Try this:

 

The simplest method for the html is to just hard-code your additional fields in the template file contact-form.tpl.

To actually process the form you will need to create an override for the controller by ceating a file called ContactController.php in /<web-root>/<your-optional-ps-folder>/override/controller containing something like:

<?php

class ContactController extends ContactControllerCore {

 

function preProcess()

{

if (Tools::isSubmit('submitMessage'))

{

// The form has been submitted so your field validation code goes in here.

// Get the entered values for your fields using Tools::getValue('<field-name>')

// Flag errors by adding a message to $this->errors e.g.

$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('I haven't even bothered to check!');

}

parent::preProcess();

if (Tools::isSubmit('submitMessage') && is_empty($this->errors))

{

// Success so now perform any addition required actions

// Note that the only indication of success is that $this->errors is empty

}

}

}

hi

Thanks for your help

in contact-form.tpl

i added

 

 

<!-- 2 new fields -->

<p><label for="contactperson">{l s='Name'}</label>

<input type="text" id="contactperson" name="contactperson" value="{if isset($contactperson)}{$contactperson|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'|stripslashes}{/if}" />

</p>

<p><label for="companyname">{l s='Company'}</label>

<input type="text" id="companyname" name="companyname" value="{if isset($companyname)}{$companyname|escape:'htmlall':'UTF-8'|stripslashes}{/if}" />

</p>

 

 

how will ContactController.php look like then?

Use the code I pasted above (add the closing tag I forgot it) and/or follow the link I got it from. They have the complete details there and how to upload it.

Once everything is uploaded to the correct folders test it out.

 

PS - always save your orignal file somewhere before making any edits. That way if it doesn't work, you can always revert to the old one that did.

i did copy the file as it was

 

after clicking on submit i get

HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

 

my override looks like this

 

<?php

class ContactController extends ContactControllerCore {

 

function preProcess()

{

if (Tools::isSubmit('submitMessage'))

{

$this->errors[] = Tools::displayError('I havent even bothered to check!');

}

parent::preProcess();

if (Tools::isSubmit('submitMessage') && is_empty($this->errors))

{

 

}

}

}

Sorry I didn't test the code before I sent it. Let me play with it and see if I can get it to parse correctly without the error.
