Scaleable Contact Form Plugin
A Plugin for ..
.. a very customizable contact form on your wordpress blog.
Features:
- Uses Captcha but no Akismet.
- Required, non required Fields can be configured.
- Five different Field Types: Textfield, Textarea, Select, Radios and Checkboxes
- This plugin uses the wp_mail method so you can easily use an external smtp by installing a plugin like “WP-Mail-SMTP“.
- You can choose either a regular send formular or AJAX driven
- Optional confirmation mail
Usage:
Either put [ scaleable-contact-form ] (WITHOUT SPACES AFTER OPENING BRACE AND BEFORE CLOSING BRACE!) somewhere in a post or site or call “scf_print_contact_form()” directly from a custom page.
Usage for AJAX Form
Either put [ scaleable-contact-form-ajax ] (again: no spaces) somewhere in a post or site or call echo scf_print_contact_form_ajax() directly from a template.
Configuration
In the WP Admin interface, you’ll find a submenu entry “S.C.Form” under “Settings”. There you can add new fields, edit labels, error messages, behavior and so on..
Usage Example:
This is how you insert the form in a page or post entry:
This is how it will look like in your published page or post entry:

during aktivation an error is coming up:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘{‘ in /var/www/virtual/www.zumscheissnreichts.at/wp-content/plugins/scaleable-contact-form/includes.php on line 455
Can you help me?

I just installed this form… on my wordpress admin pages there is now a bar below the content box that says “custom fields.” Under “name” I wrote questions I wanted users to answer. Under “value” I wrote “answer here” as a place holder. I did not see any other options for settings that needed to be established. When I “published” no form appeared on that page.
I assume there is another place I need to go to set up how my form will look, but I am very new to this and absolutely clueless about where and how I would go about doing that.
Please help!
hi,
i test it on my web and after submit it broke design. how to make so that it wont broke outlook?
Love this but like busse said after submitting it broke my theme. Also after submitting when using ajax. I get no success message. The page just is left blank???
Any help would be great.
Thanks!
OK I figured out why it brakes the theme. After the success message you put instead of . But I don’t think any of the emails are being sent???
that should have said a div tag instead of an ending /div tag.
Nevermind the emails are being sent it just took about an hour for them to show up. I believe it is my host that is the problem there. I still can’t get the ajax to work properly though.
Hi,
I just encountered exactly the same problem as Gregor (in his 4 May comment up here), with exactly same message:
“[…] /www/wp-content/plugins/scaleable-contact-form/includes.php on line 455″
Did you ever find out what it was?
Thanks a million in advance. For a great plugin, too (it installed nicely on a different site).
I like the form and its simplicity but I need two forms. One for sight admin and one for actual questions, etc. Is their a way to extend this app to build two forms with two send to e-mail addresses?
I found a small error in the includes.php file. You have a tag where there should be a on line 227. It broke my layout until I went in and fixed it.
ugh, the comments ate my post. You have an opening div tag where there should be a closing div tag on line 227, that’s what’s breaking people’s layouts.
Ok, should work now, i’ve uploaded v0.4, which should fix a couple of things, among the “div”-problem ..
Great plugin, but v0.3 from WordPress.org has some errors and v.04 from site is an empty archive.
Ok, I’ve updated the and re-uploaded the archive.. should now work. 0.4 should be in WordPress by now, too.
Hi, I tried to include [scaleable contact form] in my WordPress-Page (Atahualpa). Without checking the Captcha function the form works perfect. But when I try to activate the plugin’s captcha
1. no captcha appears on the form, and
2. after trying to fill in the form and clicking “send” the following message appears:
*Fatal error*: Call to a member function validateKey() on a non-object in */home/.sites/505/site386/web/wp-content/plugins/scaleable-contact-form/includes.php* on line *180*
(By the way, after installing “Simple Captcha”, this plugin required to activate captcha on the scaleable contact form does not appear anywhere in my WordPress-Admin-Window (for administration or activation), even if your S.C. plugin tells me that SimpleCaptcha has been installed, …
Can somebody tell me, what’s the problem here and/or what the error message means???
Try again with v0.5 (just up in SVN and here as zip), should work.. Thanks for reporting
Hi, I think in
Version 0.6
[ scaleable-contact-form ]
…

