custom forms - data collection

[waynerd]

yikes!

The contact us form consists of the following files:

This one handles the layout, including all the fields you want to collect info for.
I'd take out the "SEND_TO_TEXT" one, and set the default like you do in your regular email form.
Then everything from "ENTRY_NAME" down to "ENTRY_ENQUIRY" would get replaced with your form.

This file checks for logic, errors, etc, and if OK, sends the message off to you, by joining all the fields together into the $message variable. It reads info from the form as $_POST['variable'] names.

This contains the display-text variables to be put into your template.

Hi, iv done the above...(want to add the field 'book title')

1. On the contact us page it does not display book title?? why is that?

2.the message sends. But in the email i only recieve the name, email, message..no book title??


3. Ohh yeh what do you mean by take out the SEND_TO_TEXT??

What am i doing wrong?

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???

If anyone has experience with this process could help...?

I'm close! Using the band signup demo, I've got the fields to show up. and the submit button to send the email.

The email shows up with the correct subject, from, and to. Except: it is HTML (which I don't really care about), but the body only says: $EMAIL_MESSAGE_HTML

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks very much in advance...

[pensive612]

Okay, so I made some progress....

How do i tell the email to be in text format only. If I switch my global setting to text only, it works perfect.

I would like to keep my global setting to HTML. But allow this email response to be in text....

[pensive612]

Well, I found the easiest way for me was to duplicate all contact_us related files and rebuild from there...

seemed to work really well.



if someone else needs more help, feel free to pm me.

Here's a packaged version of the module, designed for v1.3.7 ... tested on v1.3.7.

Please consider a donation to the Zen Cart team if you find it useful, as there are numerous hours invested in upgrading and writing and testing this form.

[rsigmon]

There's an error in the packaged module, in the file "tpl_band_signup_default.php".

The first "<div" tag doesn't appear to be closed.


<div class="centerColumn" id="bandSignupDefault">

<h1 id="bandSignupDefaultHeading"><?php echo HEADING_TITLE; ?></h1>

<?php if ($messageStack->size('band_signup') > 0) echo $messageStack->output('band_signup'); ?>

[DrByte]

Right -- the initial div is closed at the end of the file after everything else in it is displayed.
