Contact Form Field

The SobiPro Contact Form Field is an application that adds virtually any type of contact form to an entry.

The Contact Form Field comes with four predefined contact form templates that make it easy to add a Contact Author, Claim Listing, Report Listing, or Reservation Form to the details view of entries in your directory.

However, the Contact Form Field is not limited to these predefined forms. It allows you to create virtually any type of form designed to send information via email to the author of an entry, the site administrator, both, or any other email address. This makes it possible to create surveys, collect user information, and support many other use cases.

The predefined contact forms can be extended with additional HTML form elements such as input fields, text areas, select lists, radio buttons, checkboxes, and date pickers. Custom contact forms can also be created easily, making it possible to build virtually any type of contact form.

You can display any data available in the details view within the contact form. For example, you can welcome a registered user, display information that is not shown in the details view, or repeat specific information.

All field data available in the view can also be included in the contact email through the use of so-called placeholders.

As the Contact Form Field uses the Notifications Application to send emails, all contact messages are listed in the Message Center (Notifications).

  • Create any type of contact form
  • Four predefined forms included (popup and inline)
  • Standard HTML form elements available
  • Customizable via XSL templates
  • Sends emails via the Notifications Application

Remarks:

SobiPro 2 and its applications represent a major upgrade. If you upgrade the application, it is highly recommended to use the new template file(s) for SobiPro and its applications, as the old template file(s) may not be compatible with SobiPro 2 and the updated application.

Copy them to your template by clicking 'Copy Storage'. If you have modified the template file(s), you should back them up first and then apply your modifications to the new template file(s).