“” is missing !!
[ scaleable-contact-form-ayax ] is OK !
-k
oh, no again
Version 0.6
[ scaleable-contact-form ]
[div class="scf-form-success"]… is not closed
the
[/div] is missing !!
[ scaleable-contact-form-ayax ] is OK !
-k
Ah, damn it, not again! Ok, got it fixed .. 0.7 is up
How can i make the default fields NOT required? I don’t know why you made them locked…i don’t need the big text box…
I have the same problem like Gregor had.

How to fix it?
Flo
@Flo:
Could you provide a more details ? Line 181 is related to the captacha-generation. Maybe you dont have KCAPTCHA installed ?
@SOMA:
). Comment line 37 in includes.php (prefix with //) to get rid of the text for now.
Right now, this is not supported. I will include this in the next release, but right now no time and dont want to make hasty untestet updates (again
I had the same problem.
Fatal error: Call to a member function validateKey() on a non-object in /my_site/wp-content/plugins/scaleable-contact-form/includes.php on line 181
For everyone who has this problem in the future. Look in your plugins directory for the ‘simple-captcha’ folder. You have inside it 1 folder (simpleCAPTCHA) and 1 file (readme.txt). Move the folder ‘simpleCAPTCHA’ inside ‘plugins’ folder and then delete the empty ‘simple-captcha’ folder. Then activate ‘Simple CAPTCHA’ from your admin. Voila
You will have a working Scaleable Contact Form!
I installed the form, styled it, and set the setting to the correct email address… looks great. However when I test it, the test emails never go through. Is there something I am missing?
I’m curious…can this be added to the sidebar via the Text widget?
Thanks in advance! So far, this looks like a great plugin.
@Brian: Hard to tell
Could you provide more info ? Maybe your Hosting Provider disallows you to send from your E-Mail, try “Mail From”-Plugin from Andrew Hamilton.
@Rob: Well, you could add it in a template or sidebar.php, using the PHP-Code directly: spi_print_pommo_ajax_form()
Hi
It was working perfectly until I update it to the new version!! Now the e-mails are not sended!!
What’s wrong with the new version??
Tina
Hi,
I’ve installed 0.7, using the AJAX version in the footer include of my WP theme (see stylewired.com/portfolio) and got it working in so far as it sends me the emails.
However after clicking the submit button on the form, the AJAX animation works changing the displayed content to “Loading”. Then “Loading” dissappears using the same AJAX animation and then nothing else happens.
The success message does not appear. Any ideas? Please feel free to test live.
Thanks,
Chris
@Chris: Hmm, found a debug message which might have broken it. But it should have affected WP 2.8.x too. Try new release 0.7.1, either download from here or wait for update in WP plugins repository.
@tina: Could you provide more info? I’ve just updated to 2.9.1 and sent myself some mails without any problems..
Hey, there’s a bug when shortcode () is disabled on PHP. As it’s gonna be deprecated and not supported by PHP6, it’s better to fix it. Ty.
Is there any way that I can set the form to email more than one email address with the information completed in the contact form?
Thanks
Your comment sounds so much like something I’d say that I’m smiling bigger than usual. Welcome to the conversation.
Hello, Did anyone figure this out:
Fatal error: Call to a member function validateKey() on a non-object in /home/content/80/5826680/html/wp-content/plugins/scaleable-contact-form/includes.php on line 181
Great plugin, thanks! But it is bad that I can’t to define different adressers to different themes of message.
Great plugin, I like it, I have download it for my blog!
Useful plugin, thanks !
Is there a way to send the message to 2 emails instead of just 1 ? Even if it’s hardcoded, i’m interested !
Thanks
Try to put your recipients separated by “,” into to “Recipient E-Mail” field (eg “you@domain.tld,somebody@domain.tld”). If this does not work out, contact me again.
I am getting the following error;
Fatal error: Call to a member function validateKey() on a non-object in /home/content/59/5020759/html/wp-content/plugins/scaleable-contact-form/includes.php on line 181
Please advise how I can fix this.
Thank you.
@Jennifer: This error occurs in a section of the code which enables the captcha. Did you install the yaCAPTCHA plugin ? Otherwise, you have to disable captcha..
Hi! Thanx for this great plugin!
I got a little problem I’m suing safari (last version on osx)
I can see that the textarea of request message is dragable…..
Please can you fix it?
Thanx
This is what I mean: http://img38.imageshack.us/img38/4346/erroryt.jpg
@Omar: That’s a safari build in. I think you can disable it via CSS, as described here. Good luck.
It’s ok I’ll have a look!
thank you very much for your tips and your great plugin!
Great job and thank you. I works great!
thank you ….

