Contact form plugin for Django CMS <http://www.django-cms.org/>
_ with spam protection and i18n.
The message entered by the web user is turned into an email which is sent to the email address configured for the specific plugin instance.
Spam protection is provided by either ReCAPTCHA <http://www.google.com/recaptcha>
(free) or
Akismet <http://akismet.com/>
(free for personal use).
Visit the respective website to obtain the keys required to activate the protection method of your
choice.
If you decide to use the ReCAPTCHA spam protection method you need to install the python library django-nocaptcha-recaptcha
If you use Akismet for spam protection akismet
is needed. You also need to set your domain url in django admin in the section "sites".
All libraries can be installed using pip
.
It is recommended but not required to use South. Again it can be easily installed using pip
.
From PyPI '''''''''
You can simply type into a terminal pip install cmsplugin-contact
.
Manually ''''''''
You can download a zip archive of the latest development version <https://github.com/maccesch/cmsplugin-contact/archive/master.zip>
_ from GitHub.
Unzip the file you downloaded. Then go in your terminal and cd
into the unpacked folder. Then type python setup.py install
in your terminal.
Put 'cmsplugin_contact'
in your INSTALLED_APPS
section in settings.py. Don't forget to syncdb your database or migrate if you're using South.
Put 'cmsplugin_contact.middleware.ForceResponseMiddleware'
in your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES
section in settings.py.
The email address that is used to send the message is picked up from DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL
Django setting <https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#default-from-email>
_.
Additionally, the Reply-To:
header is set to the user-supplied email address.
Sending the message using the user-supplied address to set From:
header of the email is
currently not supported.
This is because many servers will reject emails that use From:
addresses not registered with
that server.
Some servers may also strip the Reply-To:
header. For this, the user-supplied email address
is also added to the body of the message.
.. Note: .. The info about Reply-To: header is unrelated to the DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL setting. .. At some point it should be moved in a more suitable place in the documentation.
If you don't want to enter the ReCATPCHA keys in the admin interface you can provide them through these settings.
The same as for ReCAPTCHA goes fo Akismet.
Default::
(
('cmsplugin_contact.forms.ContactForm', _('default')),
)
You can use your custom ContactForm, just add a new tuple with the class path and name pretty name to show for your user.
If you want to steal using the default ContactForm, do like this in your settings::
(
('cmsplugin_contact.forms.ContactForm', _('default')),
('my_app.forms.MyContactForm', _('My form')),
)
In your custom form, you can set what template you want to use, like this::
class MyContactForm(Form):
...
template = 'path/to/my_contact_template.html'
The default editor is WYMEditor like in Django CMS.
The plugin respects the USE_TINYMCE
setting of Django CMS. Please see Django CMS docs for more information on how to use TinyMCE.
If you have the package 'djangocms_text_ckeditor'
in your INSTALLES_APPS
CKEditor is used.
See examples/cmsplugin_custom_contact
how to subclass
cmsplugin_contact
and add custom fields into it. You can override
properties of the subclassed ContactPlugin
and use your own templates
and classes.
Email sent ''''''''''
After the contact email has been sent a signal is fired. You can use it like this::
from django.dispatch import receiver
from cmsplugin_contact.cms_plugins import email_sent
@receiver(email_sent)
def handle_signal(sender, **kwargs):
print kwargs['data']
