Customise email title from Contact Us Messages

[limelites]

At the moment, when customers send us a message from the contact us page, the title of the messages come through as, "Message from SILK BLOOMS"

I'm wondering how easy it would be to change the header of the emails to the customers wedding date (which they would need to enter on the form before sending).

I realise this would require custom coding. I'm looking for some help with this though. Anyone?

Did you try a search in the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... in the bottom input box for:
message from

and select Catalog ... then click SEARCH ... to see what files might have that define ...

Hi Ajeh,

I did as it happens.

includes/languages/english/CUSTOM/contact_us.php:

Line #12 : define('EMAIL_SUBJECT', 'Message from ' . STORE_NAME); 

I am able to add the wedding date as an <input id> so that it'd appear as a field in the contact us form, but how would I then get the contents of that field to appear in the title of the messages being sent? I'm assuming I'd need to change 'EMAIL_SUBJECT' to something that 'calls' the field with the wedding date?

[Ajeh]

You might look at the:
/includes/modules/pages/contact_us/header_php.php

The email is sent with:

    zen_mail($send_to_name, $send_to_email, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $text_message, $name, $email_address, $html_msg,'contact_us');

I'm actually struggling with a mod I'm making using the "Add Phone Number to Contact Us Page".

I have the field appearing on the contact us page, it now says, "Wedding Date", but when the form sends it's not sending it with the email. It has to do with this file:

It's been defined properly but I'm struggling with the lines in this file that will actually attach it to the message. As you can see on lines 58, 23 and 17 I have tried to get it working by adding in the lines but I seem to be doing this part wrong. Can you see what I'm missing?

[Ajeh]

You may wish to change this line:

  $name = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['weddingdate']);

to read:

  $weddingdate = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['weddingdate']);

[limelites]

I've edited my last reply, so the PHP has changed slightly. It's now sending the form but the fields are getting all jumbled up. Here is what it's sending:

From: 22/11/11
Phone: 0141*****45
Wedding Date:
Email: removed######################

------------------------------------------------------


Here is what it should be sending:

From: My name should be here
Phone: 0141*****45
Wedding Date: 22/11/11
Email: removed######################

------------------------------------------------------

Can you see from the PHP above what I have done wrong?

If I can get this working then I'll be able to figure out how to append the wedding date to the title of the emails too. very useful for us just knowing the cutomers wedding date at a glance.

[limelites]

OK, that works, thank you!

Now I need to figure out how to append the wedding date to the title of the email :)

[Ajeh]

Something like:

    zen_mail($send_to_name, $send_to_email, EMAIL_SUBJECT, $text_message, $name, $email_address, $html_msg,'contact_us');

to read:

    zen_mail($send_to_name, $send_to_email, EMAIL_SUBJECT . ' - ' . $weddingdate, $text_message, $name, $email_address, $html_msg,'contact_us');

[limelites]

Now that's what I call genius! I don't think I'd have figured that one out, ever! Thank you Ajeh, again!!
