Email without TTG-BE

My web hosting company has not been able to get PDO, pdo_sqlite or sqlite working so am unable to get the TTGbe working so is their another way to populate my contact details so people could send me an email.

Re: Email without TTG-BE

That is the only way. These are standard modules that every host should provide. Your host took measures to make them unavailable. If they're unwilling or unable to enable these then this will be the first case we've come across.

I logged the issue with the hosting company a week ago and they indifferent to resolving the case
The call center (out in the Pacific) seems to have a book of excuses, I think I have spoken to every staff member.
They don't seem to be able to understand what I want

Re: Email without TTG-BE

And, if you're willing to risk the spammers, you can always include a mailto: text link in the text block of your contact page.

Re: Email without TTG-BE

in the text block using html. at its basic:
<a href ="mailto:you@yourdomain.com">Email me</a>

This only works if the person clicking has an email client on their computer (Outlook, Windows Mail, etc)

there are permutations, like automatically adding a subject for the email. You can google "mailto link" and come up with a bunch of stuff.
