  Hey everyone,

  Thanks for posting, the forums section has been a great help to me in the past.

  Today I am looking to create a form, much like a feedback or comment form, that will generate emails to a third party.
  I found this example a few moments ago: http://www.theallianceforappalachia.org/send-comments-to-the-osm/

  I want to be able to log user info, provide a stock text in the body, and send the messages to a third party. I was going to just use a feedback/contact widget but do not know how to a) send the info to a third party AND b) retain the ability to keep track of the users who have submitted comments.

  Does anyone have advice or references to html or php script/code that might be able to help?

  The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

  Here at Wp.com, we do not allow things like Javascript, PHP, and others.
  You have to find one that is completely HTML based.

  To my knowledge wordpress.com blogs have no contact form. You could do it by comments.

  And beyond basic HTML/scripts/code are removed for security purposes.

  Thanks for the info.

  If need be I can take the script/code and put it on another website… I am just looking for the how-to. I filled out the form found: http://www.theallianceforappalachia.org/send-comments-to-the-osm/ and it’s exactly what we need, it actually sends the email from your email address (you receive a copy).

  Any thoughts on how the aforementioned website (I believe hosted on wordpress) could have created the form???

  No wordpress.com banner means .org off the bat.

  This is incorrect WP.com does have a Contact form short code here is the documentation for it http://en.support.wordpress.com/contact-form/

  The short code is written like this
  [contact-form]

  It’s best to turn off comments on the page so it doesn’t confuse the readers of your blog.

  Please note that this contact form short code will not publish to multiple emails the Only email the contact form will publish too is the email you have set up for your WP.com account.
