[ckan-dev] Best way to add a contact form

Tue Feb 18 16:16:51 UTC 2014

Except if I'm wrong, there is not easy way to do it since an extension like
CKAN-page does not really let you create pages with a form.

You have no other choice than creating an extension that implement iRouter
and then define a controller and the corresponding templates.

The good news, if you are willing to do it, is that I did something like
that few days ago :
https://github.com/CityofSurrey/ckanext-surrey/blob/master/ckanext/surrey/plugin.pyalso
look at controller.py and the contact template.

(It's on CKAN 2.2, but it should be the same)
