You can add the new inputs similar to the name ... but then you need to customize the file:
/includes/pages/contact_us/header_php.php

To include the information when the email is sent ...

Thanks for the quick reply...

I would like customers to sign up before they are able to contact me.

is that possible?

thanxs

You could test if the customer is logged in and if not send them to the login page first ...

This way, they would have to have an account or not be able to complete the form ...

Note: many will not be thrilled that they have to login to contact the site ...

ok iv edited this file and the contact us page (http://unikids.splay.co.uk/zencart/i...age=contact_us)

and i can see the new title (book title) but when filled in the email only delivers the name, email and message?

HERE ARE PARTS OF THE FILES I AM EDITING:

this is part of my header file:

$error = false;
if (isset($_GET['action']) && ($_GET['action'] == 'send')) {
$name = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['contactname']);
$booktitle = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['booktitle']);
$email_address = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['email']);
$enquiry = zen_db_prepare_input(strip_tags($_POST['enquiry']));

$zc_validate_email = zen_validate_email($email_address);

if ($zc_validate_email and !empty($enquiry) and !empty($name)) {
// auto complete when logged in
if($_SESSION['customer_id']) {
$sql = "SELECT customers_id, customers_firstname, customers_lastname, customers_password, customers_email_address, customers_default_address_id
FROM " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . "
WHERE customers_id = :customersID";

$sql = $db->bindVars($sql, ':customersID', $_SESSION['customer_id'], 'integer');
$check_customer = $db->Execute($sql);
$customer_email= $check_customer->fields['customers_email_address'];
$customer_booktitle= $check_customer->fields['customers_booktitle'];
$customer_name= $check_customer->fields['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $check_customer->fields['customers_lastname'];
} else {
$customer_email='Not logged in';
$customer_name='Not logged in';

Do i need to add anything here???
