Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications By Matt November 11, 2024
Genestoy Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 Are we finally going to get a "Contact Us" tab in 3.2? Many have asked for this for a LONG time now :whistle: and before anyone says a "mod" can do the same thing many times an author does make a mod then when IPB versions change the author no longer supports it so you are stuck again. Come on IPS it is 2011 integrate a "Contact Us" form and make it settable in the ACP as "Active" or "In-Active" so those that want it can use it and those that don't can turn it off. :thumbsup:
Lewis P Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 It's a good idea and all... but IP.Content can do this. Why would it need to be integrated into the core? If you want to contact the staff, just PM an administrator.
chilihead Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 I do this in IP.Content, and would still like to see it added. :)
Pfeiffer Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 It's a good idea and all... but IP.Content can do this. Why would it need to be integrated into the core? If you want to contact the staff, just PM an administrator. And why wouldn't it, if it is something you can turn on/off? Not all of have or us want to use IP.Content, so it has my vote too.
Robulosity2 Posted March 21, 2011 Posted March 21, 2011 And why wouldn't it, if it is something you can turn on/off? Not all of have or us want to use IP.Content, so it has my vote too. because not everything needs to be part of a core product..
Genestoy Posted March 21, 2011 Author Posted March 21, 2011 Why would it need to be integrated into the core? If you want to contact the staff, just PM an administrator. You can't do that if you are not a member or you are trying to register and something went wrong and you need to ask for help. My current 3.1.4 contact form gets used a lot :thumbsup: Matt said long ago (even prior to the above referenced link) he would consider adding this and the time has come. I use a custom one made for me and would like to see a similar one standard.

If you want to contact the staff, just PM an administrator. What happens if you don't have IPC or not a member? Making a person sign up just to PM some one is not a good way to keep a member base.
Lewis P Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 What happens if you don't have IPC or not a member? Making a person sign up just to PM some one is not a good way to keep a member base. They aren't your member base in that case then, are they? I'm not against the idea - I just don't see it's worth in the core product, especially when something useful like the Calendar is getting moved out into it's own separate download.
chilihead Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 Non-members contact sites all the time. To advertise, registration questions, etc. The features are frozen now anyway. We'll have to wait for the official listing to see if it's included.
Olivier Turbis Posted March 23, 2011 Posted March 23, 2011 I totally agree. Weird that it was not even added to 3.0.0.
7SiN Posted March 24, 2011 Posted March 24, 2011 Like the idea of having a contact us page, hate the idea of adding another tab...

I'm not against the idea - I just don't see it's worth in the core product, especially when something useful like the Calendar is getting moved out into it's own separate download. Remember it not just download but everything. Their using modules which make it easy(er) to update products. So it more then Calendar, and is something that should be in the core product if a guest wants to contact a staff.
Haku2 Posted April 9, 2011 Posted April 9, 2011 A contact form would be very useful, especially for guests or visitors who want to notify an admin of an issue, but don't want to register.
Tarun Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 I too would love to see a built-in Contact form. :)
TCWT Posted April 10, 2011 Posted April 10, 2011 Yep, contact form is much easier than having the user send an email.
nrep Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Another vote for a contact form - seems strange not to have on in this day and age. My old one for 3.1 will no longer work in 3.2.
• Jay • Posted August 16, 2011 Posted August 16, 2011 Like the idea of having a contact us page, hate the idea of adding another tab... I don't mind the extra tab. I'd just make it visible to guests. Members should use PM.
rgf100 Posted August 28, 2011 Posted August 28, 2011 Have they even removed the option to add a shonky mailto link in the footer? Mine's gone and I can't see the option anywhere. I know it's only a minor template edit, but was even that not core enough to be retained? Surely I'm just failing to see it . . .
