best practice to test contact dev ? [#925790]

Hi,

I'd like to test this module on a 6.14 but don't know what is the best way for installing it (and go back in case of issues). how does it interacts with the core updates ? what is the best practice

In fact the only improved part of code I'm interested in is the 'anonymous user can fill in a contact form and send a mail without knowing the contact email' feature'. (does the module work fine with CAPTCHA ?)

maybe this feature integrated in the last official updates ? can't find the release log..

maybe also this module...
http://drupal.org/project/anonymous_contact

what do you think ?

thanks for any pointers that could help me,

Jerome fr

As with any contrib module, put in sites/all/modules, and then probably you need to do something not normally required - go to the site performance screen and click on the "clear cached data" button at the bottom.

Yes should work fine with CAPTCHA.

Any updates to core's contact module won't be reflected in this contrib version until those same changes are explicitly made to this project, but maybe there won't be any! If you check out the "history" links on this screen http://drupalcode.org/project/drupal.git/tree/refs/heads/6.x:/modules/co... you will see that there have been very few changes to contact module since the start of 2008 and none since 2009 (discounting the git migration commit).

Actually would be useful if the project page said how to install the module. "drop-in replacement" might imply you overwrite core's contact module....

Suggest the following minimal update to project page:

7.x branch is identical to Drupal core's contact module as of 2011-08-25. For subsequent code changes see http://drupalcode.org/project/contact.git/shortlog/refs/heads/7.x-2.x.

6.x branch backports Drupal 7 core's contact module, which adds a permission to allow anonymous users to contact site members.

To install:
