PXS Mail Form, Drop Dead Simple Mail Form
I had been meaning for waaayyy too long to add a contact me page to CyberSurge and I finally got around to doing it. To do so I needed to find a contact form plugin. The first one I found was PXS Mail Form. This thing was drop dead simple to set up. I have to be honest with all of you though, I apparently was having an idiot that day because I couldn’t find the link to download the freaking thing. You tell me if you can find it:
Yea pretty dumb huh? Alright now that I’m done telling you all why I’m an idiot I’ll tell you why this plugin is great. Just like every other plugin you just upload it to your server and then activate it. But after that you just head over to its options page at Options>PXS-Mail. Inside the options page you have, quite obviously, a number of options.
The options include:
The subject of the email
A redirect option to send users to another page after sending their mail
Along with options to customize a few messages
After setting all the options up adding it to a page is extremely easy, just put the following code into the page where you want the form:
“mailform” inside of two {} (I’d show it to you but WordPress is being fussy about it)
Pretty great plugin huh? The only thing I don’t like about it is I don’t see any way to add any type of spam blocking into it, that means I will probably find a different solution to try and keep the spam to a minimum.
UPDATE: I have implemented the plugin here, you can see it working at my contact page.
