Title: modify or add a new contact form
Post by: xmanhattan on February 25, 2009, 16:57:50

I have created and tested a contact form using php and am trying to integrate it into the contact component for use on my site.

It appears that I need a little advice as I have analyzed contact.html.php and noticed that it uses the language files for the variables such as _EMAIL_PROMPT and _CMN_EMAIL.  I have created some test inputs but after submitting, the answers did not appear in the email that I received.   I assume that since I am not using a language translation file, that I would have to create an if statement for the input using multiple translations of what I want as input.

To correct my problem, should I be editing contact.php or contact.class.php?

Here is an example of the coding:

Code: [Select]

<br />
<label for="website<?php echo $random; ?>"<?php echo $rtl; ?>><?php echo &#39;Current website:&#39;; ?>:</label><br />
<input type="text" name="website" id="website<?php echo $random; ?>" size="30" maxlength="120" class="inputbox" value="http://" title="<?php echo &#39;Current website:&#39;; ?>" />

<td><input name="check[]" type="checkbox" value="cms" id="chk07" /></td>
<td><b>CMS</b></td>
<td>Installation and setup of Content Management Programs Elxis, Joomla, Mambo, extensions, templates.</td>
<td>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;</td>

What instructs the component to return values to be included in the email?
