Unique path and form for each contact category

Overview

http://drupal.org/project/contact_forms
This module expands the features of the site wide contact form. It eliminates the need for the drop down category menu by generating a form, and a unique path, for each of the contact form categories. Now with the ability to specify Additional information for each category - D6 only

The path 'contact/{category}' generates a contact form for that category with a title = 'contact {category}'.

If a path is entered that does not have a category you can specify a page to redirect to. The default fall back path is contact.

Usage

This module was written for sites that have many email contacts where you want a page with information about the people / departments etc with links to their individual contact forms.

Create a "Contact Directory" page with a path like 'directory' and lay it out how you would like it. Links to the forms can be made with the following code [using the drupal link function]

print l('Email Jill Jones', 'contact/Jill_Jones');

This page can be set as the fall back page if a contact/category path is entered that doesn't exist.

Requirements

contact.module must be enabled.

Installation

1. Copy contact_forms folder to sites/all/modules/.
2. Check contact.module is enabled
3. Enable Contact Forms module

Upgrading

If you are upgrading from an older version of Contact Lists, disable and uninstall the old version then delete the contact_list folder before you upload and enable the new version.

Snippets

1. The "old" contact/list page
This will give you a list of links to the contact forms.

<!-- start snippet -->
<p>Who would you like to contact?</p>
<?php
  $result = db_query('SELECT * FROM {contact} ORDER BY weight, category');
  print '<div id="contact-list">';
  print '<div class="item-list"><ul>';
  while ($contact = db_fetch_object($result)) {
    $cleanurl = str_replace(' ', '_' ,$contact->category);
    print '<li>'. l($contact->category , 'contact/'. $cleanurl) .'</li>';
  }
  print '</div>';
  print '</div>';
?>
<!-- end snippet -->

Tips

1. You can change the message 'You can send %category a message using the contact form below.' on the contact form settings page.
2. CSS to hide the bullets on the contact/list page

#contact-list li {list-style: none ;}
