This particular feedback portlet implementation has been deprecated and retired to a source control branch. See instead the Unconference Feedback Portlet which has taken on the trunk for feedback portlet development and will likely be the feedback portlet platform of the future. |
Purpose
This portlet provides an easily extensible system for user submitted feedback forms.
Design
- Display a form with typical feedback fields (name, phone, email, comments, etc).
- Upon submission, email the data to a specified address (or system)
Source Code
The source code for the Feedback Portlet is now available in the JA-SIG Subversion Repository.
