GuestHi,
Is it possible to have a button next to each directory entry which website visitors can tick if they want to contact a particular entry via a contact form.
I would also like the option to have one button which would contact all directory entries in a particular category – sending the same contact form.
If this is possible, please could you let me know which template/extension I would need to purchase?
Thank you!

RE: Is it possible to have a button next to each directory entry which website visitors can tick if they want to contact a particular entry via a contact form.
Technically, yes, it is possible but there is nothing available that put an button on an entry “out of the box”, so to speak. We have the Contact extension which does add a contact form to the entry profile/detail page which a user can use to email the entry, but there is no button to link directly to the form on that page for the entry. Hope that make sense.
RE: I would also like the option to have one button which would contact all directory entries in a particular category – sending the same contact form.
The Contact extension only supports emailing the current entry the user is visiting on your site. Each entry gets its own form, well, it is the same form, it is just smart enough to know who to email by knowing what the current entry the user is viewing.
There is no built in method to do bulk emailing by category. The business directory data can be easily exported and then imported into a mail service like Mailchimp to process bulk mailings.
I hope I have answered you questions thoroughly. Let me know.

Thanks so much for your reply, looks like I will need to keep looking for a plugin that can do this.
