Extension:ContactPage

The ContactPage extension implements a contact form for visitors. It creates a special page Special:Contact, which is similar to Special:Emailuser, but it has a fixed recipient, and can be used anonymously.

Installing
Copy the ContactPage directory into the extensions folder of your MediaWiki installation. Then add the following lines to your LocalSettings.php file (near the end):

Configuration

 * $wgUserEmailUseReplyTo: determines if visitor's email address will be used as the Reply-To address (failsafe) or the From address (nicer, and default). This is a global option that also controls how MediaWiki behaves for mails between registered users. See Manual:$wgUserEmailUseReplyTo for more information. Used since 37135 (July 2008). Requires MediaWiki 1.12.
 * $wgContactUser: must be the name of a registered wiki user, who has supplied an email address, has user-to-user email enabled, and has confirmed his/her email address if that is required on this wiki (see Manual:$wgEmailAuthentication).
 * $wgContactSender: the email address used as the sender of the contact email, if the visitor does not supply an email address, or if $wgUserEmailUseReplyTo is true. Depending on the setup of your web host, this may have to be an existing mail account. Defaults to $wgEmergencyContact.
 * $wgContactSenderName: the name to be used with $wgContactSender. This will be shown in the recipient's email program.
 * $wgContactRequireAll: requires name and email address to be entered on the contact form. This is optional per default. Since 37136 (July 2008).

As of 26698 (2007-10-13) you can require a captcha test for the contact page, if you have the ConfirmEdit extension installed. Captchas are enabled by setting $wgCaptchaTriggers['contactpage'] = true. Since 36793 (July 2008), this actually works.

History

 * 21348: fixed edit token check for anonymous users. Previously, sending the message failed silently for anons without a session cookie.

 * 26696: all messages now listed on Special:Allmessages
 * 26698: support for captchas using Extension:ConfirmEdit
 * 36793: fixed captcha support. Previously, the captcha failed indiscriminately for visitors with no open PHP session.
 * 37135: added support for $wgUserEmailUseReplyTo
 * 37136: added support for $wgContactRequireAll
 * 37174: suppress captcha if user has skipcaptcha permission
