how do i use a contact form

swati.miniyar · 2007-08-13 12:45:51

i want to submit a form as we can do in php and html..
In my form i am having name,email and message of the user..i want to submit this information to my sites administrator..
I have designed this form so that user/visitors of my site can contact to that site..So where should i submit this form most appropriately?
and how to do it?

i am having one more query..
i am having one page where i am displaying my complete article..On the same page i want to show
only titles of the articles by same author..I am using one form for displaying that article.
<txp:related_articles> will take the specific author name..

Pluging chh_related_articles also gives error like unknown tag attribute as mentioned in its forum thread..

Hi,

If you want to have a contact form, try using the zem_contact_reborn plug-in. It has in-built form validation, can be tailored to your needs and is reasonably secure.

I don’t think txp:related_articles will take the author attribute but chh_related_articles will:

<txp:chh_related_articles relation="author" />

Alternatively you can use txp:article_custom as described in an article by zem.

Not sure about the errors with chh_related_articles. The similar chh_article_custom produces similar errors but these appear only in debug/test mode and disappear once you set your site status to Live in the admin area.

PS: a more specific title to your question e.g. “How do I get a list of related articles by the same author?” will help you get better/more responses.

how do i get a list of articles by same author?
i am dispalying a full article.on that same page i want to show other article title by that author only..
what can be the possible solution?chh_related article is giving me errors like -unknown tag attribute for all the attributes which i have not defined ..

Please help me out..

Does chh_related_articles output what you want despite the error notices? Did you try switching the site status to ‘live’ in the admin? Do the notices then not appear?

I also suggested another way using article_custom: read the article by zem – there’s an example with authors about half way down the page.

thanks for your kind help..
i have tried article_custom:but i ont want the authors name to be hardcoded..
i was using woder tag also..
but it is not showing me result for some authors.
And also-
i am having 1 author having 12 articles.But it will not show “same author’s article” list for all these 12 articles.It is showing for only few of them..

my code is..

<div class=“authorArticles”> <txp:asy_wondertag>

</txp:asy_wondertag>
