ALFContact v1.9.3


Component Language Native 1.5

ALFContact is a small 'Contact Us' form for Joomla! 1.5.

The purpose of ALFContact is to provide a contactform with enough features to make it usefull and appealing whithout making it overly complicated.
Basically the form gives you the option to send messages to different aliases based on your accesslevel, these aliases are defined in the administrator section, each with their own set of options.

E.g. create aliasses for Sales or Billing or Webmaster, add a prefix, custom optional field, default subject and/or redirect as you like and you're set.
If the user isn't logged in it will show inputboxes for adding reply info, once they're logged in, it will automatically show their data.

Captcha security is included with a choice between reCaptcha and Bigo Captcha, the latter needs an additional Bigo Captcha plugin to be installed and activated.
