Extension:BootStrapSkinContactForm

The BootStrapSkinContactForm is a basic extension which adds a contact form to your wiki through Special:SpecialContact, that allows visitors to send a message to wiki admin (or any defined email address) and then diverts the sender to a thank you page.

Though the extension was developed for the Skin BootStrapSkin, though version 0.0.11 can also be used with Vector.

Installation

 * Create a folder in the extensions folder called "BootStrapSkinContact"


 * Download and upack into your new folder.


 * Open to edit contacts-process.php and add the following information;


 * Add the following to the bottom of LocalSettings.php


 * Refresh browser cache and navigate to Special:SpecialContact to test the functionality and create your thank you page, which will be blank on first use.


 * Return to SpecialContact.php to edit the sidebar (which will not work with Vector) and the form name etc.

Vector edit
One very small change add the following to Mediawiki:Common.css

Need for improvements!
I'm going to keep this extension in beta for the time being as there are several improvements I would like to make first and to see how the form is received by the Mediawiki community.

Improvements include a validation script so that the form cannot be sent without details (which it can at the moment).

Security of the extension is still under discussion with Mediawiki devs.
