Hi all - a question I hope you can help with please :)

I have created a "Contact" link that appears in the navbar at the top on every page (like this new feature btw) but I cannot figure out how to link to it from within other pages. For example, I would like to have a hyperlink in the body text on my "About" page that opens the same Contact form. Is this possible please?

Hope I have explained that well enough...

Many thanks, Pete

    That's an issue I'd also like to see explained eek7.gif

    In your contact page - this assumes you are on that page, viewing it - copy the URL from the browser top, and create a link. If you're editing text in a text box, there's a link option. If you're working with an HTML block,

    <a href="url">Contact me</a>

    Of course I may have misunderstood what you want to do.

    Right now there isn't a means to create a link that opens the default contact form. I seem to recall there was someone who somehow created a "hack" by using a Menu Block, and then modified it's appearance to look like the text that surrounded it. I thought it looked a little too complicated for me to use, so I didn't keep the link.

    Ohh, thanks. I misunderstood. I am using the Wufoo form in a separate gallery. That's the context for the method I mentioned:

    So we are still at the same point: no way to link to the contact form from within the website out of clicking on the dedicated contact item on navbar.
    That's a major lack, from my point of view :bluduh
    In conjunction with the impossibility to add java script spam safe mail links (which we could add in Legacy version), it creates a massive limitation.
    I'd really need to add specific mail links, different from the default profile one, in pages where I describe services which I better shouldn't connect to my profile email account, but if I have to bear with the risk of getting tons of spam (very likely to happen) I'm probably not doing that.
    And WooFoo form is just too complicate and bulky eek7.gif
    BTW The profile picture I added to replace the "moustache man" doesn't show up with the same aspect ratio; do you know how I can restore those proportions (roughly, 1x2,5)?????

    This was reported on August 7th and has been on the Active Bug List at http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=239918 since August 29th, but there's no word of any progress towards fixing it. No surprise there, eh?

    Until SM gets its finger out and does some corrective action, we're using the workaround at http://www.dgrin.com/showthread.php?t=238002
    Yippee ki-yay, footer-muckers!

    Just out of curiosity why not set up the Wufoo contact page, and use <a href="url">Contact me</a>?
    You could set up as many as you want (I think 3 is the free limit, so maybe an account on Wufoo if more are needed).
    The galleries could be unlisted and accessible only with the link you put in place.
