CHAPTER 3 (Web hosting uk) USING THE DRUPAL CORE MODULES
CHAPTER 3 USING THE DRUPAL CORE MODULES Comment Module The Comment module adds the ability to allow users to comment on any content node type. With options for the display format, as well as the publishing workflow, the Comment module gives your site a large amount of flexibility in configuring user comments. Comments and configuring the Comment module were covered in Chapter 2. Contact Module The Contact module provides a personal contact form for every registered user. This form lets people send e-mail messages to each other without publishing their e-mail addresses on the web site. Each user can decide whether he wants to enable his contact form. The Contact module also provides a form for contacting the site administrator, the sitewide contact form, which serves as a simple and effective way to gather feedback. Using the Personal Contact Form When the Contact module is enabled, a Contact tab (user/uid/contact) will be visible on each user s profile screen. Users can enable their personal contact form from their user account editing page by checking the Personal Contact Form field in the Contact Settings section. When a user has allowed it, other registered users can send him messages via the Contact tab. There is a limit on the number of messages users can send per hour, to prevent abuse. Using the Sitewide Contact Form The sitewide contact form (Drupal path contact) is quite useful because you can set up a number of categories that users can choose from before they submit the form. Depending on which category they choose, the contact e-mail can be sent to different addresses, allowing support questions to go to support@yoursite.com, suggestions to suggestions@yoursite.com, and so forth. You can also configure the sitewide contact form to send these e-mail messages to multiple recipients. To set up categories that people can choose from, choose administer . contact (admin/contact). The Add Category tab on this page takes you to a form with three fields: The Category field identifies the purpose of the mail that the user is sending, as well as determines who will receive it. The Recipients field is for the contact e-mail address. If more than one e-mail address is to receive the mail, enter them here separated by commas. Every time a user submits the sitewide contact form for this category, all of these e-mail addresses will receive the message. The Auto-reply field is for an optional message that will be mailed to the user s e-mail address, possibly thanking him for his submission or relaying other information. If you leave this field empty, no auto-reply e-mail will be sent. If you would like to have a contact us link in your navigation menu, and you have the Menu module enabled, select administer . menus (admin/menu) to access the list of enabled and disabled menu items. One of the disabled items is contact us. Enable this menu item, and the link will appear in your navigation menu.
