I'd like to create custom contact forms for different types of viewers (Customers verses Vendors). However my understanding is that the Site-Wide Contact Form only allows one contact form type (I do realize with different categories but I don't want Customers to see the Vendors Categories, that would just cause confusion)
Here is what I have tried:
----Using Create Page:---- When I view Create Content I see: PAGE: If you want to add a static page, like a contact page or an about page, use a page.
But it is not evident how to use PAGE to create a "contact page"
Pages are mostly just for static content. You could create a "page" to say "call us at..." but they aren't typically used to create dynamic form kinds of things.
----Searched web and Drupal Projects---- A bit of searching suggested that webform might be the solution, but looking at the information on webform it says: "webform is not a front end for let users create custom nodes". What does this mean?
Any comments or suggestions
My suggestion is to use the feedback module. It is an alternative to the core "contact" module that has several features that are slightly different which may make it work for your situation.
Another, more complex but still reasonable, solution would be to use CCK to create a custom content type for your contact forms. Then use one of the modules that can email you all new nodes (like the actions module or the subscriptions module).
Hope that helps, Greg
