Public Mail (visitors can email registered users)

CB "Public Mail" plugin enables visitors and unregistered users on your site to email the registered users directly from their CB profile page through a small contact form that can be styled and customized.

The plugin is great if your CB profiles are companies, teachers, artists, musicians, shops, vendors, suppliers etc. or you simply want to let site visitors contact sites users/profiles without being registered.

The registered users' email address may be kept secret if wanted, and it is possible to save all emails sent by users in the database, thereby also registering the sending IP. Also, a copy of a sent email can be sent to the submitter along with a "thank you" email, if wanted. This CB plugin has support for CB Captcha and can be configured/styled a lot!

Solid Plugin by trechriron, May 20, 2008

AS the previous reviewer mentioned, additional captcha or security to verify submitters would be helpful.

The English file has a spelling error after you send a mail message. It's all over the code as well.

SENDT versus SENT. Sent. I have a corrected "english.php" file that goes in the language folder of the plug-in. I will see if I can't get it to the developers.

Outside that, this works as expected. Thanks!

Owner's reply:
The spelling error has been fixed in version 1.2 and it now supports Captcha and has spam-security.

Great idea but... by jdude, May 5, 2007

Thanks for such a great idea. However, this plugin definitely has the potential to attract spammers, scammers and spam-robots to websites.

Maybe if you can implement Captcha to at least stop robots or put some sort of administrative approval for the messages (e.g. holding them in a quo for inspection since the messages are being submitted by annonymous users) this plugin can become an excellent tool for community websites, especially the sites which have a lot of let's say artists, musicians or other popular people as members.

Also, it will be useful to let the members to activate and de-activate the plugin from the front-end for the ones who don't want to be contacted.

Keep up the good work.

JD
