Now that it's installed, how do I actually implement a contact form? #3

There doesn't seem to be a generator or example for usage.

Install just like any other spree extension. In your project, you can always issue the terminal command "rake -T" to see all available rake methods.

rake spree:extensions:contact:update rake db:migrate

See this: http://spreecommerce.com/documentation/extensions.html#extensionmodelsandmigrations

Well this is actually not the problem. I was hoping to find an example how to implement the contact form in the frontend. I thought this extension is more than just a contact manager.

When I access http://localhost:3000/contacts/new (found by trial and error, there's no instruction that this is the URL to call) I just get an error: undefined method `semantic_form_for' for #ActionView::Base:0x7fe4f168a398

Make sure you have the formtastic gem installed...it is required. In order to make the form show up on the frontend, check out the routes.rb and create a navigation link appropriately. All this extension does is allow a user to submit a message via a contact form and store it in the database, notifiying the end recipient (you).

You can see all routes by running "rake routes" from a terminal prompt within your app root directory.

If you wish the extension to behave differently, please feel free to fork ;) That's why it's up here.

Sorry, but I do not have the resources to support this extension any further. It's intended to be very basic, and help out with a few simple contact form tasks. Past that, you'll need to "make it your own".

I'll amend the documentation and send a pull request. The issue with formtastic.rb was a missing "rails" folder in the gems installation, so it wasn't picked up during app start.

Ok, thanks...but also feel free to fork this and run with it if you want.
