We hope JR has a pre-made "Contact" or "Contact Us" module?
Quick drop in module, that would let user fill out simple form, and send email to any email we set?

Please Advise...

RE: simple-custom-forms

Checked those docs, but nothing tells how to gather the data, and send an email?
Any code samples on how to send form data via to an email ( other than Master Admin)?

The Simple Custom Form module will allow visitors to your site to send a message TO YOU.

The "Support Tickets" module allows you to send an email:

Docs: "Support Tickets"
https://www.jamroom.net/the-jamroom-network/documentation/modules/2046/support-tickets

All the data is store in a datastore, so if you want to send something programmatically, you can do that too.

If you're looking for a module that allows non-admin users to send emails from your server, that module doesn't exist and would need to be made if you wanted to, but it seems like it would be a spam tool.

We already have a ticket system for many years, so we cannot migrate to using JR Support Tickets module.

We are looking for a simple "Contact Us" module, where we - Site Admin Only - can set the "TO" address, where the email will be sent.
Did not really want to write any code if possible.
--
"simple-custom-forms" is close, but seems inflexible because it "assumes" the master admin address is where we want to be contacted. Unfortunately, that is not always the case.

If Site-Admin only could set the Email "TO" address - it would not be a spam tool - and "simple-custom-forms" might work

The concept from where im understanding it is a "contact us" module allows visitors to the site to contact the owners of the site, but you're expecting that you can use a "contact us" module to send out emails?

Sending out emails systems are the "Support Tickets" module, the "Newsletter" module.

not understanding what you're after sorry.

What you can do is:

- create a new user account with the email address you want to send the email to
- set that user account as a MASTER account, but set the password to something that only you know
- set the form to send to MASTER only and just ignore the email you get

Let me know if that helps.

Hi Soft,
This suggestion might not be what you have in mind at all, if not just ignore it:
I simply have a link in my site Footer (which appears at the bottom of every page) which allows any member (logged in or not) to click on it and have an email form pop up that's got the "To" field filled out to any email address I've chosen.
here is the code I put in the bottom text area of my custom skin's Footer template:
<br><a href="mailto:contact@fotmd.com?subject=SiteQuestion">CONTACT site owner</a><br>
and on my site the resulting simple text link in the footer looks like the attached image. Of course YOU can customize with bigger font, colored font, or even insert a hotlinked image instead of text. My point is that you can set any email in that contact 'form' that you like. Also it's automatically on every page and can be easily seen by members if you choose to make it more noticeable, or even put it in your header as a hotlink too. But possibly I'm not understanding that you need something more elaborate than just having the members easily able to email you.

@Strumelia - Thanks - and thanks to all other folks who replied...

@Brian - We will test out your last suggestion - adding a second Master account - with the correct email may do the trick :)
