The new WebCommons contact form
Posted on February 17, 2009 by Steve Magruder in WebCommons Announcements, WordPress DevelopmentAs part of the ongoing WebCommons site merger, I developed a new contact form. I realize that this kind of development naturally doesn’t create a lot of excitement, but I think a lot of the power of the WordPress platform shines through with this example.
A contact form is one of those common things that a web programmer shouldn’t want to re-invent, so I went plugin shopping at the WordPress site and found a straightforward, well-ranked, WordPress 2.7-compatible plugin called Contact Form 7. I was especially charmed that it had easy-to-setup CAPTCHA and Akismet support (great for stopping spammers!), and upon my initial testing of it, I was pleasantly surprised at how robust and straightforward the admin-side contact form management was.
