##Contact Plugin for Jekyll
This plugin allows you to add a contact form to any page in your Octopress or Jekyll blog. You can use either pooleapp.com or formkeep for processing form submissions.
###How to Use
You can use this plugin by adding the contact.rb file into the octopress/plugins directory.
For the JavaScript file that shows a success confirmation that the form was submitted, add the contact.js file inside the source/javascripts directory.
For the styling, add the _contact.scss file inside the sass/partials directory. Then in your sass/_partials.scss file, import the css for the contact form by adding the following on the last line:
@import "partials/contact";
Lastly, under the source/_includes/custom directory, add a script tag that points out to the contact.js file on the last line:
<script src="{{ root_url }}/javascripts/contact.js"></script>
To use the plugin in any of your pages, simply use the contact liquid tag then supply the form endpoint which you got from either pooleapp or formkeep as the first argument and the URL to redirect to when the form is submitted:
{% contact FORM_ENDPOINT http://YOURSITE.COM/PAGE?form=ok#alert-box %}
For pooleapp, the endpoint URL would look something like:
http://pooleapp.com/stash/xxxx-xxx-xx-xxxxxxx-xx
For formkeep:
https://formkeep.com/f/xxxxxxxx
###Updates
- 01.01.2016 - Turns out formkeep is no longer free so you'll have to pay before you can use their service. I am yet to try whether the code still works for formkeep if you have paid.
###Demo
You can try out the demo on my blog.
