HELP!! adding fields to contact us page - email alert configuration

[Topstitched]

Hi,
I'm having some problems adding fields to my contact us page. I have edited the contact-form.tpl to include the fields Phone number and how you heard about us:

 

{l s='Phone number'}
           <input type="text" id="phone" name="phone" />



{l s='How did you hear about us?'}
           <input type="text" id="source" name="source" />

When I recieve the email notification of the enquiry, my new fields are not showing up. They just show the field id.

Message from your shop Topstitched

E-mail address: [email protected]

Phone: {phone}

Where did you hear about us?: {source}

Message: Hello

Any ideas on how to fix it?

[DaveGetStock]

have you edited the .php file as well?

[Topstitched]

I am not sure what I need to put in the .php file. I don't want these fields to be required and thought the code in the .php was to remind people that the field needs to be filled out before submitting.

Do you know what I need to put in?

[Topstitched]

Update: I found another thread that talks about this problem and tries to offer a solution:

http://www.prestashop.com/forums/viewthread/11123/modules/creation_of_new_fields_in_the_contact_form

Tried it myself and followed instructions to the dot - but did not work.

Has anyone else tried to alter the contact us form?

I will post my code for the following three items that are relavant:

1. contact-form.php (in your prestashop’s root directory)
2. contact-form.tpl (in your themes directory)
3. contact.html (yourshopfolder/mails/en/ folder {if thats the language you are using})

Trying to get the following fields:

Name

Phone number (not a required field)
How did you hear about us? (not a required field)

Why did you add al that code?

[Topstitched]

Maybe someone who has successfully made changes to the contact form may recognise what I am doing wrong.

You could have asked first because no-one will scan this code for you.

[Topstitched]

I did ask first - was told to edit the .php which i tried to no avail - even after hours of searching through other threads in the forum.

I am not too sure where I am going wrong - someone who is more familiar with the contact forms can easily pinpoint where the error may be - thus the code to scan for people who can and are willing to help.

Hello People,

I have successfully added new fields to the contact form.

And email returns all the values which the user enters in the form.

Please check the following website for a demo.

If anyone requests how an email would be sent.. I will create a contact corresponding to that email address, so that they could see how the email arrives.

Thanks

[TropischBruin]

Why not share you code here?

[Topstitched]

Hi Cronos
Nice work on getting the form working. Any help you can give me would be much appreciated.
I need the following fields in my contact form:

Subject
Name
E-mail address
Phone number (not a required field)
How did you hear about us? (not a required field)
Message

Subject, Email and Message (the default settings) are currently working fine. Just need to add Name, Phone and How they heard about us.

Thank you muchly!

[Simple1]

in your php your code should have the following form,

this is a working chunk from my else statement.

hopefully you are able to adapt it to yours.

everything else you are doing seems to be ok.

    else
   {
if ( Mail :: Send ( intval ( $cookie -> id_lang ), 'contact' , 'Message from contact form' , array( '{email}' => $_POST[ 'from' ] , '{message}' => stripslashes ( $message ), '{name}' => stripslashes ( $name ), '{suits_required}' => stripslashes ( $suits_required ),'{kneck}' => stripslashes ( $kneck ),'{chest}' => stripslashes ( $chest ),'{sleeve}' => stripslashes ( $sleeve ),'{waist}' => stripslashes ( $waist ),'{leg}' => stripslashes ( $leg ), '{address}' => stripslashes ( $address ), '{city}' => stripslashes ( $city ), '{postalcode}' => stripslashes ( $postalcode ), '{Country}' => stripslashes ( $Country ), '{telephone}' => $_POST[ 'telephone' ] ), $contact -> email )) 
$smarty -> assign ( 'confirmation' , 1 ); 
       else
           $errors[] = Tools::displayError('An error occurred while sending message');
   }
}
