=== Zero Conf Mail=== Contributors: nkuttler Author URI: http://www.nkuttler.de/ Plugin URI: http://www.nkuttler.de/wordpress/zero-conf-mail/ Donate link: http://www.amazon.de/gp/registry/24F64AHKD51LY Tags: admin, plugin, mail, mail form, contact, contact form, zero configuration, simple, easy Requires at least: 2.7 Tested up to: 2.9 Stable tag: 0.4.2 Simple mail contact form, the way I like it. No ajax, no bloat. No configuration necessary, but possible. == Description ==
It took me quite some time to check a few existing contact forms and I didn't like any of them. No, I don't want you to load jquery on every page of my blog. I want it localized, pretty please. Oh, and I want this JavaScript onfocus/onblur effect I wrote about. And why do I have to do any configuration at all anyway?
Install, add [zcmail] on some page or post, done.
Better tag cloud:
I was pretty unhappy with the default WordPress tag cloud widget. This one is more powerful and offers a list HTML markup that is consistent with most other widgets.
Theme switch:
I like to tweak my main theme that I use on a variety of blogs. If you have ever done this you know how annoying it can be to break things for visitors of your blog. This plugin allows you to use a different theme than the one used for your visitors when you are logged in.
Zero Conf Mail:
Simple mail contact form, the way I like it. No ajax, no bloat. No configuration necessary, but possible.
Move WordPress comments:
This plugin adds a small form to every comment on your blog. The form is only added for admins and allows you to move comments to a different post/page and to fix comment threading.
Delete Pending Comments:
This is a plugin that lets you delete all pending comments at once. Useful for spam victims.
Snow and more:
This one lets you see snowflakes, leaves, raindrops, balloons or custom images fall down or float upwards on your blog.
Fireworks:
The name says it all, see fireworks on your blog!
Rhyming widget:
I wrote a little online rhyming dictionary. This is a widget to search it directly from one of your sidebars.
Q: What about spam?
A: Webspammers don't gain anything by spamming you through the contact form, as their links don't appear on your site. A spammer is wasting his resources by sending spammy backlinks through the form and should stop soon. Normal spam should be handled by your email provider.
Q: Why don't you use captcha?
A: I don't think they are necessary, see the question above. I use the form to gain new clients, and I don't want to put any obstacles between them and me. If anybody wants to write a captcha patch please go ahead, but I won't enable it by default.
Q: But anybody could send me a gazillion mails without captcha!?
A: That's true. That's why the plugin comes with a flood protection. Sender IPs are logged and an attacker would need a considerable amount of resources to bypass that protection. If somebody bothers doing that, you probably have more serious problems than a contact form without captcha. And you can make the flood protection rules more severe if you want to.
Q: Who receives the mails?
A: The admin who activates the plugin is a registered user of your blog and has an email address associated with his account. That's where the plugin sends the mails to. This can be changed on the plugin options page.
