Contact page - how to insert in ez page?

[gjh42]

If you use define_page_2 or the like for your form, you won't have to worry about creating the page; you will still have to go through the process of renaming the page (in about 5 different places) if you don't want it to show in navigation as Page 2.

Thanks.

My other thought was just taking the current Contact Us page (which is hardly ever used) and just editing the fields to reflect the information I need to get from the customer.

This way I can just put the information from my EZ page right on this new page (above where the form automatically goes now)

I just can't for the life of me figure out HOW to add codes for fields of 'address', 'phone', and 'number requested'.

ughhhh. I admire anyone who understands this stuff. A job I could never do.

I found a thread about band_something or other and don't understand it at all. What's worse, it's saying I should have a file in my CUSTOM template called tpl_contact_us_default.php
and I do not.

Hmmmm. I don't know why I don't but now I wonder what else I'm missing in my CUSTOM template. I see a LOT of files under the default template along with this above file, and NONE of them are in my CUSTOM area.

Only files you have customized should be in your custom template folders. If there is one you want to customize, copy it to your template folder and edit it there.

Okay thanks. I've spent the last 3 hrs going through a tread. In comment #9 they list 3 files that need to be messed with.

What I did was take MY section of code for the name area in the contact form. I copied/pasted it and then took all the info out for name and put in 'state'.

I then fiddled with the code in the other area that they had in that link above also under #9. (language/english/contact)

These two things made the form show 'state'. But for the life of me I could not fix the other file listed in #9 to get the info that I filled in under 'state' to come through in the email when I tested it and sent it to myself.

My problem seems to be not being able to link what I'm doing into /modules/pages/contact_us/header_php.php

I'm really trying to figure this out via the threads but I'm completely lost.
