NodeBB contact page
This plugin adds a page to your forum with a contact form. This allows your user to contact you without giving directly your contact email address. To reduce spam, the form also support google recaptcha v2 (optional).
Installation
npm install nodebb-plugin-contact-pageLinks
Configuration
In the admin CP, you should define the email address where the mail should be send.
Optionally, you can add a footer (appended at the end of the message send by the user) and you can set the public and private key for Google recaptcha.Using the widget system of NodeBB, you can add a link to the page in the forum footer (or anywhere you want) with this html code:
<a href="/contact">Contact us</a>Screenshots
Contact form:
And the result mail, preview in Thunderbird:
The mail is generated using a template, which can be modified in the AdminCP.

Really good plugin, +1 from my side.
However can't see possibilities to edit the template, in the Admin panel I can see only main settings and Google re-captcha settings, using Node 1.7.5.
Also, is it possible to embed this contact form into posts?

Just one quick link: https://intergen.org/blog/hcaptcha-versus-recaptcha
Project Honeypot is even better than captchas. Its operation is invisible and behind the scenes. .... There is also no data collection or third party profit motive. It is a community of web developers helping each other identify and block bad actors online.
Emphasis added.
Rock on!

@sampo2910 is there nothing in the developer console of the browser? Like an error message or anything
-
@sampo2910 long shot, but are any errors shown in the SMTP sending server's logs ? In some cases, this is enough to prevent the form from being submitted.
-
I am getting this now with the normal mail? This was a test.
I am using mail.com as an email and Custom settings in ACP. It was working before and now not?
..I dont want my personal emails being used.
Maybe someone can recommend the best way to do this? Which email provider is best and fully working?

@sampo2910 That timeout typically means the service you are attempting to connect to has not responded (it's known as a semaphore timeout) within a set period of time (with TCP, it's typically 30 seconds). I'd check the mail service you are connecting to, so if it's mail.com then you could try a direct connect from the server itself using telnet, so
telnet server.mail.com 25- obviously, you need the correct host name and port, but this is an example. If it connects, you'll get an SMTP greeting banner. If it doesn't connect, then this is likely the issue, and will need to be resolved before this plugin will work correctly. -
@phenomlab except port 25 is server to server, the plug-in will be connecting as a client over tls or starttls on port 465 or 587. So try one of those.

Yes, hence this
obviously, you need the correct host name and port,

@phenomlab my mistake, I'm still on my first coffee

Instead of using a Custom service like mail, can I not use an iCloud alias for example?
That would be easier. Choose iCloud in the service and login with the alias? (not sure if need apple app specific password with that)
If these are in the ACP they should work right
-
@sampo2910 Yes, that should work also. You'll probably still need to select "Custom" in the drop down, but I see no reasons why that won't work. I use my own server's SMTP for notifications, and do it in exactly the same way, so I know it works.
