Add a field to the contast us form

I apologize in advance if this has been asked and answered...I have the latest version of Zen, 1.3.0.2, I would like to add a field for the customer to include their phone number in the contact us form. Is this possible, and if so, can anyone explain how to go about doing so? I don't want this to be required as it is only for people who wish to book shows.

Thanks in advance,
Kelly

BTW I did get some search results for my question, but they are for older versions.

Since this is about template customizing + for Zen-Cart v1.3x (and, correct, results are only found for older versions only) - sounds like fun. :wink2:

// Step 1:

In your includes/templates/<your_template>/tpl_contact_us_default.php file,

find:

<label class="inputLabel" for="email-address"><?php echo ENTRY_EMAIL; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('email', ($error ? $_POST['email'] : $email), ' size="40" id="email-address"') . '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_REQUIRED_SYMBOL . '</span>'; ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

add below:

<label class="inputLabel" for="contactphonenumber"><?php echo ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('phone_number', $phone_number, ' size="40" id="phone_number"') . '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_REQUIRED_SYMBOL . '</span>'; ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

// Step 2:

In your includes/modules/pages/contact_us/<your_template>/header_php.php file,

find:

$enquiry = zen_db_prepare_input(strip_tags($_POST['enquiry']));

add below:

$phone_number = zen_db_prepare_input(stripslashes(trim($_POST['phone_number']))) : "";

Then, find:

if ($zc_validate_email and !empty($enquiry) and !empty($name)) {

replace with:

if ($zc_validate_email and !empty($enquiry) and !empty($name) and !empty($phone_number)) {

Then, find:

$html_msg['EXTRA_INFO'] = $extra_info['HTML'];

add right below:

$html_msg['PHONE_NUMBER'] = $phone_number;

Then, find:

if (empty($enquiry)) {
      $messageStack->add('contact', ENTRY_EMAIL_CONTENT_CHECK_ERROR);
    }

add right below:

if (empty($phone_number)) {
$messageStack->add('contact', ENTRY_EMAIL_PHONE_NUMBER_CHECK_ERROR);
}

// Step 3:

In your includes/languages/english/<your_language>/contact_us.php file,

add the following entries in:

define ('ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER', 'Contact phone number:');
define('ENTRY_EMAIL_PHONE_NUMBER_CHECK_ERROR', 'You did not filled out your contact phone number.');

// Step 4:

In your email/email_template_contact_us.html file,

find:

$EXTRA_INFO

add below:

$PHONE_NUMBER

Of course, the email template modifications part is only suggested - you can add this variable anywhere you'd like, from that template file, in order to fit your needs. :wink2:

I believe these should be all. :cool:

Wow! Thanks for the reply. Let me grab a cup of tea and settle in for a bit! This could take a little while. :smile:

Thank you again! :D

Very well. Please advise if it works (even if it doesn't :lookaroun). :smile:

A couple corrections to TheOracle's post...

1. Label mismatch:

<label class="inputLabel" for="contactphonenumber"><?php echo ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('phone_number', $phone_number, ' size="40" id="phone_number"') . '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_REQUIRED_SYMBOL . '</span>'; ?>
<br class="clearBoth" /> 
```should be:```php
<label class="inputLabel" for="phone-number"><?php echo ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('phone_number', $phone_number, ' size="40" id="phone-number"') . '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_REQUIRED_SYMBOL . '</span>'; ?>
<br class="clearBoth" /> 

2. Syntax error:

$phone_number = zen_db_prepare_input(stripslashes(trim($_POST['phone_number']))) : ""; 
```should be:```php
$phone_number = (isset($_POST['phone_number'])) ? zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['phone_number']) : '';
```(FYI: trim and stripslashes are already done by the prepare-input function)


3. You said you didn't want the phone number to be "required", so don't make this change:```php
if ($zc_validate_email and !empty($enquiry) and !empty($name) and !empty($phone_number)) {  

4. And of course change the text in the new define() to suit your use.

:shocking: :shocking: :shocking:

Ok ... this one really hurts. I have something in my eye ... :cry:

Thanks. I wasn't aware it was included.

sleepless, did you get this to work? For some reason everything seems to look good on mine, but I still don't receive the information I added. Basically, I added a line that asks for the product's name and it is not required. I tested it on my test site, and though it appears to be a functional form.. I never see it in my text-based e-mails.

Also, when I turn on the HTML emails, where it should show a small field of products that the customer is interested in, it shows $ITEM_NAME (the variable i'm using). Any ideas?

Does the codes work or not?
