I have been looking for a method to allow visitors to a clients portal to be able to send e-mails or bookings via a standard on site form

I get the impression that the only way to do this using core modules is via the feedback module - Useful as a template for me to write my own version but not what I'd expected to use when I first looked at DNN

Anyway I am quite happy to look at this and tailor it to my own needs but I thought I'd post a general question as this must be a fairly standard requirement for web sites

(Originally I wrote my own php to do this for the same client but we have now decided to migrate to DNN - I had assumed that this funtionality would be readily available from core)

The requirements are straight forward enough - a page needs to be set up

The page has an e-mail to sent the "form" to (possibly with CC and BCC options too) along with subject

Fields are presented on the "form" with labels and validation (e.g. a return email must validate as being properly formed, content must not be empty, numer values are numeric, dates are correct format etc etc)

User can click send button to post

I am suprise this isnt avalilable -

I would be especially intrigued to hear about localised solutions to this problem

AFAIK the feedback module serves a basic need here, but the fields are fixed at the moment. So yes, you would have to look at third party modules for that
