Form to email on each post. Best solution for me?

    Hi! I’ve created a site which displays many of our products, each in their own post. What I want is a form at the bottom of each post where a user can ask for more information about the product.

    The form will just contain simple name, email and message fields.

    My requirements would be:
    a) That the post name appears as the subject line.
    b) The user’s email address appears in the reply-to field.

    I’ve done so much research but I can’t find the solution to this simple request. The three main options seem to be a) use a contact form plugin, b) change the comments functionality to do this, or c) use some standard php form-to-email code to get this done.

    What do you suggest?

    I’d look at CForms plugin as it does tout some features that might help you:

    1. Multiple forms on one or many pages / posts
    2. Database based tracking of submitted data (XML, CSV, TAB)
    3. Submission limits (e.g. registrations)
    4, Inclusion of custom fields (from a post) **might need this if Cforms doesn’t allow you to put the post name automatically in a field

    Thanks, Michael. That was the contact form plugin that showed most promise.

    I’ve posted a question regarding the use of the post’s title in the subject line and I’ve been told it is possible so I’ll try that method.

    I’ll post a follow-up here if I get this to work.

    Thanks again.
