I am the webmaster for a non-profit organization that has no money to pay for freelance work. I myself am disabled and volunteer my time to this organization. While I have an extensive programming background, my disability has impaired my cognitive abilities and the limits of what I am capable of anymore are html, css, a smattering of php, worpress with plugins and considerable use of open source apps & code. If you can donate your time to resolve our need, I would be eternally grateful (would give you attribution AND would pray that you be blessed for your kindness!).
I have spent literally days scouring the internet for a solution to my need and while some come close, they still lack essential elements. I find it hard to believe that no one else has a similiar need and that there is nothing out there already. Maybe there is but I couldn't find it. If there isn't, this would make a very powerful, and probably profitable, package.
Some background:
We have a member list that runs into the hundreds. Currently those email addresses are posted on the website and easily harvested by spammers. Our members get a LOT of spam as a result.
Here is what I want to do:
I want to have a simple link by a member's name that says "send email". When someone clicks on that link, I want to pass a member id to a modal contact form that will retrieve the recipient's email address when the visitor hits the send button, thus sending the email to the correct recipient without ever disclosing the recipient's email address. I want to also allow the visitor to receive a copy of the email from an administrative email account, this can be hard coded, that shows the recipient's name but not their email address.
The recipient email addresses are in a mysql database that contains a member id, name and email address. I can create the webpage that will list the members and the link containing the member id with no problem. What I don't know how to do is the modal contact form that does everything else, including retrieving the correct member's email address from the mysql database, sending off the email, verifying data fields, feedback on success or failure of sending the email etc.
I want to stay away from javascript if at all possible because so many people now disable it in their browsers. I don't know if all I need done can be created in php alone though.
Can anyone help us out?
