Django CMS Contact Form Plugin

Contact form plugin for Django CMS with spam protection and i18n.

If you want to use ReCAPTCHA you have to get a Public and Private Key from http://www.google.com/recaptcha. You can get them for free.

The Akismet spam protection method requires an Akismet API Key which is obtainable from http://akismet.com/ For private persons this is free, too.

Dependencies

Python Libs

If you decide to use the ReCAPTCHA spam protection method you need to install the python library recaptcha-client (package python-recaptcha in Debian).

If you use Akismet for spam protection akismet is needed. You also need to set your domain url in django admin in the section "sites".

Both libraries can be installed by pip or easy_install.

It is recommended but not required to use South. Again it can be easily installed by pip or easy_install.
