Custom HTML and Email Image Plugin

Hi, Is it possible to use the Custom HTML for creating a contact form? The contact form will let the user enter contact details and when submit button was clicked it will proceed to the Email Image plugin. Then when the photo has been taken, the contact details and photo can be send via email. I'm a newbie here. I have no skill on creating a custom plugin. Please help us what to do. Thanks!

Hi @admin21, Yep, you should be able to do that. The HTML Pro plugin allows you to link to other screens in your app via hyperlink, and it's easy to build a form using HTML and have it post the info to a database somewhere. I'd play around with that plugin as a start. Mark

Thanks Mark! Can you also please explain the database thing further? :) As I don't have idea of how will the info from contact form will pull through the email after taking a photo.

Well, the database is only one way to do it. You could actually use something like JotForm, which would send the info to you in an email. There are tons of different solutions for this, so it really depends on your needs. If you're wanting to include a photo with the information in the contact form, that's a bit different. You'd want to come up with a solution that allows you to do that all in one...and I'm not quite sure how off the top of my head! Mark

Perhaps modify this plugin to add a few more items into the body of the email, such as the Contact info. https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=A9C6C1CF0FEE84403C554B8 The Name, Address, City, Phone details would all be in the email body as placeholder items. The snapped photo would then be the last item in that email. Something like this: Name: Address: City: Phone: +--------------------------+ | | | | | PHOTO | | | | | | | +--------------------------+ Does that help? -- Niraj
