I tried to look through resources but could not find anything...

Is there a plugin that allows users to report a problem with a link (not the one that checks a URL) - simply a feedback form - for each link..

I don't know if there is a plugin, but this would not really need a plugin.
Of course if there is a plugin it's even better, but not necessary.

You just need a form mailer script, and place its link to link.html.
The formmailer script should be able to treat input arguments, which is sent as hidden form element (or as you set).

In that way, you could use in link.html:
<a href="/cgi-bin/formmailer.pl?<%ID%>">Report link problems</a>
or
<a href="/cgi-bin/formmailer.pl?fieldname=<%ID%>">Report link problems</a>

Hope that helps.

Hi webmaster,

Yes I could do that (and have that at the moment) - just trying to avoid 'foreign' scripts on my new site - and hende the request for a plugin...

This again really doesn't have to be a plugin.

You can use the idea above and modify the recommend_it plugin, if you want to be fancy.

I don't believe that plugin added anything to the parameters, and just put a script in the user_cgi directory and a couple of templates in the templates area.

Just modify the forms area, for the data you want, and hard code in the To: address.

If I have a few minutes later on I'll do that, if no one else beats me to it.

The recommend_it plugin shouuld have all the parts, form, mailer, etc to do a good feedback form. Just hard code the admin address, or yank it from $CFG and allow the user to enter a subject, and comment field, and pass whatever links information you want from the links record by passing those values to the mailer as part of the $msg string.

Thanks Pugdog - can I set recommend_it so that it requires users to be logged in to use it?
