Additional contact us fields

I am finding your instuctions a little to vague for an beginner like myself. Can you be more specific.

The phone number field should appear on the template if you have compared my readings with yours correctly. However, you must also assure that the physical field does exist under your listing table.

In this quote what exactly do you mean by "template" and "listing table"?

Each fields you will create should function correctly once you have also initiate it under your extra_definitions folder + your contact template file (as shown from my example).

What and where exactly is this example?

Your instructions may be fine for an advanced user but for the majority who are beginners we will just get lost because the instuctions are to vague.

Thank you

Your instructions may be fine for an advanced user but for the majority who are beginners we will just get lost because the instuctions are to vague.

Then, I'd strongly recommend that you follow the wiki, tutorial FAQs, Zen-Cart book on how templates & modules overrides works, since you stated to be a beginner with Zen-Cart. Jumping into published MODs without knowing the basics will simply discourage you more than anything else.

My publicized MODs aren't exacly for advanced users. Althought, I'd rather say that these additions are rather for users who are familiar with the standard functionality of Zen-Cart. :wink2:

Bin there done that as I have done many template overides with success to my site but yours is more of a challenge. Just thought I would let you that I know I am not the first or will I be the last to have a tangle with this one. just think more specific instructions would be a big benefit.:D

No more challenging than following my uncommented title (// Additional contact us fields) from the beginning to the end block. A simple comparison should suffice in order to integrate (or when integrating new fields). It's as simple as counting 1-2-3. If you're not going to be the last one, then I guess future users will also miss this part of reading from my example.

I am using Zen 1.2.6d
Do you think I can use this module?
If not, is anyone aware of a module "Add more fields to ContactUs" for this version.

No. This MOD has been coded and tested under Zen-Cart v1.3x.

Additionally from above, the installation text also clearly states the Zen-Cart version compatibility for this MOD:

Hi TheOrical,

What seems to be the problem here? I would love to be able to add this mod to my many Zen Cart pages on the "Contact Us" page. Is it still available for download or can someone elighten me on how I can add extra fields.

Thanks

Hey Jaden if you want to add extra fields to the contact us page your best bet is to got to;

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=13289

This was done by Ryk some time ago and it works with even the latest version which I have. It has simple easy to follow instruction with every detail. I think its the best for new zenners.

Thanks kp14, exactly what I was after.

So what happened to this mod?
Why did TheOracle remove it?
Did it not work?
If it did work, can someone else supply a link to it?
Did it support 'non-required' fields?

Questions - Questions ......

I could really use some extra field in the contact form. I've tried Ryk's suggestion on how to do it, but that doesn't support the non-required fields.

Please note that it does not appear that this is an easy mod to install or use.

Thanks for the reply Kim, but that link is for 'Additional Customer Fields'. I want 'Additional Contact Form Fields'.

is there a way to make the drop menu in the contact us from this page on zen cart contact page.

I have done the steps from theorcale and from ryk. I think Ryk for contact us addition was better. But now i need to know how to make a drop down menu for state. I have actually got the country by copying and pasting from the registration page code. but when i tried to do the same with the city it doesnt work. so right now i only got the country down. so any help would be appreciated thank you.
