CONTACT_US - Adding into to this page?

How would I add additional Information to this page? I don't see a spot to do it in contact_us.php

Here is a site that has an example of what I would like to do. I want to add information above the form for them to read before filling out the form.

you can edit that information in admin -> tools -> define pages editor (select contact_us.php from the dropdown menu)

Re: CONTACT_US - Adding into to this page?

I know where the file is to edit, but where at in that form can I add the information I need without screwing things up?

-- I just tried to add text in there, and the page errors out on what ever line I add text.

How exactly do I add things to this page?

edit the page, Zen Cart will automatically place whatever information you include above the form (just as shown in your example.)

Re: CONTACT_US - Adding into to this page?

The HTML editor doesn't work. It doesn't save anything and produces no error.

Re: CONTACT_US - Adding into to this page?

Ok I fixed some permission errors. All works fine now.

As a tip, some hosting companies don't let you CHMOD files and folders in a FTP program. I had to do it from the control panel of my site.

Re: CONTACT_US - Adding into to this page?

Somehow my Contact Us Form looks as if it has been re-sized. I've tried to attempt a fix but don't know where to start.
Any help appreciated.

Thanks, Tom

Re: CONTACT_US - Adding into to this page?

I received this reply but don't understand exactly what file to add it to. Can someone instruct me? :dontgetit

reply:
It is a problem specific to IE and I do believe this should fix the problem.

In your stylesheet add the following at the very bottom:
#reviewsWrite { width:94%; }

Thanks you,

includes/ templates/ your_own_template/ css/ stylesheet.css

Find the following declaration in the .css, but if not found just add it to the sheet.

Take out the declaration you were given

  1. #reviewsWrite { width:94%; }
    In firefox, firebug I am getting the following error:

[Exception... "Component is not available" nsresult: "0x80040111 (NS_ERROR_NOT_AVAILABLE)" location: "JS frame :: file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsSessionStore.js :: sss_saveState :: line 1753" data: no]
file:///C:/Program%20Files/Mozilla%20Firefox/components/nsSessionStore.js
Line 1753

Maybe just Ajeh, Dr. Byes, Kim, Kuroi, Ghj42, Merlinpa, Afo will view this thread for the answer...

Re: CONTACT_US - Adding into to this page?

Thank you for looking at this haredo.

If someone else (Ajeh, Dr. Byes, Kim, Kuroi, Ghj42, Merlinpa, Afo ?) would kindly look at this problem I'd be very grateful. Thank you all.

Re: CONTACT_US - Adding into to this page?

The "contact us form" on my site is out of wack. the size and position are incorrect. haredo tried to help but maybe it's a code issue.

If someone can help I'd appreciate it.

site: AcornVitamins.com
see the contact us form (I use IE)

Thanks,
ooakllc

Re: CONTACT_US - Adding into to this page?

O,
You started a new thread on the issue. Not good

A recap on the issue,
I believe it is a frame issue.

Need on the Zen Master to give a look.

O, nothing major,

But when you start a thread, and I replied with a solution. It is always good practice to use the same thread so others trying to figure the problem can read what others have tried, which saves major time..

We need one of the Zen Masters to view this thread..

Re: CONTACT_US - Adding into to this page?

Thank you. I'll follow that protocol in the future.

I have PM'd to a person on your suggested list and I'm awaiting a reply.
Thanks again,
