I would like the email form to be shown on selected pages. Basically I will be creating two or three skins, and will want the form on all pages with a certain skin. How would you suggest I do it?

Trying to wrestle your form into the skin is entirely the wrong way to go about it. It is best done by simply using DNN and modules in the manner they are intended to be used.

Finish your skin, don't put any forms in it, and apply the skin to your site. Then find and install a Forms module, and configure it with whatever fields and options you desire. Then use the module management interface to copy it to however many pages you want.

Exactly which Form module you should use depends on what the form needs to do. If it's just a basic contact form then Orizonti's free NukeFeedback is good. If you need more fields of different types, then try the free helferlein Form or Interactivewebs' Feedback Designer. I can recommend the latter. If however you need something much more complex, then look on Snowcovered.com in the forms section. There are plenty of choices and each has its fans. H2O, Xmod etc.. they are all overkill for a contact form.

Hi Robax,

We are talking about a form generated by a 3rd party that has to be included on the page in order to work - custom modules are not the way to go unfortunately.  It is another <form> tag with a different action, so it cant be inside the skin, or inside a module.  It can be inside an IFrame - but that requires adding an IFrame module to each page where you want the form.  My suggestion above works, and is exactly what I've done on my own site www.bestwebsites.co.nz, but means that the form will be on every page.

JK.

You know your website is cool, so why not let your users help you by spreading the word on social networking sites - get the DotNetNuke Social Bookmarks Module with 57 different ways to add social bookmarks to your site ... or download the FREE demo right now

I don't think adding a form inside a skin is a DNN best practice. Wether you can or cannot is not really the issue here. Dan wants a third party HTML form included in one or more DNN pages. This is most easily done with the Iframe module. This works out of the box and is much more stable against changes in the form.

Adding a IFrame to a page can be done by any admin, and the amount of work is probably less than integrating it in the skin.
