How to Create a Front-End Form Unrelated to Contact Form in Magento

admincmsforms

I am interested in creating a submission form that allows users to submit ideas related to new products. It has nothing to do with the sales or order functionality of Magento. I just need it to be a simple form on a CMS page that is logged into the database and made viewable in the admin section. I have come across several tutorials that allow you to extend a basic contact form but that will not work in this instance. Any general guidance would be appreciated.

You must write code. You must write a module for this to work clean. I have write a similar module where i displayed a survey and based on user selection i was showing products they want.

If you are willing to create such a module you could use this generator.

Cheers.

There is a problem with the url where you submit the form.
The form action is relative /contacts/index/post. It needs to be absolute. BASE_URL/contacts/index/post.
For this, edit the template that is rendering the form and add the form action like this:

Mage::getUrl('contacts/index/post')

What hosting control panel are you using?

As you are using Google Apps for emailing, you need to make sure that emails that are sent from your Magento installation is delivered to your Google Apps mail server and not to the local mail server.

The way to do this differs from one hosting control panel to another:-

1. cPanel

Go to cPanel --> MX Entry --> Email Routing.

Change it to Remote Mail Exchanger.

2. Plesk

Go to Domains --> Open in control panel --> Mail --> Change settings.

Uncheck the box next to Activate mail service on domain.

If the above ways still doesn't resolve the issue, you need to have your hosting provider trace on why the emails are still being delivered locally.
