- After you have set the settings, just click ‘Update Settings’ button.
- Create a new ‘Page’ or edit the ‘Page’ where you want to place your contact form.

it also has a Quicktags “button”.
When I activate the intouch plug, it works well
BUT it conflicts with iimage-browser, whose button become a text field with image-browser.
Any solution ?
There is problem with Intouch, if the Blog encoding is set to UTF-8 and all the msgs written using UTF-8, intoch sends them their Unicode Values instead of correct text.
Please check and correct the same ASAP.
To the author of Intouch,
Regarding the apparent ‘button’ conflict with Iimage Browser (see my comment #19 above), the author of that plugin has replied to me:
“Ask the author of that (Intouch) plugin to look at: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins/Miscellaneous and implement the proper way as is shown in Edit Button Template.”
Hope you can rectify this
Regards
Great tool!
Not sure how to word this error. When I use your plugin on my current site, with the url type ./?page_id=8 it works fine and i’m very impressed. But when i change the structure to ./date/better-title/structure , my page links disappear in the menu bar. Strange, because this doesn’t happen on my other sites which already use the structure format above…
any ideas?
thanks..
In file intouch.php, I’ve replaced (line ~74 and ~149) :
‘Content-Type: text/plain; ‘ . get_option(’blog_charset’) . “\n”;
by :
‘Content-Type: text/plain; charset= ‘ . get_settings(’blog_charset’) . “\n”;
and now it’s working fine !

Can anyone from Adahas.com comment on the above posting. Is this a known bug? Has anyone noticed a problem with search engine indexing and blogulse indexing ?
I’ve checked Google for my ‘extremelee blog’ and that appears to still be indexing me since the plugin was installed!
No, I take that back.. it’s not indexing anymore! It usually re-indexes once a day through BlogPulse but not anymore and neither has my other blogs through either search engine for days now! Since installing InTouch… The code that seems to be causing the problem is something to do with ……..
UPDATE: My sites seem to be indexing with Google now. I’ve disabled Intouch within one of my blogs to see if it now updates in BlogPulse. If that’s the case, then i’m going to assume that the bug currently only effects BlogPulse.
Every form I create with intouch is unusable in Firefox 1.0.4 — it displays fine but no fields are selectable; they will no accept text.
here’s an example
http://media.caribworldradio.com/blog/?page_id=220
tonight i tried changing the div class intouch clearfix to a regular div. it fixed it; i could enter text in firefox and ie. however the alignment was obv. messed up.
then i came to your site and installed the positioniseverything css you have in your head in my header. that didn’t work. then i opened your stylesheet and found the clearfix section at the bottom. installed that portion in my theme’s stylesheet. nada.
so i’m stumped … what do i need to do to have an aligned form that works?
love the plugin otherwise:>) hope to be able to use it. thx
mmm… something wrong w/ my installation. i’ve checked other installations and they seem to work fine in firefox. not sure what is causing this; i’m using a modified kubrick.
Have just started using this for my new tech news site. Great tool. THANKS!
Hi,
I thought i would make a suggestion for your contact-form plugin, which already seems very flexible.
Many WP websites have more than one author (users), and all contact-form plugins out there offer the ability to send to one email only. I currently use something called Ultimate Form Mail for this reason, but i wish i could change to a plugin instead.
So my suggestion would be: to have the plugin offer the ability to send to more than one email, which the sender can choose using radio buttons (just allow for a select field in the form?); on the other hand the form could choose the recipient based on which page the sender is in.
I have hand-coded this in my site, you can see the form with 4 recipients here and for an example form with me as the recipient in my page please check here, if you check the source you will see a numeric value in the send_to field which was chosen with a PHP switch.
I am not asking for this! I realize it would be too much, theese are just suggestions to make the form more useful for us that have many writers in one site.
peace
Hi, I’ve been happily using this plugin for a while but as of today I suddenly start recieving very odd email messages from the plugin. At first they were spam messages, about 5 or 6 in less than five minutes (when I never recieved any before), but then I would receive messages with just a string of numbers (no fields list!). Then I get a bounce from an email address that was mentioned in the headers of one of the weird email messages headers. I disabled the plugin and it suddenly stopped. Somebody may have found a way to use your plugin to send email!?
I can forward the emails I recieved if that would be helpful!
mmm… strangely enough my problem (form doesn’t select w/ firefox) remains even when i change themes. i’m boggled; i thought it had to be my mucked-up custom kubrick css or something.
getting ready to abandon this plugin… sadly though– makes it so easy to create forms!
btw forgetting this bug for a moment, it would be really really cool if this plugin was expanded to allow creation, maintenance of *multiple* forms:>)
Is it possible to remove the Website field?
fyi i gave up but thx anyway for what seems like a widely used plugin… now i’m using phpformgenerator (http://phpformgen.sourceforge.net/). i’ve discovered that by tweaking the html of the forms it generates, and pasting it into a post or page, it’s a very flexible solution — more appropriate for me anyway, since i might use more than one form at once, and have need for other types of fields (radio, dropdown, etc.).
Very good job! A simple plug-in, easy to install, works a treat out-of-the-box (even with Heilemann’s K2).
A nice supplementary option could be the inclusion of a drop down list in the form fields; this would allow, e.g., to have a list of names/e-mail addresses for multi-user sites, and the visitor could choose to whom the message should be sent. A practical example of this is given by the venerable Simple Contact Form (http://jimsun.linxnet.com/SCForm.html).
Just a thought…
Use PHPMailer for SMTP authentication requirement. Suspect that is why form returns “Error occured while sending the message”. Any advice?

