Contact Us page....

[tghaines]

Firstly - Wow the entire forum format has changed!! I'm impressed and lost at the same time.

I'm after an ad-on for a contact-us page. I need a location where people can send me a mail that is not associated with the ordering process.

I have tried to search on this, but searching now does not seem to find things it used to ??

any tips or places to look.

There is a blank page available for EE, use this and put your own contact form in it. I would recommend nms formmail, it is a good secure script you can find it at:

However, it may be worth asking your host for their recommendation.

Thanks Kevin,

Sadly, I am the host so I need all the help I can get.

Can you help a little more?? I have loaded the formmail program, so how do I integrate into my EE site. You mentioned a blank EE page??

Sorry for the dumb questions.

Sorry - Might be worth mentioning I am on XP and using PHP / IIS and probably some other TLAs (Three letter acronyms).

Here is the thread with the info on the plain page:

Try searching the forum before posting, I had to search to find you an answer... I found it so you could have as well.

As for your XP configuration, sorry - I use a Mac.

Thanks again Kevin,

Believe me I am searching, but on this part of the forum even if I search for "blank" which I know is there I get nothing found!!. Other parts of the forum search ok. Not too sure whats going on here. Could be a bug.

Still no luck with Mail forms. I am trying to google away and find some php code, but I'm sure someone out there has a good tip for is poor XP users.

Thanks,

OK Here goes the hack version. I'm sure there is a lot of unnecessary code in here, but it works.

I changed languages/eng/headers - line 11 & 12 to

<TD align="center" style="color: #ffffff; background-color: #000000;"><?php print $left_tag; ?><a href="http://trenthaines.myphotos.cc/ContactUs.php" style="color: White; text-decoration: none; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 11px; font-weight: bold;"><span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">***</span> <span style="color: #ffcc66;">Contact Us</span> <span style=\"color: #ffffff;\">***</span></a><?php print $right_tag; ?>
</TD>

the contact page is : 111245

It's crude but it works. Make sure you setup php.ini for the correct mail setting and remember to edit ContactUs.php to add your e-mail info rather than mine.

Hope this helps and happy to take any enhancements or better options.
