Advanced Contact Us ????

[Speedy1050]

I am looking for an advanced contact us module or hack.

The standard contacts for VB is OK, but I want to list some categories a user/visitor can select like WEBSITE, MEMBERSHIPS, MISC, SHOP etc so (a) we know what they want and (b) who to forward the enquiry to.

Now I know VB standard code allows for contact subjects, BUT what it will not do is give you the option to auto forward those emails to the right person in the first place.

Something like this:

Memberships >> Goes straignt to memberships@mydomain.net
Website problems >> Goes straight to webmaster@mydomian.net
Shop issues >> Goes straight to shop@mydomian.net

Etc etc

There used to be a similar hack for phpnuke (or it was built in, I can't remember).


Anyone know of a stable hack or how to acheive this ?


Many thanks in advance :)

standard vB can do this;)

thats from the help:

If you are using the built-in contact form at sendmessage.php you can specify subjects for users to pick from. An "other" option will be added to any options you specify here.

Each subject must be placed one per line, meaning that you need to enter a carriage return between subject (press <Enter>). If you wish to direct the email from a subject to a particular user, you can either specify the user's userid on the forum or their email address. You do this by placing the item in brackets at the start of the subject.

Example:

{1} Site Feedback
{example@example.com} Help
Registration

Feedback sent to the first option "Site Feedback" would be directed to the email address of Userid #1. Feedback sent to the second option "Help" would be directed to the email address "example@example.com". Feedback sent to the third option "Registration" would be directed to the Webmaster's email address.

Thank You


I really should use those question marks a little more :o

Anyway to define where the "other" field that automatically gets put in goes like the others?
