Rapid Contact is a FREE module for Joomla! 1.5, 1.6 and 1.7.
(1.7 users download 1.6 version)
It is a very simple contact form, for providing your clients a REALLY FAST contact support!
You have three fields: Email, Subject and Message. User submits data, you get a mail in no time.
VERY FAST AND EASY TO SET UP!
Two simple steps.
1) Install,
2) change mail recipient and it works!
Additional Options:
* Anti-spam question-answer!
* Thank you page Redirect
* Custom Text

Great extension, worked right away and was easy to configure.
The only thing I wish is that it had, along with the existing "subject", "email" and "message" field, a field for "name" so that you know the name of the persons that is contacting you.
Otherwise, great job!

I had been testing a dozen of other modules, but nothing really worked. I also needed something simple and easy incl. Anti-Spam function.
So this module is perfect. And it is the one and only which I was able to set on a specific module position w/o any problems and further customization.
Thanks a lot. For a future version , if you have time, you may consider to add a checkbox with a text "Send a copy of this mail to myself".

Have been looking for an easy extension that worked the first time. This one did. A big thank you
but if you enter the wrong anti-spam answer and press send, you lose everything you have entered in the other fields. Not good if you have just written 5 sentences in the message area.

Hello.
You're either using some other version - not downloaded from mavrosxristoforos.com, or you have some other issue.
You can try it at my site to see that it does keep the field values.
Too bad you didn't ask me first.
Thanks for the review anyway.
This is really easy to use and once it is installed, it is up and running in minutes. It can be set up as a "normal" contact form within an article using the {loadmodule modulepositionname) option and it works without any mail settings issues. Just fantastically simple! Thanks for creating it!
It works perfectly even using browsers without Javascript support.
This is an important achievement, because about 15% of my visitors have no javascript support.

Very satisfied! up and running in les than 5 minutes on joomla 1.6.3
This could have been an excellent addition to my site and almost exactly what I needed... but one thing bugged me. Once the message was sent, a nice (customisable) message appears in the module and replaces the form itself. This effectively prevents the form from being used more than once in a session on that page. I want it to be able to be used multiple times so users can submit review ideas based on the page content... but right now I can't do that without having to navigate away and back again each time I want to submit a message.
Also... I think it would be VERY cool to have the option to allow the form to auto-populate the email address field for registered users based on their login credentials.
Good module though... just not quite 100% there for me - yet :-)

Hello.
Thank you for the review.
You could have contacted me to learn that there is a custom version that shows the form again, after submitting a question.
Moreover, it is quite unusual for a user -not a tester- to submit the form twice on a row.
Why would he do that, other than spamming?
The feature for the auto email is a nice idea.
Thanks for that.
If you'd like to contact me and get these two features, please do not hesitate to do so at mavrosxristoforos@gmail.com
Thanks for making this so simple. A lot of other producers of these sorts of things seem not to realise that, when a contact module is concerned, simplicity is the key.
The only thing that stops me from giving it 5 out of 5 is that I had such a difficult time styling it! I actually gave up and styles everything else around it as best I could.
Thanks again

Hello.
Thanks for the review.
Rapid Contact inherits the template's css for inputbox, button and textarea.
It also accepts custom module class suffix.
You could have contacted me about styling the form, as many others do, and you could have also visited the forum section of mavrosxristoforos.com where there are many SOLVED questions for Rapid Contact styling.
Thanks again.
Straightforward to install and set up, within 5 minutes of download I'd tested and received the email.
Tried the recaptcha version afterwards but couldn't get it to work so ditched it in favour of the official release. As this is an independent creation it would be nice if the two developers could work together and make it official for us (please).
Great extension - thanks!

I have used this module for some time now without issue. But recently when setting up a website for a client I ran into an issue and Christopher responded to my email very quickly and worked with me on the problem until the problem was resolved. I highly recommend this module due to its ease of use and outstanding support!

Great extension! Very easy to install and configure as long as you have the host's smtp configuration.
Very good support, I had an instant answer to my mail to the developer.
Thans Christopher!

Works perfectly on a church website I administer. I use it for two different distribution lists submission pages.
Would rate it 5 stars if you could require it to send using the logged in e-mail address only. Better security/tracking option, for my particular use anyway.