Great job on this plugin. It’s the most customizable contact form I’ve seen for WordPress.
I’m wondering if there’s a way to hard code it in a template? For example, my about page which houses my contact form has two content areas. I would prefer to have the form in the right column (I currently have WP-Contact in an iframe) which is outside of the WordPress loop so I can’t use the quicktag. I’m hoping that it might be possible to pull the PHP that produces the form out and drop it right into my template.
Any help is appreciated.

Hi,
you did really a good job on this plugin.

nevertheless a great plugin. thanks!

i just got hit with spam through this plugin as well. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK, folks! While the ajax is nice, it seems that there is no checking done on the mail inputs, and this script is vulnerable to classic injection techniques (i.e., after to field, add a return and a list of bcc addresses).
PXSmail plugin does more checking and seems more resistant (for now).
It was a nice demonstration of ajax though.

talking about php mail injection, is this stuff vulnerable?
My host provider told me to insert some code in the script I use to send mails from my site. Take a look at this forum: http://www.ahosting.biz/forum/index.php?showtopic=217
Is this script secure? Do I need to add that code to my wp? (and if yes, where?)

FIX - php mail injection vulnerability/exploit -
I use the intouch plugin on my site, very happy with it. I’ve just discovered that a hacker has used this mail injection technique to have my form send emails to others via BCC.
This is how I fixed it:
Edit intouch.php, in two places in the file you’ll find the comment “send the email”, after both of them replace:
$headers = ‘From: ‘ . $_POST[’field_1′] . ‘ ‘ . “\n” .
With:
$headers = ‘From: ‘ . get_option(’intouch_email’) . “\n” .
This will force the email address you set in the admin council to be the from address, removing the possibility that the data from the form entry can sneak its way into the mail headers. This may not be for everyone, as now all your forms will appear to come from the same address, and you’ll have to copy and past the from address out of the message body to reply. But, I’d rather be safe, and I don’t get a lot of contacts through the form anyway, so I can deal with it.
Thanks,
-Trauq
Sorry, forgot to htmlencode my entities!
Replace:
$headers = ‘From: ‘ . $_POST[’field_1′] . ‘ <’ . $_POST[’field_2′] . ‘>’ . “\n” .
With:
$headers = ‘From: ‘ . get_option(’intouch_email’) . “\n” .
-Trauq
Could you please redo this plugin so that it does not cause validation errors? I’m also having a problem getting the form to work in Firefox. It keeps saying that I’m not filling out all the required fields, even though I am.

I was spammed today via this plugin as well. I would love some sort of image/word verification to be built into this code. But for now, it’s disabled.
Perhaps the author of this plug-in could now consider all of the above errors, security risks, and also suggestions and then recomplile and release a new version.
I really dont need this because i have Picture Perfect forms i create in FLASH!! But if this author can successfully remake this plug-in i am more than willing to apply it to my own wordpress sites, i really do enjoy the freedoms that AJAX offers.

I think the security problem with this plugin is due to email header injection exploit as described here: http://www.nyphp.org/phundamentals/email_header_injection.php
In intouch.php, the injection is introduced to the $header variable (2 affected lines in code). Filter the values coming from field_1 and field_2 using the safe() function in the article.