Hi UK,
Please check or make it compatible for WordPress 3.0.1.
Looking for you reply.
Hi,
I’ve installed it but how do I actually use it on my site? It doesn’t come up as a widget, and there is no button to insert it into a page… I’m not sure how I can do that? Any help much appreciated!
@CB:
I’ve added some screenshots here on how to add the formular to your blog above.
What you have to to is add another page / post entry and put the following word / construct into it:
[scaleable-contact-form]
Which will then be magically transformed into the actual contact formular by wordpress.
@Rushabh: Hmm, it works on this Blog, which is 3.0.1. Can you enlarge on the error messages you receive, if any – or whatelse does happen / not happens.
Hi there,
Great form you made here for WordPress… lovin it!
Run in to a problem…. whenever the form is filled in en send for the first time it always comes back as if there was a refresch done.. witch was not.
We can resend it but it does not send… unless there is a slight change made in the name or other field.
Please can you help me out here?
Kind regards
Auke
Hi UK,
it seems to doesn’t work with WordPress 3.0.3.
No error message, only nothing or “you reload this page? etc…”.
@rverrecchia:
Do you use the AJAX mode or plain an simple? I’ve updated to 3.0.3 and it seems to work just fine (http://blog.foaa.de/about/)
Hello,
i installed you Plugin and it works fine, however mails will send from the adress wordpress@lehrgang…
Can i change this adress ? If yes, i would be happy for a hint.
Thnaks
Peter
Sure. The plugin uses the wp_mail function (default wordpress mail function). So you only need to change your email in wp-admin: Settings -> General. If you want to use an external SMTP server (eg gmail or such), you can install a plugin like WP-Mail-SMTP.
hi ulrich,
great plugin, thanks for the work
I have installed it (using wordpress 3.1) and use a simple form (just name, email, message). However it doesnt allow any whitespaces to be typed in – they just get ignored (likethis).
Any ideas?
thanks
how can I edit the title when using a widget?
Its showing up only as a gray bar and I cannot insert a title in the widget.
great plugin otherwise, works without any hassle
hi ..today i applied this plug…after active i tested ..but i am not received any message..
Nice plugin,but the ajax form dosen’t seem to working in wordpress 3.1.3. when you submit the form dosen’t show success message. Just goes blank.
I was able to get the ajax form to work by installing WP super cache.
Thanks a bunch!
I’m using WP v3.1.3
I’ve been very happy with this plug in for the last couple months. Then all of a sudden I stopped getting form submissions from my users although they told me they filled it out and got a success message when finished. Today I installed your latest update and it’s working again. Any chance those past forms that I missed are stored somewhere?! I would love to recover them.
Thanks!

Although it needed some custimization and I did not yet try the captcha, this is a great plugin, thanks!
I installed this plugin but it doesn’t send anywhere. I developed this website for a customer of ours and I don’t know how to read code to see how this contact form authenticates. The customer says that the DNS record needs to resolve………..DNS has to match IP???? I don’t know how to answer his questions.
Now I can’t install any other plugin.
