As I needed a contact form on my blog page (and for practicing how to develop a WordPress plugin) I came up with the idea to develop a simple plugin form that just displays a nice and easy contact form on my page. I had a look at what has already been done on the WordPress plugin page and found Contact Form ][ by Chip Cuccio.
From my perspective, this served as a perfect starting point for me to learn how to develop a plugin. I started with taking a look at Chip's code, what he did where and why. With this in mind, I started developing my own version, which I called JACF, which is short for "Just Another Contact Form". Nice and easy acronym, at least I hope so.
The following things were important to me:
The plugin can be put on any page by using the Quicktag [ CONTACT-FORM ] on any page you like (without the spaces). The plugin then replaces the QuickTag with the form. It displays a form with the following fields:
The following fields are required and get checked (client & server):
[ CONTACT-FORM ] at the respective location where you want to insert the form on this particular page. And you’re done!After activation of the plugin, you can find the following simple configuration options in “Options > JACF” (screenshot).
As stated above, credits go to Chip Cuccio for providing a great example by developing his Contact Form ][. Thanx Chip!
