Contact

This example link will open the Contact Module's contact.aspx file in a new window/tab. 

Below is an example of »Contact Module« in this page: The file contactSimple.aspx is running in an iFrame on this page. 

Description
The »Contact Module« consists of four files, see left column. 

Basically the Contact Module creates a form where the visitor must provide the following information:

• name,
• email address,
• phone number,
• the message itself.
• [Optionally the visitor can check a box to receive a copy of the message to the email address provided]

This form and mandatory information are the same in the contact.aspx  and contactSimple.aspx versions. The difference is whether the form is displayed in a page window in an iFrame (contactSimple.aspx) or in a new window/tab (contact.aspx)

If you want the contact form to appear in a PopUp window it is recommended that you use contactSimple.aspx.
The result could be like this [the PopUp window is set to be 288px wide and 544px in height] or
the result could be like this [the PopUp window is set to be 750px wide and 360px in height].
The page you are viewing has a "Mobile Break Point" of 748 pixels.

Just remember that the user must allow your website to open PopUp windows. Most modern browser will block PopUp windows if you do not explicitly allow them.
Also remember that depending of the browser/OS on the visitors device, your font size, etc. the PopUp window might look a little different. For that reason you should allow the PopUp window to be re-sizeable and have scroll bars if necessary.

Usage and implementation

The Contact Module is included in all distributions of n-gen.net CMS [Foundation and Pro] for MySQL version as well as Microsoft SQL version.

n-gen.net CMS contains two variants of the »Contact Module«. The main differences between them are:

	contact	contactSimple
Page Header *
Navigation menu
Page Footer
Show »Back« link
Can embed in any page
Anonymous user can access		*

* By default the contactSimple.aspx is accessible to all visitors. But if you restrict access to a page with contactSimple.aspx running in an iFrame the iFrame will inherit the same restrictions as the parent page: You can restrict the contact form to only "Registered Users" or "Authenticated Users".

To insert a link to the »Contact Module«.

If you want to link to the »Contacts Module« as a full page simply set the link to contact.aspx as the target URL. You can decide from the Menu Dialog if the page should open in a new window/tab or the same window. If you choose to keep it in the current window remember to select the contact.aspx file as it displays the navigation menu.

If you want to insert a link to the »Contact Module« (contact.aspx) in your navigation menu you can simply select "External link" from the dropdown list and click the icon and select "Contact" from the PopUp window.
