[vQmod] A Better Contact Form 1.5.x

yiyinlah wrote: How do I make it such that when the email gets sent, the subject title is:

Enquiry: (Subject)

instead of "Enquiry (Subject)"?

Also, is it possible to add more fields by editing your vQmod file?
If yes, which should I follow?
The telephone field? Or subject?

Thank you so much!

Above question is unanswered yet.
Please help me if you know. Thank you very much.

Anyway, I tried copying your phone/subject format & try to create a field for myself.
The field would be name: "Order ID:" & the entry is: "orderid".

Funny thing is, i could not get it to work correctly.
When going to the contact page, I can't see the "Order ID:" field, but let's say I forget to fill in the required fields, we'll get the error message right? It's when I forget to fill in the required fields, then my "Order ID" field would show.

I sucks at php & basically, I only know how to copy & paste, I know nothing about php at all.
I've been trying to figure it out for more than 7 hours already, still no idea..

So please take a look at my website: http://bit.ly/scshc8
& see the first look, & then try not filling in the required fields, you'll be able to see what's the problem already.

I've attached the edited vQmod file which I edited so you'll be able to see for any errors which I did wrong.

Thank you very much!

I'm feeling very stressed out T__T

Hello?
Anyone able to help me on my above replies please??

Hi: I am on 1.5.1. I am interested in getting this "Better Contact Form" to work. I am seeing no difference on the screen.

I am getting the following message in my VQMOD.LOG file: " id : A Better Contact Form version : 3.0 vqmver : 2.1.4 author : http://www.opencart-extensions.co.uk SEARCH NOT FOUND (ABORTING MOD): $this->data['name'] = $this->customer->getFirstName();"

Any thoughts?

Open your vqmod XML file for this contact from, try searching the error line in your code editor, then after that, look for which file it's under, & try to fix your problem, maybe there's a little modification to your original code.

my catalog/controller/information/contact.php doesn't even have the term "FirstName" in it anywhere (this is what is failing). I am on 1.5.1. Tried to figure it out, no luck.

Is it on a fresh install?
I'm also a noob, so I can't help much.
Probably the experts can help you.

If this will be of any help, I've attached the file for my catalog/controller/information/contact.php.
I'm on 1.5.1.3, but I reckon it's the same as 1.5.1.

Do a backup, then try using my file, see if it works for you
If doesn't, use back your own file & try to fix it.

Hello,

First - great mod, helped me a lot. Also I made some small improvements. Catching only senders IP is not enough for me, so I wanted to catch url where this comments was made (because I use in addition another vqmod, which enables users to comment on concrete product), also to gather additional information about the user like time the comment was made, his user agent (if he reports some problems on the site)

Find the code attached;) It is for the .xml file

<file name="catalog/controller/information/contact.php">
<operation>
<search position="replace" offset="1"><![CDATA[$mail->setSubject(sprintf($this->language->get('email_subject'), $this->request->post['name']));]]></search>
<add><![CDATA[$mail->setSubject(sprintf($this->language->get('email_subject'), $this->request->post['subject']));
$emailmessage =
"Name: ".$this->request->post['name'].
"\nSubject: ".$this->request->post['subject'].
"\nEmail: ".$this->request->post['email'].
($this->request->post['phone']!=''?"\nTelephone: ".$this->request->post['phone']:"").
"\n\n".$this->request->post['enquiry'].
"\n\n----------------------------------------\n\nSender's IP Address: ".$_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR'].
"\n Date and time: ".date('Y-m-d H:i:s').
"\n User agent: ".$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'].
"\n Link from where came: ".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
$mail->setText(strip_tags(html_entity_decode($emailmessage, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8')));]]></add>

i want to insert the content of the new field in every ordermail! kann you help me with the script.

THX

thank you..

Hello. Thank you for the addon.

I made a little edit in the way it displays the address, so instead of the 't/p' I put in a <br /> so it displayed a empty line between the owner name and the address.

thanks simon, works great, just what i was looking for

For me it work ok in firefox and chrome but for some reson in IE he still ask for subject after you put one....weard i back to the orginal.still thanks....

Any chance for a fix for this, as its broken on 1.5.2.1

This is a great mod, so thanks in advance...

A fix for this would be wonderful as it seems to be a really useful vQmod, as an aside I would prefer to remove the address from the contact us page would that be able to be done easily?

Thanks Simon

Hi all,
Im having alot of trouble locating the Login script as im getting double of Login window and a few others they have doubled Div6 thats needs to be de;eted but cant find the Login Script ? any help much appreciated

Some nice changes although I would also suggest setting autocomplete to off on the captch input.

It can get annoying if the auto-complete covers the captcha image below it.

Using your FTP software, follow the instructions given in the original vQmod download to change folder permissions to the correct settings (755)

Also look through this thread, it will set you in good stead with the world of vQmod.

To get this to work in 1.5.2.1
replace this line (at about line 28)
with this:

Hi Simon,

Where should I paste the uksb_better_contact_form.xml file?
Please help.

Thanks
