Consider adding simple contact forms to core

Open willguv opened this issue 2 years ago • 3 comments

This issue was raised just now in Essex. It's worth canvassing Product Group and other councils about the need for a basic contact form out of the box

@ekes suggested https://www.drupal.org/docs/8/core/modules/contact/overview

Would require a change to editor permissions so they can access these forms

It won't obviously provide a mail server - we should consider best way to approach this, probably documentation to share with council tech colleagues

Thanks Will for adding this :-)

From past experience the Drupal provided contact forms arn't that great as they are either sitewide or per user, and it sounds like what your looking for is contact a service.

Maybe a default template webform provided via localgov_forms would be a good fit, as these could then be customised to each service needs.

Cheers Andy, I think in the Essex case the module is OK - good point about something that's customisable for others though
