Hi Everybody,

Commencing with the next maintenance releases of Elements and Shadows, and included in all future ReadyThemes, I am happy to announce the official Contact Extension. The code, installation instructions, and demonstration links can all be found in the new Extension repository on GitHub: https://elements.mivareadythemes.com/contact-us.html . Let me know if you have any questions.

Matt,

Same error here as well sir: "We're sorry, there was a problem processing your request."

This is a development site and none secure so not using URI. Is that the issue???

Thanks in advance.

Hi Matt,

downloaded and added the new contact-us extension. Followed all steps but get "We're sorry, there was a problem processing your request." when submitting the form. I can private message you the domain if you want/could take a look at it.

There's also Easy Contact, which, since its already responsive, just needs to be installed :)

Ahhh, yes. It was an option. Keep in mind, Shadows/Elements is a whole other ball of responsiveness. All of the coding would need to be tweaked

Leslie,

I have successfully added and tested the contact us form to the dev site. Sorry for the delay in getting to this.

I opted to use Bill's Contact Manager https://www.electrodyne.cc/SPTS.html but I would love to learn more on how you achieved this feat

I was thinking you were trying to implement the CTUS form but I'm not seeing it on your dev site.

Hi Leslie,

I do not have experience with the Contact Manager module, however I believe it should work with any of the ReadyThemes. The only tricky part might be matching the design styles associated with Shadows. As long as there is sufficient editable HTML code for the module's output, you should be able to customize it as needed.

And yes any feature built at that level has to be complete out of the box without requiring a php script or anything else to function.

In the meantime - need to find something that will work with Shadows right now. I'm wondering if Bill's Contact Manager will work until something is perfected for Shadows?

[Rick Wilson]

So there will be a Contact Us form in the polished version of Shadows?

That's not the right way to think about it.

Eventually something that looks like Shadows will be built into the core to take over for CSSUI. It'll probably be RTUI (Ready Theme UI) or something like that.

can't have any unfinished edges.

This is pretty much how I have been trying to explain what my understanding of what Elements is, that at some point in time it will become the new UI. At least that is what I've gathered from Matt's sessions on it.

That was the original plan. As we've worked with Burch and dev on it, we've decided a modified version of Shadows is a better choice as to be part of the core software, since it can't have any unfinished edges.

[lesliekirk]

Now with that said, building this functionality in is our plan (to the actual software) and we'll be replacing stock CSSUI with either Shadows or something similar in the core software

Perhaps, I too, misunderstood that Shadows would have more features available (coded into it) since it was a build starting with Elements as the foundation.
