This plug-in allows more interactivity between your visitors. Simply put, you can install this plugin on your copy of LinksSQL, and within 5 minutes, be receiving contact emails from your visitors directly from your site (without them even knowing your email). New features include IP blocking (wilcards can also be used), the option to change email format (text or html), IP tracking, variable loops, and more! This new version also boasts a "random string" image, which the user has to enter correctly, before the email is sent. This also helps stop a lot of spamming, which has unfortunately been the case for quite a few people over the years (not with this plugin, but generally with "contact forms"). Version 2.5 also lets you use contact.cgi?LinkOwner=xxxx , which would send the email to the "Email" address found in the glinks_Users table, for that user.


Please Note: If using this plugin on more than one site, you need one license per site!

Other Details


Plugin Description

The basic features of this Plugin are simple. It allows you to support an unlimited number of checkbox/select/input type boxes (not 'file' fields yet), and get them sent to your email address. From the users point of view, they are just sending their details/comments via the online form, which is nice and simple from their end. From the admin side; they are getting a formatted email, with the fieldname and value, as well as the form submissions date. This is basically a cleaner version than using a FormMail.pl script.
