<p>Easy Contact is a simple contact form that utilizes the <a href="http://www.plaintxt.org/themes/sandbox/" title="Sandbox theme for WordPress" rel="nofollow ugc">Sandbox</a> design patterns to create a highly semantic, XHTML-based contact form you can insert using <code>[easy-contact]</code> on any page or post.</p>
<p>Easy Contact features spam-reduction measures, GUI-based customization, carbon copying option, and more. Emails include tracked referrer information, including keywords for search-based landings, user agent, and IP.</p>
<p>Easy Contact is for WordPress 2.6.x and features:</p>
<ul>
<li>Out-of-the-box function using shortcode without editing any files</li>
<li>Options menu for complete customization of form content</li>
<li>Spam reduction measures, i.e., math- and/or challenge-based question</li>
<li>Secure plugin operation and highly semantic XHTML</li>
<li>Use of the Sandbox comment form design patterns</li>
<li>An included starter CSS file with corresponding images</li>
<li>Tracked information, e.g., user agent, user referrers, IP</li>
</ul>
<p>Based partially on the classic <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wp-contact-form/" title="WP Contact Form for WordPress" rel="ugc">WP Contact Form</a>, Easy Contact includes newer WordPress features (e.g., shortcode) and greatly improved form security. Easy Contact is just another contact form, except built with clean XHTML and improved security.</p>
<h3>Use</h3>
<p>After activating this plugin, simply use the shortcode <code>[easy-contact]</code> wherever you want the Easy Contact form. This shortcode takes no attributes.</p>
<pre><code>[easy-contact]
</code></pre>
<p>You will also want to customize the Easy Contact plugin from the <em>Settings > Contact</em> options menu. Here you can set the email address to receive submissions, text for legends, labels, and prompts, turn on spam reduction measure(s), etc.</p>
<p>Included with Easy Contact is a example style sheet file with images. Easy Contact features dynamic classes, so when an input field is returned to the user for an error-related issue, the input is given the class <code>error</code>, etc.</p>
<p>If you are using the Sandbox or a Sandbox-based theme template, you probably won’t need much (if any) CSS customization, as Easy Contact shares the same design patterns as the Sandbox comment form.</p>
<p>And so on. A very simple plugin.</p>