So far, this looks to be what I’ve been searching for, THANK YOU!
But is there a way to have multiple forms on the same site? anyone?
I apologize if this was discussed previously, but I (unfortunately) am not able right now to read ALL the previous comments.
My question is this: Is there an easy way to reconfigure the plug-in to allow the user to select from a dropdown box who they want to send a message to, for use on sites with more than one author?
Thanks!
I really like the plugin (thank you)
but
I get the spambots too now..
Another thing I noticed with this plugin (along with the problems stated above) is that the css styling and javascript code is placed on other wordpress generated pages. It’s not a huge issue, but it should only add that code when the contact page is called.
How about this to FIX the security hole:
$headers = ‘From: ‘ . $_POST[’field_1′] . ‘ ‘ . “\n” .
With:
$headers = ‘From: ‘ . filter_email($_POST[’field_1′]) . “\n” .
Then add this function to the bottom of the php file:
//~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
/**
* Filter for Email Header Injection Exploits
*
* @param string $email address to check
*
* @return string $email the converted string.
*/
function filter_email($email){
$badStrings = array(”\r”, “\n”, “%0a”, “%0d”,”Content-Type:”,”MIME-Version:”,”Content-Transfer-Encoding:”,”bcc:”,”cc:”);
foreach($badStrings as $v2){
$email = eregi_replace($v2,”",$email);
}
}
I am using a 3 column theme on wordpress 2.01 (journalized-sand). The form operates correctly but will NOT stay in its place in IE, it is shifted to the left. Works perfect in firefox but unfortunately it is still an IE world. Any assistance is appreciated. Form location: http://www.playthere.com/index.php/submit-event/

I’ve been subjected to torrents of spam via this plugin, in the last 24 hours. I’ve just tried putting in Eric’s security fixing code, but it crashes the site with the following error:
“Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘:’ in /home/dickonedwauk/public_html/wp-content/plugins/intouch.php on line 147″
Eric, I have two questions about your fix (which may or may not be causing this new problem).
1. You say to replace the line:
$headers = ‘From: ‘ . $_POST[’field_1′] . ‘ ‘ . “\n” .
But in fact the line in my php file reads slightly different, ie:
$headers = ‘From: ‘ . $_POST[’field_1′] . ‘ ‘ . “\n” .
2. You say your function code should be placed at the bottom of the php file. Do you mean the very bottom, after the ‘?>’ tag, or before it? Should a ‘
Oh wait, I pasted the wrong $headers line above. The line in my original intouch.php file reads:
$headers = ‘From: ‘ . $_POST[’field_1′] . ‘ ‘ . “\n” .
That’s weird. I’ll try once more:
$headers = ‘From: ‘ . $_POST[’field_1′] . ‘ ‘ . “\n” .
That’s not what I posted! There should be a ‘field 2′ bit in that line.

If anyone is has the plguin crash wordpress after activating the plugin, I think it has to do with where you install intouch. Unfortunately, I think you have to install it directly into the plugin directory, as opposed to the plugin/intouch directory.
[…] These mistakes are quite common, and as a blogger, I should have seen this coming. All is not lost however, but I will have to be more alert in the future. My contact page does not show my email address now, and instead uses a very cool plugin from Wordpress called InTouch, which automatically generates a custom build contact form which forwards the message to my account. The email address then remains invisible from “spamming” eyes. Have you ever had any problems with security on the internet? […]
Isn’t it possible to create two or more diffrent contact forms with intouch?
[…] I think that numbers 2 and 3 are pretty simple, and could probably just build off of the WP-ContactForm plugin or intouch or one of its offshoots, but the first is the most ambitious even though it seems like a pretty simple task. It is really, just create a form that lists all of the ‘Pages’ contained in WP along with a listbox of all of the available Categories. But that is pretty limiting so I’ll have to learn how to add an option to the admin that will modify pages to allow for pages to live in multiple categories. This will allow content to live in the database but dynamically be referenced under a Category. […]

Like the plugin… however is there way or another plugin that a user/visitor can “browse” for a file, say an image file and upload it as an attachment to the email containing the other information contained in the intouch contact form?
Great plugin: just two things.
1) I can’t create a module with only 3 fields: is it possibile? If not, there should be an option to delete one of the 4 default fields.
2) A l10n problem: you should consider to make the string “(required)” localizable as the other strings (without changing the code).
hi…love this plugin….but it is not working for me…my send button does not work….i don’t know anything about php mail command….any help appreciated…I am also using subscribe2 plugin…is there a conflict?

