Follow this tutorial: www.ssbits.com/creating-a-simple-contact-form/

Instead of creating a ContactPage.php add the code to your Page.php and your footer template.

This is just the sort of thing that I would like on my personal site but I'm having issues -- when I add form code to Page.php I can't rebuild DB. Don't think there's anything deprecated as it looks like fairly standard php expressions -- but then again I'm really a graphic designer, not a programmer per se.

Can somebody please advise:

1. What is the difference between 'private static' and simply 'static'

2. Has the expression 'static' become deprecated in SS3?

3. Do I need to 'thread' (concantenate) form code into code already on Page.php (below)

TIA

<?php
class Page extends SiteTree {

	private static $db = array('SidebarHTML' => 'HTMLText'
	);

	private static $has_one = array(
	);
function getCMSFields() {
		$fields = parent::getCMSFields();
		$fields -> addFieldToTab("Root.Sidebar",new HTMLEditorField("SidebarHTML"));
		return $fields;
	}
	
	
	
}
class Page_Controller extends ContentController {

	/**
	 * An array of actions that can be accessed via a request. Each array element should be an action name, and the
	 * permissions or conditions required to allow the user to access it.
	 *
	 * <code>
	 * array (
	 *     'action', // anyone can access this action
	 *     'action' => true, // same as above
	 *     'action' => 'ADMIN', // you must have ADMIN permissions to access this action
	 *     'action' => '->checkAction' // you can only access this action if $this->checkAction() returns true
	 * );
	 * </code>
	 *
	 * @var array
	 */
	private static $allowed_actions = array (
	);

	public function init() {
		parent::init();
		// You can include any CSS or JS required by your project here.
		// See: http://doc.silverstripe.org/framework/en/reference/requirements
		
		// Note: you should use SS template require tags inside your templates 
		// instead of putting Requirements calls here.  However these are 
		// included so that our older themes still work
		
		Requirements::javascript(THIRDPARTY_DIR.'/jquery/jquery.min.js'); //include jquery 1.7.2 bundled with ss
		//Requirements::javascript('http://code.jquery.com/jquery-1.7.2.min.js');
		Requirements::javascript('themes/'. SSViewer::current_theme() .'/javascript/navscript.js'); //link to js file in current theme folder
			
		//Requirements::themedCSS('reset');
		//Requirements::themedCSS('960-12-col');
		//Requirements::themedCSS('Layout'); 
		//Requirements::themedCSS('Typography'); 
		//Requirements::themedCSS('form'); 
	}

Hi thomas.paulson, would you believe it's taken me almost a year to get back to this? Obviously because it's for my own website!!

Your module works a treat -- almost too easy to install! Just one question though -- I'm wanting to add some sort of captcha (as I'm putting this on every page I could be drowning in spam if I don't). I've looked at SpamProtection Module https://github.com/silverstripe/silverstripe-spamprotection which integrates with Mollum, Recaptcha and other implementations. Only problem is I can't see how to enable this.

Instructions are that I call SpamProtection as follows:

// your existing form code
	$form = new Form( .. );
	$form->enableSpamProtection();

Have tried at bottom of form code itself and also in the footer.ss include. Wherever I put it I see ->enableSpamProtection(); on my page.

Any tips?
