Duplicating the Contact Us form
Hi,
Here is what I'm doing:
I want to create a separate form based on the standard Contact Us and then have it appear elsewhere (at the bottom of a Define Page that I create or, better, at the bottom of an EZpage that I create).
In the second form, I will add the following modules:
• Image to Contact - allows user to send images
https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1708
• Contact Us - Add Subject
https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=226
• Add Phone Number to Contact Us
https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=221
FYI, this second form will be used for a Trade-In Program page. If a client visits the site and they are interested in trading-in their old equipment, they can click on the page, read about the program, then send info about their equipment, including pictures.
I would GREATLY prefer to go the EZpage route so this thing is not limited to the define page.
If I can get some help doing this in a way that uses the template folders (so no core files change), I will package it up along with instructions and submit it to become as a plugin.
+++++
My plan is to:
- Backup my site
- Install the three plugins above
- Test modifications
- Download the new php files
- Revert the site php files back (not the sql that was added)
- Rename the modified files that were downloaded
- Modify the code in the renamed files so that they call on each other
- Create a new page (defined or EZ) that summons the alternate form
I haven't been able to find a zc154 thread explains the mechanics of the Contact Us form in a simple way that can be followed.
Here are my questions:
- Can I do this w/o changing core?
- Can I do this w/o additional SQL patching (other than what is in the other mods)?
- Where do the elements of the Contact Us page live? I read somewhere that there are 7 files?
- How do I get the new form to show up on an EZpage or Define Page?
When I finish, this package could be useful to who need a second form.
