Showcase with prices - contact us

I have set my store to 'Store Status - 2 - Showcase with prices' and instead of the price, a 'contact us' link is shown.
Clicking the link takes you to the contact us page.
This is exactly as I want it ... but ... is there any way of passing any of the product information (Product name or ID) to the contact form?

Or can anyone suggest another way to do this?

Thanks in advance.

Nobody at all have an answer of any kind on this one?

The Showcase with Prices is two fold ...

1 you can see prices if you put them in

2 all add to cart and buy now buttons revert to links for Contact Us

You would need to customize it further to get the product info into the Contact Us ...

Yes, I understand that.

I know I have to mod the code somehow, (possibly this from tpl_product_info_display.php)

<div id="cartAdd"><div class="cart_display">
    <?php
      echo $display_qty;
      echo $display_button;
            ?></div>

But I am not sure what.

In normal html you would add this to an email link, for example:

mailto:[email protected]?subject=This is The Subject

What I need to do is combine the 2 somehow to have something like:

<div id="cartAdd"><div class="cart_display">
<a href="http://mysite.com/contact_us?subject=prod_id">Contact Us</a></div>

You might be able to use the Ask a Question mod, and then switch the product type from Product-General to Document-General to get rid of the add to cart bit. Check my site to see how Ask a Question works.

Steven, might be a viable option.
What do you get at your end after the form is submitted?

The email received is much the same as the normal contact form except the product name and URL are included.

ooo! It worked!

:smile:

Needs tweaking to match but I also had to exclude it from Simple SEO URLs as the link was pointing to /ask-a-question/% - once the file was added to the 'ignore' list it worked fine.

Thanks for that.
