"On-site" email script?

by Ashley Gable
3 replies
hey I was wondering if anyone knows how to get one of those email apps on a site.
I mean where you click on the contact me and it opens a page where you put your email, the subject and then write your question in the field.

I have used these before and would like to put one on my site, as I have heard it is not good to put an email on a live website due to spammers.

I have cpanel and looked in the fantistico and there are these available "Customer Relationship" installs

crafty syntax live help
help center live
osTicket
PHP support tickets
Support Logic Helpdesk
Support Services Manager

However I want it so they dont have to create an account or anything like that. So they just have to click "Click here to ask me a question" and they put their email and info in.

Any suggestions for the above options?

Thanks

    Hi Ashley

    If you have some programming experience this is very simple to do, basically you setup a form to capture the data and then pass it through the sendmail application that is common on most LINUX server installations.

    A couple of links that outline the process, including working code you can download:

    Let me know if you need any help with this.

    Aloha

      Thanks Bill, thats exactly what I am looking for!

      I will have a good look at them and see what looks to be the easiest.

      Thanks Ashley

    If you are using something like Joomla or Drupal it has built in features for this but if you are not, the code is not that difficult. At least I firmly believe that if I can do it, almost anybody else could too.

    Just my two cents
