You could use a special page or set it up on its own op, either way the biggest part will be writing the box to handle it. I don't imagine it would be all that difficult, but I'm not sure exactly how dkos does it. My approach would be to write a box that, when passed no parameters, produces the form on the page. The form would then post to the same URL. When the box is passed parameters via the form post (subject, message, contact, etc), it would send the email and display a message saying the mail had been sent. Whether this box is placed on a special page or called via its own op doesn't really matter; the box itself would actually work the same either way. The reason I'd have the box generate the form is so that it can dynamically grab the names of the admins to populate the list of people to email from the users database instead of needing to manually update the list every time the list changes. As a security item, you'd of course want to check all input, especially that the user to email is actually in the list! So the box would grab the list of people it was allowed to email at both ends, when generating the form and when processing the request - a security reason for having the box generate the form, as well as the convenience mentioned above. Scoop does this almost everywhere, checking perms to see if it's allowed to give you a form or interface element, then checking perms again to see if you're allowed to use that form or interface element. Hope this helps a bit, and I'm sure if you emailed the tech staff at dkos they'd be able to help you out a bit more. -janra On 14-Jul-06, at 8:54 AM, Chris Schults wrote: > Well, I'm not sure how Kos does it, but I suppose you could use the > special page feature to house your form: > > http://scoop.kuro5hin.org/guide/A_10_Special_Pages.html > > From: scoop-help-bounces at lists.kuro5hin.org [mailto:scoop-help- > bounces at lists.kuro5hin.org] On Behalf Of Rich Leino > Sent: Thursday, July 13, 2006 8:48 PM > To: scoop-help at lists.kuro5hin.org > Subject: [Scoop-help] Contact Form > > I've been searching for some self-help on this topic but I can't > figure out how to integrate a contact form into my site like this: > > http://www.dailykos.com/contactus > > > Rich Leino > > > _______________________________________________ > Scoop-help mailing list > Scoop-help at lists.kuro5hin.org > http://lists.kuro5hin.org/mailman/listinfo/scoop-help
