Configuration options (in Config.groovy)

• contactme.to.address: The destination email address (required)
• contactme.email.view: An alternative view to use to format the email
• contactme.form.view: An alternative view for the contact form
• contactme.thanks.view: An alternative view after the email is sent

The contact-me plugin uses the form-helper plugin to make styling easier. If you need additional information on the <form:xxx> tags, see the form-helper plugin

If you place additional fields in the contact form, those are available in the params variable to all other views

Configuration options for the Mail Plugin also apply.

Here is the default view

<%@ page contentType="text/plain"%>
You have a contact-me email
from: ${contactForm.name}
at: ${contactForm.email}
subject: ${contactForm.subject}
-----------------------------------------------------
${contactForm.message}

Tags

<cm:form>

Displays the contact me form

<cm:captchaRequest>

Used in the form to place the captcha challenge question

Hooks

afterContactMe

To do this simply define a 'afterContactMe' closure in any artefact class. Here is an example that writes a log entry after a email is sent.

class MailLog {
    Date dateCreated
    String name
    String email
    String subject
    String message
    static afterContactMe = { form, params ->
        new MailLog(name:form.name, email:form.email, subject:form.subject, message:form.message).save()
    }
}

Here is the definition of the mail form command class (can be found in ContactMeController):

class ContactForm {
    String name
    String email
    String subject
    String message
    String captcha
    static constraints = {
        name(blank: false)
        email(blank: false, email: true)
        subject(blank: false)
        message(blank: false)
    }
}
