Additional contact us fields

[TheOracle]

Hi,

I have just finished with a new new contribution called: Additional contact us fields. Quite similar to the additional customers fields but for the contact us page.

Site: 'http://www.storm.ca/~oracle'

Good luck !

Rather than just downloading the MOD, what are the inputs on this one ?

Hi TheOracle, I've just downloaded the mod. too early to make much comment yet. I do have a question though. Having installed a num. of other mods., I am just curious on the file structure for the
includes/modules/<your_template>/pages/contact_us/header_php.php file.

Mind sharing with us the rational for creating the /pages/contact_us/ folder under ones template folder rather than integrating the required changes into the existing header_php.php file at /includes/modules/pages/contact_us?

[TheOracle]

Several hundreds (perhaps thousands) of Zen-Cart users are using template overrides as well as modules overrides. Which is why, I always state the customized template name within my MOD steps in order to avoid any confusion that might be involved.

Only one little problem ... the /pages/ directory is NOT overridable.

[TheOracle]

Oh ... just noticed what you meant there ... 'your_template' folders are not being used at the right place in my package ... I will dig into that today.

While you are at it, would it be too much to ask if you could make an additional field "required/not required"?
Btw, is it possible to place the new field between the "Email Address" and "Message" fields?

Already planned for the next release.

You can modify the while loop statement block, under your customized contact us template page, the way you want it to be by placing this one blocks onto the place you wish too.

However, for now, individual additional fields are not yet implemented. All blocks must be executed together.

Thank for the mod. dude, I anxiously awaits your next version
