'Contact' e-mail forms...

[worldofdan]

Is it possible to replace Actinic's mailto: 'Contact' link, to a link for an actual e-mail form and FormMail script?


Cheers if you can help, Dan

Hello Dan mate!!

Fancy meeting you here!!

Did I teach you nothing about Actinic OOPS.

The only way I have achieved this is by adding in my own nav at the top and deleting the graphics for the actinic nav.

In the wise words of Norman Rouxel...

Where you'll find the code depends on what template you're using. Here's a fragment from Act_Primary.html. In some themes it's in Act_Primary and others may have it in a header template (I don't know what filename).

<a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAILLINK" target="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAILTARGET">
<img name="lmenu_contactus" src="lmenu_contactus.gif" width="175" height="51" border="0" alt="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAILTEXT">

You could hard code your link in as below:-

<a href="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAILLINK" target="contactform.html">
<img name="lmenu_contactus" src="lmenu_contactus.gif" width="175" height="51" border="0" alt="NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAILTEXT"><!-- NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAILTARGET -->


The fragment "><!-- NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAILTARGET -->
is commented out to stop actinic complaining if it doesn't find an expected variable.

Thanks for your help Norman!

Hello Baz, small www!

Hi there,
I am trying to make the link on my 'contact us' button (which is actually text and not a pic), go to my brochure page of contact details.
I cannot find the maillink anywhere, do you have any idea where I could find it?
Im using the theme 'curves'

All I want to do is change the NETQUOTEVAR:NAVBMAILTARGET to a hard coded link which would send the user to my brochure page instead of opening an email client.

thanks

Simon

I've acheived this but not using email link as defined in navigation tab on the design options.

I then hard code a link within act_primary to go to a contact form page.
