Plain contactform example for Kirby 2

controllers--contact.php

<?php

return function($site, $pages, $page) {

  $alert = null;

  if(get('submit')) {

    $data = array(
      'name'  => get('name'),
      'email' => get('email'),
      'text'  => get('text')
    );

    $rules = array(
      'name'  => array('required'),
      'email' => array('required', 'email'),
      'text'  => array('required', 'min' => 3, 'max' => 3000),
    );

    $messages = array(
      'name'  => 'Please enter a valid name',
      'email' => 'Please enter a valid email address',
      'text'  => 'Please enter a text between 3 and 3000 characters'
    );

    // some of the data is invalid
    if($invalid = invalid($data, $rules, $messages)) {
      $alert = $invalid;

    // the data is fine, let's send the email
    } else {

      // create the body from a simple snippet
      $body  = snippet('contactmail', $data, true);

      // build the email
      $email = email(array(
        'to'      => '[email protected]',
        'from'    => '[email protected]',
        'subject' => 'New contact request',
        'replyTo' => $data['email'],
        'body'    => $body
      ));

      // try to send it and redirect to the
      // thank you page if it worked
      if($email->send()) {
        go('contact/thank-you');
      // add the error to the alert list if it failed
      } else {
        $alert = array($email->error());
      }

    }

  }

  return compact('alert');

};

snippets--contactmail.php

Hey,

a new contact request has been submitted!

----
Name: <?php echo $name ?>

----
Email: <?php echo $email ?>

----
Text: <?php echo $text ?>

templates--contact.php

<?php snippet('header') ?>

  <main class="main" role="main">

    <h1><?php echo $page->title()->html() ?></h1>

    <form method="post">

      <?php if($alert): ?>
      <div class="alert">
        <ul>
          <?php foreach($alert as $message): ?>
          <li><?php echo html($message) ?></li>
          <?php endforeach ?>
        </ul>
      </div>
      <?php endif ?>

      <div class="field">
        <label for="name">Name <abbr title="required">*</abbr></label>
        <input type="text" id="name" name="name">
      </div>

      <div class="field">
        <label for="email">Email <abbr title="required">*</abbr></label>
        <input type="email" id="email" name="email" required>
      </div>

      <div class="field">
        <label for="text">Text <abbr title="required">*</abbr></label>
        <textarea id="text" name="text" required></textarea>
      </div>

      <input type="submit" name="submit" value="Submit">

    </form>

  </main>

<?php snippet('footer') ?>

The specification is a bit ambiguous at this point but it is more convenient to end the input tag with />, isn't it?

is it possible to add a fileupload field and to send the file as an attachment?

I am wondering the same thing as @aerus. I would love away to add and send a file attachment from the form.

Thanks a lot. Working fine with Kirby => 2.5.6

I made a fork, added an anti bot, CSS styles (for Starterkit), blueprints and several improvements in the template and the controller.

Hey,
thanks for your work ;)
i get the message: The email could not be sent
But no errors in logfiles or something.
Any suggestions why that happens?
