To create new fields in the 'Contact Us' form you need to:
1. Go to the 'Design' tab in the 'Select Page Type' drop-down list select 'Contact Us'.
2. Click on one of the prompts on the page (e.g. 'Message') to select the 'Contact Us Bulk Area' layout.
3. Add a new row where you want the field to display using the following code:
<tr>
<td> </td>
<td>My New Field Name:</td>
<td><input type="text" name="MyNewField" size="50" maxsize="125" value="" /></td>
</tr>
4. If the field is to be required then change the field prompt to look like:
<td><span class="actrequiredcolor">My New Field Name:</span>*</td>
5. Save and close the file.
You now need to edit the Perl script that controls the message sending.
6. Open 'Windows Explorer' and browse to C:\Program Files\Actinic v...\Sites\<site name>
7. Open 'MailForm.pl' in a text editor such as Notepad.
8. Search for: 'sub SendMailToMerchant'
9. You should see the following line:
# Receive parameters from input hash
#
my ($sEmailRecpt, $sSubject, $sTextMailBody, $sName, $sMessage, $sHTML);
10. Add in $sMyNewField, so it looks something like:
# Receive parameters from input hash
#
my ($sEmailRecpt, $sSubject, $sTextMailBody, $sName, $sMessage, $sMyNewField, $sHTML);
11. You need to create a variable for each extra field that you want to display so after :
$sSubject = $::g_InputHash{'Subject'};
add a similar line for each field, for example:
$sMyNewField = $::g_InputHash{'MyNewField'};
12. Then search for: '# Construct the mail text and send it to the merchant'
13. You need to add a line for each field after:
$sTextMailBody .= ACTINIC::GetPhrase(-1, 2373) . "\r\n" . $sMessage . "\r\n\r\n";
for example:
$sTextMailBody .= "MyNewFieldName:" . $sMyNewField . "\r\n";
14. Then directly after these new fields you should see:
my @Response = ACTINIC::SendMail($::g_sSmtpServer,
$$::g_pSetupBlob{EMAIL}, $sSubject, $sTextMailBody, $sEmailRecpt);
15. You need to add in your new variables so they are sent with the email, for example:
my @Response = ACTINIC::SendMail($::g_sSmtpServer,
$$::g_pSetupBlob{EMAIL}, $sSubject, $sTextMailBody, $sEmailRecpt, $sMyNewField);
16. If you want to make your new field to be required then you need to search for:
if ($sEmailRecpt eq "")
{
$sError .= ACTINIC::GetRequiredMessage(-1, 2371);
}
17. Copy this code and paste it directly after it and change the relevant parts, i.e.:
if ($sMyNewField eq "")
{
$sError .= "<b>'My New Field'</b> is required<br>";
}
18. Save and close the file and update your site.
