EasyDNNnews – Contact form in posts

EasyDNNnews enables contacting authors of posts (articles) via the contact form. This is especially popular feature when EasyDNNnews is used for different catalogs and directories.
 

Here is all that's possible:

• contacting authors via the contact form – email is sent to the author’s email with which he or she had registered to a DNN site
• optionally it is possible to add a custom email address in an article to which people can send messages via the contact form
• all messages from the contact form can be additionally send to one more email address (BCC)

The contact form is a part of an author's profile (short info about the author that is displayed at the bottom of an article), so to be able to contact the author via the contact form, it is necessary to turn on the display of the author's profile.

 

 

To display an author’s profile in articles (1), it is necessary in Settings > Authors profile turn on the option Show authors profile.

If you want to send BCC to some address (2), check the option BCC emails for authors and enter in the field an email to which you want to send messages from the contact form.

If you want to enable setting of the custom contact email in articles, turn on the option Enable contact email by article.

 

When the option Enable contact email by article in Add-edit form is turned on, then it is possible to enter an email to which messages from the contact form will be sent. The contact email field (1) is inside the Advanced settings/Article owner section. If the email address isn't entered, the messages from the contact form will be sent to the author's email.
