Contact form query

[Nick C]

I've read plenty of posts explaining how to add extra fields to contact forms, but is it possible to add text to the contact form page?

At present, when clicking on the "Contact Us" button in the left menu, you are taken to the contact form, which is fine, but I'd also like to have our address and telephone number there too.

Any thoughts?

Select the design tab, select the contact us page, select the form, add your text. Job done.

PS - if you use the actinic variables for your company information, then the info will automatically change in line with anything changed in business settings.

Hi Lee, firstly thank you for your promt reply.

I'm a little unsure how to add the company info variable. I presume once I've found the relevant code, I should add it to the layout code on the contact form page in the design section? I don't mean to sound dumb and I am at present looking through the help files for more info.

Actually I think I may have it now, I see the options to insert "first line of company address" etc. in the variables. I presume this would be the correct way to do this?

<p><strong>Telephone:</strong> <actinic:variable name="Phone" /><br/>
<strong>Fax:</strong> <actinic:variable name="Fax" /></p>
<p><strong>Address:</strong><br/>
<actinic:variable name="CompanyName" /><br/>
<actinic:variable name="Address1" /><br/>
<actinic:variable name="Address2" /><br/>
<actinic:variable name="Address3" /><br/>
<actinic:variable name="Address4" /><br/>
<actinic:variable name="PostalCode" /><br/>
<actinic:variable name="Country" /></p>

Thank you Lee. Out of interest, if you have the time, suppose I wanted to have the address display on one line only to keep the form page short and sweet. I would then need a comma between each section of the address variables in order that it would display as follows.

Eg. Olivers Lighting, Bidebermill

I presume the code could be used as follows:

<p><strong>Address:</strong> <actinic:variable name="Company Name" /><strong>, </strong> <actinic:variable name="Address1" />

But should the "strong" tags around the comma be replaced with something else?

Finally, to provide a line break, should either of the following be used?

1. <P></P>
2. <br><br/>

Thanks in advance.

A <br/> is a line break, so replace those with a comma and a space. Try things, apply them and view them on the preview.

Thanks for all your help Lee, I think I've settled on a layout for the moment.
