Actinic V7 Contact Us Form

[randy1]

Hi,
I'm using the contact us form in Actinic v7. It gives me this error when I send.

"Authentication turned on in your email client" I'm using an email that is connected to the URL.

Can I use the client's own email?

Is it easy to change the link to point towards my own inquiry form.

Here is the URL of the form.

Thanks
Randy

Hi Randy

With Actinic, you need to use the hosting company SMTP server and also the email address they have supplied to you. Using anything else will be a hit and miss. Either it may work, or will not.

Kind Regards

Re: Contact Form

Hi Nadeem,
Thanks for your reply. Can I just change the contact link to my own form? This would solve the problem.

Regards,
Randy

Sorry,
How would I do that?

Thanks

Change the mail link NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAILLINK in Act_Primary.html and save the file with a different name (the same as you named the link) then use this to put your form code into. Add this file to additional files.

You will need to create a "Thank You" page as well.

RE: Contact Form

Hi,
I can't find this code "NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAILLINK in Act_Primary.html" Where else would it be? I'm using clean layout 004. I checked the header & footer unless I'm missing it.

Thanks
Randy

Hi Randy,

It looks like the variable is not there, so just go to "Design | Option | Navigation". Here remove all reference to "Send Mail" (Text and Image). Now the Email link will not appear in the navigation. Now simply edit your "Act_Primary.html" and find "NETQUOTEVAR:FOOTERGUIDE". Simply add in your own email link after the this variable.

Kind Regards

Hi Nadeem,
That worked! I inserted this code

<a href="mailto:sales@original-paintings-artwork.-----com">

<script type=text/javascript>
var _u = "sales";
var _d = "original-paintings-artwork.com";
var _l = _u + "@" + _d;
var _m = "click to email us";
document.write("<a href='mailto:"+_l+"'>"+_m+"</a>");
</script>

Is there away to get it to sit right on the nav bar, it is leaving a space.

Thanks again!
