Please can you include a contact widget in the core widgets. So that if one would like to add a quick contact widget in the footer container it can be done easily.
it can be exactly what one would find in _msgform.disp.php but capable of being added to containers.

Is this possible to do as a widget?

I actually made a plugin instead, however please can the dev provide the ability to specify a custom template path for the _contact_msg.form.php in anon_async.php something like:

case 'get_msg_form':
		// display send message form
		$recipient_id = param( 'recipient_id', 'integer', 0 );
		$recipient_name = param( 'recipient_name', 'string', '' );
		$subject = param( 'subject', 'string', '' );
		$email_author = param( 'email_author', 'string', '' );
		$email_author_address = param( 'email_author_address', 'string', '' );
		$redirect_to = param( 'redirect_to', 'url', '' );
		$post_id = NULL;
		$comment_id = param( 'comment_id', 'integer', 0 );
		$BlogCache = & get_BlogCache();
		$Collection = $Blog = $BlogCache->get_by_ID( $blog_ID );
		$template_path = param( 'template_path', 'string', '' );

		locale_activate( $Blog->get('locale') );

		if( $recipient_id > 0 )
		{ // Get identity link for existed users
			$RecipientCache = & get_UserCache();
			$Recipient = $RecipientCache->get_by_ID( $recipient_id );
			$recipient_link = $Recipient->get_identity_link( array( 'link_text' => 'nickname' ) );
		}
		else if( $comment_id > 0 )
		{ // Anonymous Users
			$gender_class = '';
			if( check_setting( 'gender_colored' ) )
			{ // Set a gender class if the setting is ON
				$gender_class = ' nogender';
			}
			$recipient_link = '<span class="user anonymous'.$gender_class.'" rel="bubbletip_comment_'.$comment_id.'">'.$recipient_name.'</span>';
		}

		$blog_skin_ID = $Blog->get_skin_ID();
		if( ! empty( $blog_skin_ID ) )
		{ // check if Blog skin has specific concact message form
			$SkinCache = & get_SkinCache();
			$Skin = & $SkinCache->get_by_ID( $blog_skin_ID );
			$ads_current_skin_path = $skins_path.$Skin->folder.'/';
		}

	if( ! empty( $template_path) && file_exists( $template_path) )
	{ // Template file exists for the current form
		require $template_path;
	}
	else {
	
	require skin_template_path( '_contact_msg.form.php' );
	
	}
	
		break;

We have this widget in the works already in some branch. I will pop up in a future release.

@fplanque please can you look at this and give the ability to specify a custom template path in anon_async.php

//anon_async.php
case 'get_msg_form'

$template_path = param( 'template_path', 'string', '' );

if( ! empty( $template_path) && file_exists( $template_path) )
{ // Template file exists for the current form
    require $template_path;
}
else {

require skin_template_path( '_contact_msg.form.php' );

}

@achillis just a question, why do you need the template path to be configurable? I can figure it out, but can you please give us an example of how are you using this (or how are you planning to use it)? Thank you.

@achillis @mgsolipa We cannot guarantee that any of the contact form handling code will remain like this and we cannot add customization options that do not support the direction we are going in.

Besides making the form a widget, another thing we are currently working on is the ability to configure which fields (including custom fields) go into the contact form. This configuration will be done in the back-office. This means we are rewriting the code that displays the contact form(s) pretty heavily.

One question emerges: do we need one contact form per collection or even per site or do we potentially need several different contact forms for a single collection? (in the latter case, a use case description would be appreciated)
