Hello,

WordPress has a wonderful moudle called cforms.

cforms is a plugin offering convenient deployment of multiple contact forms throughout your blog or even on the same page. The form submission utilizes AJAX, falls back, however, to a standard method in case AJAX/Javascript is not supported or disabled.

I was wondering if EE had something like that…
even third party would do the trick.

thanks

Hi, John.  You can use the built-in Contact Form, or if you need something more flexible with database storage of the forms, as well as email, then you can use FreeForm from solspace.com.  So a few options. =)

Thanks Lisa.
Does the built in contactform integrate AJAX or do I have to hand code it ?

ExpressionEngine assumes very little about what you want output or how you want the front-end to behave. If you want an Ajax contact form, then you will need to do that build-out yourself, much like if you wanted it styled in a particular way. =)

That is true with FreeForm as well, as I understand it.

Nobody’s perfect right ?
Thanks Again Lisa.

I think this is the perfect solution. If we included Ajax, you would be stuck with our implementation.  With the way it is, you can choose exactly the implementation you want with the library that you want.  This is the most flexible and gives you the perfect solution for *your* site. =)

I wasn’t talking about EE but me. I’m lazy, and I’m not always after the best solution. Sometimes, the easy one is enough.
