Lithium contact app¶

Lithium contact is a simple contact form allowing users of your website to easily contact you via email.

Quick start guide¶

To get started using the contact app, follow these steps:

Install the blog app by adding 'lithium.contact' to INSTALLED_APPS.
Add the contact app’s URLs to your project’s urls.py:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
        ...
        url(r'^contact/', include('lithium.contact.urls')),
        ...
)
Add your email address to the MANAGERS section of settings.py:
MANAGERS = (
        ('Kyle Fuller', 'inbox@kylefuller.co.uk'),
)

Using your own templates¶

This template is used to render the email before it is sent. The template context will contain the following:

sender: The sender’s email address.
subject: The sender’s subject.
message: The sender’s message.

    {{ form.as_p }}
