Extension:ContactPage

The ContactPage extension implements a contact form for visitors. It creates a special page "Special:Contact", which is similar to "Special:EmailUser", but it has a fixed recipient, and may be used without registering.

• Download and move the extracted ContactPage folder to your extensions/ directory.
  Developers and code contributors should install the extension from Git instead, using:

  cdextensions/
  gitclonehttps://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/mediawiki/extensions/ContactPage
  

• Add the following code at the bottom of your LocalSettings.php file:

  wfLoadExtension( 'ContactPage' );
  $wgContactConfig['default'] = [
   'RecipientUser' => null, // Must be the name of a valid account which also has a verified e-mail-address added to it.
   'RecipientEmail' => 'Contact Form on ' . $wgSitename, // 'Contact Form on' needs to be translated
   'RecipientName' => null,
   'SenderEmail' => null, // Defaults to $wgPasswordSender, may be changed as required
   'SenderName' => null,
   'RequireDetails' => false,
   'IncludeIP' => false,
   'MustBeLoggedIn' => false,
   'MustHaveEmail' => false, // True means the user submitting the form must have an associated email address
   'NameReadonly' => false,
   'EmailReadonly' => false,
   'SubjectReadonly' => false,
   'UseCustomBlockMessage' => false,
   'Redirect' => null,
   'RLModules' => [], // Resource loader modules to add to the form display page.
   'RLStyleModules' => [], // Resource loader CSS modules to add to the form display page.
   'AdditionalFields' => [
  		'Text' => [
  			'label-message' => 'emailmessage',
  			'type' => 'textarea',
  			'required' => true
  		]
  	],
  	'FieldsMergeStrategy' => null
  ];
  

• See the README file for further options to customise and adapt as it convenes.
• Yes Done – Navigate to Special:Version on your wiki to verify that the extension is successfully installed.

$wgCaptchaTriggers['contactpage'] = true;

1. Add the following code (with the correct URL inserted) to your LocalSettings.php file:

   $wgHooks['SkinAddFooterLinks'][] = function( Skin $skin, string $key, array &$footerlinks ) {
    if ( $key === 'places' ) {
    $footerlinks['contact'] = Html::element( 'a',
    [
    'href' => 'https://www.example.org/wiki/Special:Contact', // URL to "Special:Contact"
    'rel' => 'noreferrer noopener' // not required, but recommended for security reasons
    ],
    $skin->msg( 'contactpage-label' )->text()
    );
    };
   };
   

2. Add the label for "Special:Contact" to system message MediaWiki:Contactpage-label.

See HTMLForm and related pages for more information on the possibilities available to create more complex forms.

Manual:HTMLForm Tutorial 3 provides more details of the values that can be used for type value of fields under AdditionalFields. For example, you can use 'type': 'usersmultiselect' to have a field that allows the selection of multiple usernames.

Users of some hosting providers such as SiteGround and Amazon SES may get a PHP mail error or one that says that the FROM email address is not configured in the server, despite $wgPasswordSender being configured correctly and other email functionality working as expected. A fix for this issue is described here .
