactowner/templates/Email.tpl', $email, $form['custEmail'], $toEmailAddress, $toSubject, $headers);

and replace $toSubject with $form['custSubject']

hope this helps

Hi dazza! I am a huge fan of your modules. Thank you so much your time and work! Quick question, what part of the code would I have to delete/change to make the contact link come up without a user being logged in? Many thanks again!

Yeah, the contact link showed up after like 30 minutes. Sorry!

BTW, Do you do custom stuff? my site is www.fotoswitch.com and basically all I need is similar to your about page, but I need privacy policy, terms and user guide, and I prefer the links to be in the footer. I tried to manipulate one of your scripts and just could not do it. Newbie!! I could leave it as basic html like it is now, but I prefer it to look the same as all the other pages. Let me know if there is a deal we could work out. Thanks!!

greigmg,

can you check the permissions of the contact module directory and files are all correct - my contactowner directory is 0755, and the files within are 0644.

i think the problem is happening when it's trying to load the Admin template for configure, so as well as the permissions above, check all the files have unpacked in the right places and the capitalisation is correct.

Hello,

Very useful module.. thank you.
Unfortunately Gmail marks all of these emails as spam..
Why is that?

Dazza,

I've changed line 139 of send.inc to

ret = GalleryCoreApi::sendTemplatedEmail( 
	        			    'modules/contactowner/templates/Email.tpl', $email, $form['custEmail'], $toEmailAddress, $toSubject.' from '.$form['custEmail'], $form['custMessage'], $headers);

an get now proper E-Mail sent.

Seems I've needed the $custMessage.

LFrank, your change fixed also the problem that gmail junked all the emails sent via Contact Owner.. thank you

Same here! Thank you very much. I always love those fixes, if someone need some explaining, feel free to pm me.

Is there a way to use the contact module to contact the owner of a particular album? On my site I recieve emails intended for the owners of the album with comments on the work.

The possibility of contacting the owner of an album would be so much apperciated..With a donation..

Hey,
Make this Contact.tpl and put it in a local folder if you are using PG Theme. This will make the Contact Page match the theme.

If anyone could tell me how to get the sidebar gone for these add-on pages I would appreciate it. It says "change password" "back" etc.

Thanks for that great module, dazza!

I had to make LFranks modification to send.inc to make it work. However - the result look slightly different:

Note that the message body comes also on top of the email message...

... I can't get rid of that, but I am not at all a PHP crack. Can somebody help me correct that code to look the email message like it is intended to look?

Thanks all
-Simon

Yes.

Nor could I. Accurate. 100% to the point. Busy.

It wasn't cool or even meant to be cool.
It answered your question specifically and I
got called away to resolve server difficulties.
No need to get huffy. See you've been generally getting
wads of answers and help;~) I'll sort out your situation...
{g->block type="core.SystemLinks" order="core.SiteAdmin"}
...now you sort out my predicament - bots/permissions;~)

Robert...I'm not sure what the code you posted refers to. Can you elaborate? Thanks

icpix,

Thank you for such a useful module and your help on this thread.

I am trying to create a "Contact" page which will show just your module. I can't figure out how to do it.

You said:
You can call the Contact Owner module 'directly' using:
<a href="{g->url arg1="view=contactowner.Contact"}">{g->text text="contact"}</a>

So, if I have the Contact file as http://www.innasart.com/contact.php, and I include your line in the contact.php file body, it doesn't work. How do I modify it?

Many thanks in advance,
Mihael

Well, thanks now then, icpix.

Can you provide a link to your site, to see if I can figure by example?

Can anyone please help indicate how to activate Captcha for the contact page?

Gallery Version: 2.1.2
Gallery Theme: PGTheme 1.1.0 (RC01)
Web Site: http://dakanji.com

I have the Captcha module installed ok and the question wasn't on installing Captcha. The problem is that when using the contact module, the form comes up whenthe link is clicked as it should but I want to add Captcha validation to the form.

OK. Thanks

I recently had to toss my favorite PGtheme, until I can figure it out, due to multiple php crashes and unknown foo. I have been converting to carbon.

The contact contrib, which I need badly, does not invoke the CAPTCHA challenge. I have flushed every cache I can find.

I also switched to matrix, the old standby, and the contact page does not use CAPTCHA for this theme either.

Any help or thoughts? I am using the most recently nightly.

thanks.

If I put some more thought into this, I imagine it could be more elegant, but since its late, I'll give you the down and dirty. To log IP and referer:

update Send.inc on line 128:

                                        'custIP' => getenv( "REMOTE_ADDR" ) . " " . getenv( "REMOTE_HOST" ),
                                        'custReferer' => getenv( "HTTP_REFERER" ),

This will store the two new variabls $custReferer and $custIP that you can use in the templates/Email.tpl file found in the contactowner module's directory. Add this to templates/Email.tpl:

{g->text text="----- Source Info -----"}
IP Address: {$custIP}
Referer: {$custReferer}

If you wanted to go a step farther, you could cross check an file that lists known bots or regions of the world you wanted to block from this, and also check to ensure that the referer was a local (from your website) page before allowing an email.

Pengi2, I am having the same problem with the Contact page with gmail. The email bodies are lost as well. I think it might be a gmail bug. Anyone have a fix for this or how to resolve.

Thank you,
