Enhance the Contact us page

[Maansy]

i edited the contact us form. i added more fields to be emailed.

after send i get this:

Code: Select all


Warning: html_entity_decode() expects at most 3 parameters, 5 given in /home/XXXXXX/public_html/demo1/catalog/controller/information/contact2.php on line 23Error: E-Mail message required!
 

expects at most 3 parameters, how can i set it to 5 or more?

5 what? It's parameters for a function

i tried this :

Code: Select all


$mail->setText(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->request->post['website'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')));
            $mail->setText(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->request->post['job'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')));
              $mail->setText(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->request->post['date'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')));
            $mail->setText(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->request->post['enquiry'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')));
 

but the only line get sent is the last one

Code: Select all


$mail->setText(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->request->post['enquiry'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')));
 

how can i let it send all 4 lines?

thanks

Code: Select all

$msg  = strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->request->post['website'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')) . "\r\n";
$msg .= strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->request->post['job'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')) . "\r\n";
$msg .= strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->request->post['date'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')) . "\r\n";
$msg .= strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->request->post['enquiry'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')) . "\r\n";

$mail->setText($msg);

I didn't say to use .= for the first one.. so don't.
The code above isn't finished. I was only correcting your example. You still need to add the rest of the mail stuff like mail->send()

i was only trying
ok, i see
here is the rest of the email stuff

Code: Select all


    if (($this->request->server['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') && $this->validate()) {
            $mail = new Mail();
            $mail->protocol = $this->config->get('config_mail_protocol');
            $mail->parameter = $this->config->get('config_mail_parameter');
            $mail->hostname = $this->config->get('config_smtp_host');
            $mail->username = $this->config->get('config_smtp_username');
            $mail->password = $this->config->get('config_smtp_password');
            $mail->port = $this->config->get('config_smtp_port');
            $mail->timeout = $this->config->get('config_smtp_timeout');                
            $mail->setTo($this->config->get('config_email'));
            $mail->setFrom($this->request->post['email']);
            $mail->setSender($this->request->post['name']);
            $mail->setSubject(sprintf($this->language->get('email_subject'), $this->request->post['name']));
            $msg = strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->request->post['website'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')) . "\r\n";
            $msg = strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->request->post['job'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')) . "\r\n";
            $msg = strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->request->post['date'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')) . "\r\n";
            $msg = strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->request->post['enquiry'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')) . "\r\n";

            $mail->setText($msg);
 

if you could take a look at the code and help correcting it, i would be so greatful

[Qphoria]

I thought i was clear

The code above isn't finished. I was only correcting your example. You still need to add the rest of the mail stuff like mail->send()

I don't see a $mail->send(); at the end

[Maansy]

yes, added now.
mail is sent fine.
but again the last line only gets sent:

Code: Select all

$msg = strip_tags(html_entity_decode($this->request->post['enquiry'], ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')) . "\r\n"; 

[Qphoria]

I don't understand why you keep changing what I write.
I said remove the .= from the FIRST $msg only. All other $msg after that have the .=

[Maansy]

sorry, i was editing the old file. i paid attention this time.
did all what you have instructed. now its working fine.
one last thing if you dont mind.
how would i get the upload file working in the form?
do you advice against it?
thanks

[Qphoria]

Take a look at the admin/controller/tool/backup.php to get a good example of how to use file upload

Make a field in the contact form for file upload

Code: Select all

<input type="file" name="upload" />


For the controller, try something like:

Code: Select all

if (is_uploaded_file($this->request->files['upload']['tmp_name'])) {
   $mail->attachment(file_get_contents($this->request->files['upload']['tmp_name']));
}


I've not tested this but it should get the ball rolling a bit.

thanks Q

[Maansy]

maybe i will wait on this one, since everyone is having fun with 1.49

[dramony]

i tried this on OC version 1.3.2 but not working.. do you have something for older versions?

[thegeekz]

HI Maansy ,

After reading through the thread.. am still confused.

I have a similar enhancement I'll like to make...

Need drop down boxes & checkboxes in the Contact us form as well:

Drop down -- Subject Line

Checkboxes -- : how do you find us?

Do I just use the zip file, that you've done and edit the codes accordingly to what I need?

Thank you.
