A Convenient Contact Form tab
The CE Feedback is a plugin that adds a Feedback image as a sidebar on your site and when clicked it loads a feedback form using Contact Enhanced to allow any website user to leave a comment on your site. It loads in a modal window using Joomla default's modal window (jQuery for Joomla 3+ and MooTools for Joomla 2.5 and older), so if your customer have a question about a particular page he can submit a feedback form without ever leaving the page.
This plugin requires Contact Enhanced Component in order to work and it's already included in the Professional and Developer Subscriptions, so there's no need to purchase this plugin if you've purchase one of those subscriptions.
Other features:
- Every feedback form can also record information about the client's browser, operating system, screen resolution and IP address;
- No plugins like Flash or Java needed, no problem with popup blockers;
- Unobtrusive behaviour, visitors with disabled JavaScript or old browsers can still be able to submit the form (in this case it will not load in a modal window);
- Simple and intuitive behavior: loading-indicator, close button and changing icons describe possible interactions;
- All Contact Enhanced Features like Custom Fields, GMaps & directions integration, HTML templates & emails, CAPTCHA, Campaign Monitor Newsletter integration and much more;
