contact form issues

[i47]

hi there,

is it possible to get any hint, where to find code to define additional fields in the contact form correctly and to define if they are required or not?

i found contact.htm with for example
<div class="form-section">
<input type="text" size="22" class="requiredField textfield" value="" id="contactName" name="name"/>
<label for="contactName" class="textfield_label">Name *</label>
</div>

but the additional fields, if i use the syntax above, will not be send bei the sending script and i need to set some of them to "not required"...
how can I?

thx
tom

Add thenew fields in contact.htm

then go in admin/modules/oxymall/plugins/site.contact.php

( this works only for non required fields )

go to line 178 and add the new vars

$vars["new_var"] = stripslashes($_POST["new_var"]);
$vars["new_var2"] = stripslashes($_POST["new_var2"]);

Then go in admin->contact->module settings->email notifications and add this new variables in the message body {NEW_VAR} and {NEW_VAR2}

Optional

To have them saved in the database you need to add the new variables as fields to site_oxymall_plugins_contact_messages ( add 2 varchar fields new_var and new_var2 )

Then edit the following lines

		$id = $this->db->QueryInsert(
			$this->tables["plugin:contact_messages"],
			$contact = array(
				"module_id"		=> $this->tpl_module["mod_id"],
				"item_new"		=> 1,
				"item_date"		=> time(),
				"item_email"	=> $vars["email"],
				"item_name"		=> $vars["name"],
				"item_subject"	=> $vars["subject"],
				"item_message"	=> $vars["message"],
				"item_department"	=> $vars["regarding"],

				"new_var"		=> $vars["new_var"],
				"new_vars2"		=> $vars["new_var2"]
               
			)

		);

Then go in admin/modules/oxymall/plugins/forms/contact/items/

open add.xml

after <item_message type="text" title="Message"/>

add your new variables

<new_var type="text" title="New Var"/>
<new_var2 type="text" title="New Var2"/>

I hope i covered everything.