Good plugin, but my page doesn’t seem to redirect after it submits…
Is there a way to do this?
Hi, i love this plugin. I have been looking for this kind of plugin for making a contact form for wordpress, and i found this site. Good work there!
[…] Anyway, to test out the system I went to my contact page and left a comment on the InTouch form I’ve been using. I got this as it would save me from putting my email address on the internet. Anyway, today I checked my inbox to find that the comment wasn’t there. It was time to go on a bug hunt: […]
Hi,
Love the plugin, very useful.
I need to change the style of the success message to make it more visible.
Is there an easy way to do this, can you point me in the right direction?
Perhaps in future versions you could add a CSS class or classes for the status messages?
well, it’s cool, thanks.
just an idea:
couldn’t you import the css from an external file? then forms could be styled without having to edit the sourcecode and doing so repeatedly with every update. thisi is kind of unintuitive and if we’re honest, rather easy to forget.
i got the strange phenomenon, that everything works besides sending, because the last requires field in the list seems to be posted empty, so the form continues me asking to fill it.
any idea anyone?
What do I do when I get the following?
When I activate InTouch, I get the errors below. I have to delete the program from my site to make the site accessible again. I also have the plugin “contact-form ][” installed. I continue to get these errors even when it’s deactivated…

Thank you.
thanx for a great plugin.
@Mike: install the files directly into the plugin-directory, instead of into plugins/intouch. it will work like a charm.
For the people getting failed opening errors, install the plugin in the MAIN plugin folder, not under plugin/intouch.
i get exactly the same problem as Mike Gallaugher. i’m using wordpress version 2.0.4 intouch must be deleted from the plugin folder before any of the tite will work again. on the werver i’m rrunning the site from i get no errors, it just goes blank. on my test server (lycos) i get the above errors.

i have fixed my problem. it turned out that i was putting the plugin into the plugins folder in its own folder. i took the files out of the folder and placed them just in the wp plugins folder and it now works…. well.. when i say it works… it appears on the site and it all loads… the next problem is that when i click to send the comment. it says please wait for about a second then it goes away again.. no confirmation or error.. and more importantly.. no e-mail to me? any ideas?
I made some changes to the code to allow it to be placed in a folder, to keep things neat.
In intouch.php I changed the line
include ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/plugins/intouch-sajax.php’;
to
include ‘intouch-sajax.php’;
and the line
add_options_page(’intouch Options’, ‘intouch’, 9, ‘intouch-options.php’);
to
add_options_page(’intouch Options’, ‘intouch’, 9, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘/intouch-options.php’);
In the file intouch-options.php I changed the line
<form name=”form1″ method=”post” action=”<?php echo(get_option(’siteurl’) . ‘/wp-admin/admin.php?page=intouch-options.php’); ?>”>
to
<form name=”form1″ method=”post” >
I hope you will be able to read my code.
This plugin works very nicely. However, I’m wondering if there is a way to set the reply-to address of the outgoing email to be the email address of the user submitting the form (provided their email address is one of the form fields).
Any ideas on that?
Jason
Mike - it looks like you uploaded the files within the folder. Just upload the files to the plugin directory, not the folder they were downloaded in.

I got the same problem, seems that in intouch.php line 62 is
include ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/plugins/intouch-sajax.php’;
when it should be
include ABSPATH . ‘wp-content/plugins/intouch/intouch-sajax.php’;
I don’t get the error anymore but instead when I clic option–>intouch I get redirected to my site main page!
good plugin, but it gave me a real scare when i first tried to install it in its own directory. since the plugin is distributed as 4 separate files, it seems logical to upload the folder into the plugins directory rather than the individual files. most other plugins that are distributed as multiple files need to uploaded in their folder. the installation instructions should emphasize that this plugin is unusual, or else it should be modified to function from its own directory rather than from the root plugins folder, to avoid this confusion.
Mike, you should put intouch files directly into plugin directory, not /plugin/intouch subdir. Well, at least, that was my case.

Thanks for this good plugin - you’ve done a very good job!!!
Hi, grats for this great work. I’d like to know if there is any way to delete the fields I created. On the option panel Ther’s only two buttons : “Add another fields” and “update settings”. No “delete field” around …. How do I do that ?
Thx for any answer.
I love this plugin, thank you for building it! There is one notable glitch, however, as I noticed it when I happened to use MSIE 7 (7.0.5730.11 to be exact) tonight, and saw the ’submit’ button show up in the main text area field of the InTouch form. Not real pretty!
I usually use Firefox most of the time, so hadn’t noticed it. But tonight, noticed that it isn’t MSIE 7.0 friendly; don’t know if this was the case with IE6 or not; something easy to fix?

I have been able to install the script and create a page. Out of the box the first (2) fields are default to be used which is fine. However when I add data into those fields and ’submit.’ It will puts a red circle around the 2nd box - is this a bug? How can I fix this?
Very useful, but the layout is very ugly. How can I alter it so that it looks tidy like the comments form you have on your page below?
Also, I seem to be receiving THREE copies of messages that are sent to me!

The position of the submit button is not correct in Internet Explorer 7. The submit button is in the message text area.
