Hi, I would like to have a link people can click and get up an email form addressed to me, butI don't find any instructions or add ons for that, can you help me?

Erm, well if you want their email client to open and create an email addressed to you then insert:

mailto:your@email.com


into your HTML code. If you want a form that sends you emails without displaying your personal email, then you can probably find a form generator online that uses the PHP Mail function.

Thanks Matrix, that did the trick.

Not sure that's the best answer :)

If you want a link you can include the HTML in a content block, or add an HTML block with something like:

<a href="mailto:me@mysite.com">Send an Email</a>


For a form, use the built-in Form block, and under the Options tab, check

Notify me by email when people submit this form: [x]

and fill out

Recipient Email: [me@mysite.com]

Thanks jasteele, but matrix's answer was exactly what I was looking for and now its functioning as I wish.

I'm glad you got it working.

I just wanted to put the actual HTML link code in that would be used from a block (or a template), and point out that an external form generator is not required to send an email.

Chances are others in the future will search the forums for "email".
