Contact page?

ing · 09-13-2005

Hi,

First off, thanks for the great script.

I'm wondering how hard it would be to add a contact page, a basic form so site visitors may contact the webmaster. I've seen a few of the sites have a contact link with a mailto: link to their email address, but I think a form would be better.

The form would only need 3 fields - Name, Email, and Comment/Question. I'm thinking it would be similar to the submit.php and submit.tpl, but I'm not really sure.

Would this be easy to do, or not?

Thanks

Thanks.

Content visible to registered users only.

Can you please pm me also. Thanks

Romario · 09-17-2005

And me, please.

Why don't you just reveal it all in the public area? :lol:

WebDesignPoint · 09-17-2005

I've done this on my directory. Maybe this info should be added to the wiki?

vkaryl · 09-17-2005

Sounds like a good idea, webdesignpoint. Be good if you handled that, since you're the one with an operative form....

Thanks. Great site, too!

I'll need to register on the wiki first. If the admin is ok with it, I'll put it up tomorrow or the next day.

David · 09-17-2005

Sure, go for it!

WebDesignPoint · 09-18-2005

It's a nightmare trying to add this to the wiki, so I'm going to post it here instead.

Create a file called 'contact.php' with the code below and place it in the root PLD folder.

contact.php

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

Create a file called 'contact.tpl' with the code below and place it in the templates folder.

contact.tpl

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

Add a link to your contact.php file in your header.tpl or footer.tpl or where ever you want to link to it.

Note: You need to change this line in contact.php:

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

Replace the email address with your own and the name with your name.

I'll post some other details about what other changes can be made shortly.

David · 09-18-2005

Yes, the wiki is not what I had hoped it would be, mainly because we still have not figured out how to add code and images. As time allows I'll try to work toward an alternative solution.

Thanks for posting the code.

Just added this contact form, and thought that I would share the changes I made to header.tpl

It is pretty simple, and it puts the contact link to the R/H side just above the Search button

Just go into the standard header.tpl file and change the Last line only to :

Original line

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

New line

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

* just make sure it is all on 1 line in your file

This doesn't seem to work for me..

Here is my contact.php

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

contact.tpl

Code:

Content visible to registered users only.

I can't see any problems..anyone see whats wrong?

clubracer · 02-21-2006

Installed the contact files on an v2.0 and it was working fine.
On a v3.2 installation the contact page is showing up but no emails are send...

Kevuk2k · 02-21-2006

Code:

No disrespect to others but I have already said to people that for a small donation to this forum and you can have a copy of mine. :wink:

Neticus · 02-21-2006

@clubracer

If it helps you troubleshoot, I have 'contact us' working in v3.02 have not touched the files since v2, seems to work fine.

For now...

Can you send me your (working) contact files (php & tpl) without your personal (email) information?

Thnx in forward.
