- [Voiceover] It's generally a good idea…to give visitors some way to contact you.…If you don't want to publish an about page…with your phone number and email address,…Drupal itself provides contact forms…you can configure however you like.…The first thing you have to do…is say where the emails will go,…and to do that you go to structure, and contact forms.…This first row here is about the personal contact form.…This is how members can contact each other,…not how to contact you as the administrator.…We're going to focus instead on this website feedback.…
We go over to this drop-down menu, and click edit.…In here it's a fairly simple matter…of changing the recipient.…Let's say that I want it to be [email protected] instead.…You can also add an auto reply here,…so that anybody who submits a note to you…immediately gets a reply.…We'll scroll to the bottom, and before I save…I just want to note this…make this the default form checkbox.…We'll leave it on and click save.…To see how this works, we'll go over to another browser…
