Modifying a copy of the Contact Us form

[cornishpirate]

I'm working on a solution to enable the customer to request an email when an out of stock product is back in stock.

To achieve this, I made a copy of the "Contact Us Bulk Area" layout, altered it to suit and used it at the bottom of the Product page within an 'out of stock' condition.

Seems to work OK, but a couple of questions:

1. Am I able to use a copy of the Perl mail script to further tailor what happens? I don't want to alter the standard Contact Us routines.

2. The MailFormEmailValue doesn't pick up any Remembered email address from last Check Out but produces "NETQUOTEVAR:NAMEVALUE". The standard Contact Us page gets it right, however. What should I do to fix this?

Netquotevar's are a V7 offshoot. Try reverting the layout in Design Library.

I've only ever used V8, so that's a mystery.

The real issue remains how to pick up any saved email address in the same way that the Contact Us form does.
