Call for price / Special Order details in message

Hi!

I was wondering if there would be a way for the "Special Order" or "Call for Price" option to keep the item number or item name in the "Contact us" page...

For example, when a cutomer is on the page of item A and sees "Special Order", in the message box there will already be a message saying like "Dear Shop, I would like to order the Item A".... or "I would like a price for Item A"...
So the customer can add comments and fill up the "contact us" form without having to describe the item or copy/paste the url in the message...

Thanks!

Re: Call for price / Special Order details in message

There's a plugin called (something like) "Ask A Product Question" which basically clones the Contact Us infrastructure but retains a product-id and I think includes the product name in the email that's sent.
I haven't looked at what versions it's been kept compatible with, but you might want to look into it to see if it suits your needs.

Re: Call for price / Special Order details in message

Ok, I tried it... works well... BUT... it appears on all item pages... I would need it to replace the "call for price" button or text...
I am not experienced in that, so I tried just changing all "call_for_price" for "special_order" in all files... did not work...

Is there a way to change the "link" to which the "Call for Price" button to be the link for the "Ask a Question" with the items info, etc... ?
