034 - Implement "thank you for your email" message in contact component

Post by apkessler » Fri Nov 30, 2007 3:43 am

Hello all.

I only really have one question, which is:

From where should the user be able to edit the submission message? Within com_contact?

I don't have any other questions (yet), but I haven't yet fully browsed the source of com_contact.

The task was:
Implement "thank you for your email" message in contact component (Elin Waring)
Description

Numerous users have requested that the email message form that is part of
the contact component include a "thank you" acknowledgment that an email
message has been sent.

To carry out this task you will create a new view for com_contact that
produces a thank you message when the form is submitted. Ideally that
message will be customizable.
Claimed: Nov 29 Due: Dec 27

There is currently a thank you confirmation but it's hard coded in the controller. Probably the easiest way to make it user customizable is to add a parameter to the config.xml file. Then the field would be available in the preferences of the contact manager.

Task reopened due to a lack of response from contestant.

Thread will be locked to avoid confusion if a new thread is created by a new contestant.

apkessler - Hope everything is okay! It's a busy time of year, so, it's understandable. Take care!

Amy :)
