Description

HGK Feedback Form plugin adds feedback (or comment) form to any page or post. It does that by replacing <!-- hgk feedback form --> magic comment with the form’s HTML.

HGK Feedback Form features clean look and feel similar to WordPress’ standard Submit Comment form, yet customizable via included style.css.

The following options can be set from plugin’s admin panel:

  • Recipient email address for user feedback submissions.
  • Subject for notification email.
  • Message to show user in case of successful feedback submission.
  • Message to show user in case of submission errors.

Installation

  1. Download hgk-feedback-form.zip.
  2. Uncompress.
  3. Upload hgk-feedback-form to your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  4. Activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
  5. Configure options via plugin’s admin panel. Once plugin is installed and activated a new HGK Feedback From item appears in General menu of WordPress admin Dashboard.
  6. Edit a page or post and insert <!-- hgk feedback form --> to its content.

I have another contact form on my site that’s not very nimble. I tried replacing it with your plug in. It does not show up on my site. I put the old code back in. Do you know if your code has conflicts with other plugins, or any other reason why it would not show up?

THANK YOU!
Katy

Please make sure that when you insert this magic <!-- hgk feedback form --> comment, you do it in HTML Editor (more on WordPress editors here: Visual Versus HTML Editor).

Otherwise ‘< ' and '>‘ symbols will be transformed into HTML escape sequences and HGK Feedback Form will not see the comment to replace with a form.

Hope this helps!

I just figured out what was wrong! On the plugin’s website, it says to use “<!- hgk feedback form ->” which doesn’t work. However, using “<!-- hgk feedback form -->” as you just mentioned in your email, does! Works great — and much better than the form I was using before! Thanks!

I don’t know If I said it already but …Great site…keep up the good work. :) I read a lot of blogs on a daily basis and for the most part, people lack substance but, I just wanted to make a quick comment to say I’m glad I found your blog. Thanks, :)

A definite great read..Jim Bean

Hi Buddy, Nice plugin…Small suggestion, Instead being a link fron side menu, can you make it some thing like floating right corner of every page with on and off option….What i mean is if you check the Chitika.com webiste, you always see a comment or feedback form on right down corner of every page of the website, with one click show, another click hide option. Can you make this with using ajax tool, then its really looks cool and every one like…
thanks

I love the plugin!Very easy to implement and looks great.

A friend suggested that it might be a security risk though if the input isn’t sanitized (Stripped of escape codes, etc). Otherwise hackers may be able to insert malicious code via the feedback form.

So my question is… Is the input sanitized or is that a concern?

Mike,

The plugin is written with security in mind. And it does not modify content of the blog itself, instead it sends user submission via email.

I installed your plugin to my site but got this message. Is the problem that it is not compatible with wordpress 2.9 yet?
Plugin could not be activated because it triggered a fatal error.
