How do I show the contact link when I'm logged out?

I believe contact is not available for anonymous users. See these lines in the contactlink.module file:

Am I mistaken? Do anonymous users have access to contact forms?

Anonymous users do not have access to users' contact forms. They do have access to the site-wide contact form, but that does not allow contact on a per author basis. Since this module uses Drupal's built in contact form, changing this behavior is outside the scope of the module, so I'm marking this 'won't fix.'

However if you wish to have an option for different default behavior for anonymous users (a link to the sitewide contact form? a message to log in?) please reopen this issue and clarify. Thanks

Here are 2 modules that can do something similar. They are for Drupal 5.x. though: http://drupal.org/node/196663#comment-1078230

ok, i think people may end up on this issue looking for ways to create contact forms per node that do not reveal user id. the above two links are related but "author contact" creates a form in a block (haven't tried this even), and Anonymous contact doesn't have any info on implementing their links in the form of contact_anon/nid into the page layout. i edited the contactlink.module file in this module's release and changed line 11 from
if ($user->uid && in_array($type, array('node', 'comment')) && ($type != 'node' || variable_get('contactlink_'. $object->type, 1)) && $account = user_load(array('uid' => $object->uid))) {
to
if (($type != 'node' || variable_get('contactlink_'. $object->type, 1)) && $account = user_load(array('uid' => $object->uid))) {
and line 12
if ($account->contact && ($account->uid != $user->uid)) {
to
if ($account->contact_anon && ($account->uid != $user->uid)) {
and line 15
'href' => "user/$object->uid/contact",
to
'href' => "contact_anon/$object->nid",

this seems to have integrated the two modules (anonymous contact and contact link) to be useful in the way i think others are scouring contributed modules for.

maybe there could be a patch to make this hiding for anonymous users optional and a way to change the url for the contact page in the settings?
