In this video, we're going to use our first module called the contact module

to build Cameron his email form.

The contact module is a core module, so it was included in the Drupal core code

that we downloaded at the beginning of the course to start our project.

All we need to do is enable it and configure it.

First, open the module administration page,

by clicking Modules in the Management menu.

You'll see a list of all the modules currently included in your project.

Modules can be easily enabled or disabled.

Sometimes you'll turn off one or

more modules as you hunt down bugs in your Dribble site.

In addition, too many modules can slow down your site's performance.

So be careful when you enable a module and

just know that it's really easy to disable a module too.

You can see a check box for

this purpose next to each module's name on the far left of each module's row.

You can also see a description of the module's functionality and

the version number in the middle of each row.

The column labeled OPERATIONS, on the right,

is where you find each modules individual options and documentation.

Let's enable the Contact module.

Scroll down the module Administration page until you see one with the name Contact.

Enable it by clicking its check box, and

then scroll to the bottom of the screen and click Save configuration.

Now, we can look under Contact in the OPERATIONS column and

click on the Help link to read the documentation.

And then, we can set up the options specific to the Contact

module by clicking on its link labeled Configure.

The Administration page for

the Contact module holds a table with information about the form.

The first column on the left is labeled CATEGORY.

Each item added to this column will be an option available in a drop down menu

on our form.

This way, a user can tell us if they are contacting us about ordering coffee, or

just sending us feedback on the new website, or anything else we want.

The default category is called Website Feedback.

Let's configure this by clicking on it's Edit link.

Now we can see that the Category name is defined in the first field.

And your admin email has been listed under Recipients.

Let's change that to Cameron's email.

Then, we can add the auto reply in the third field.

We'll have it say, Thank you for your feedback!

We will respond to you within the next 2 days.

Now, click Save.

Let's create the second category, for

people who want to order coffee, instead of give feedback on the website.

Click the Add Category link.

In the first field, give the category the name Coffee Order.

Then, we'll add Elaine's email into the Recipients field.

And we'll add the other auto-reply message.

This one will say, Thank you for your order!

Orders usually ship within 3-5 business days.

Click Save, and we are done creating the form.

Some modules automatically create menu links for you.

But, as stated in its configure page, the contact menu item is disabled by default.

Let's fix this by customizing our menu links on the menu Administration page.

We could get there by clicking on this link, or

we can always go to Structure in the Management menu.

And then click Menus.

Inside of the Menu administration page,

you can edit the four menus that we've working with so far.

Main, Management, Navigation, and

User, or you can create your own by clicking the Add Menu link.

We're going to place a link to contact in the main menu and

it should take any user to our contact form.

But first we have to enable the Contact Menu item.

The configure page for the Contact module gave us some instructions about this.

It said that the Contact Menu item is in the navigation menu by default,

so we know where to look for it.

Back in the Menus administration page, click List Links,

next to the Navigation menu.

Find the disabled Contact menu item in the list and click on its edit link.

Set the Menu link title to Contact, and

the description to something like, Chat with Cameron.

Make sure to check the Enabled check box.

And let's set its parent link to the

Let's leave the Weight alone, and we'll click Save.

And after saving, we're taken to a view of the links in the Main menu.

And now you can see that Contact is there, next to About Us and Home.

Another thing we can do in these Menu administration pages

is change the order of Menu links, manually, by dragging and

dropping them using the arrows on the far left of each row.

For example, let's put Home at the top, so that it's the first item in the Main menu.

Just click on the crisscrossed arrows on the left of the Home row and

drag the whole row to the top.

Click Save configuration and then click back to Home.

Hooray!

Now, Home is the first tab, and there's a tab for our new Contact form.
