Currently the Contact Us form is referring to a pre-set default text for the subject line of the emails that come in. This is not helpful for my client, since he gets a ton of these emails and wants a good way to prioritize his customer's inquiries.

Is it possible to add an additional field for subject line in the contact page template and then edit contact_us.php to call the variable for that new field rather than using the static text like "message from store name"?

It seems like it would be, but as I am a somewhat novice programmer (I've been using Zencart for a while now, but I still am no php expert)....I am wondering just how complex it might get.

I have done lots of searching in the forum and saw the posts about adding some additional input fields for just collecting more info....but this seems slightly different.

Is trying to mess with this particular field (email_subject) not a good idea?

Please advise! Thank you!
