NodeBB forms - Howto?

[Jenkler]

Today i have a PHP file and html with the custom-pages plugin to solve the a standard mailform in the forum. What is the correct html / javscript to write if i want to use Nodebbs mail function to send mails? Or do i need some sort of plugin?

With v1.0.3 the mail through google works great for nodebb internal stuff. Good ideas?

To clearify: I want to have a form were i can design and customize input fields on a custom page. So i can remove php completely!

NodeBB is written in Node.js, not in PHP. How do you execute the PHP code?

NodeBB runs on nodejs, but you can run php as well depending on your server setup (nginx/apache).

Regardless, I don't think there is any api for sending emails through the forum, you would have to write a plugin.

1. Yes, my server handels both nodejs and php as @yariplus said
2. Is the plugin option the only option. No hacks? It would be nice if i could use nobeBB core todo this.!
3. This cant be a feature that is unique to med. Mailforms is pretty standard on webpages and has been for many years. Any plugin that i should know about. My nodejs coding skills is not that good php-dev here

Note: The mail form I speak about is located on my frontpage at https://www.jenkler.se. (Page bottom!)
