Using the Contact form code for other Forms

Tylor Eddy · August 27, 2011

G'day Guys,

I am attempting to create 2 duplicates of the Contact form, and its php file, to create a training request form, and also a management positions application.

I am able to create the forms, they are the easy bit. What i'm stuck on is editing the contact.php (now training.php for the new module) to show the different fields in the form, and also display it differently in the email sent out after the form is completed.

This is what i have so far, to help explain what i wish to change.

class Training extends CodonModule 
{
public function index()
{
	require_once CORE_LIB_PATH.'/recaptcha/recaptchalib.php';


	if($this->post->submit)
	{
		if(Auth::LoggedIn() == false)
		{					
			# Make sure they entered an email address
			if(trim($this->post->name) == '' 
				|| trim($this->post->email) == '')
			{
				$this->set('message', 'You must enter a name and email!');
				$this->render('core_error.tpl');
				return;

		}

		$resp = recaptcha_check_answer (Config::Get('RECAPTCHA_PRIVATE_KEY'),
			$_SERVER["REMOTE_ADDR"],
			$_POST["recaptcha_challenge_field"],
			$_POST["recaptcha_response_field"]);

		// Check the captcha thingy
		if(!$resp->is_valid)
		{
			$this->set('captcha_error', $resp->error);
			$this->set('message', 'You failed the captcha test!');
			$this->render('training_form.tpl');
			return;
		}

		if($this->post->subject == '' || trim($this->post->message) == '')
		{
			$this->set('message', 'You must enter a subject and message!');
			$this->render('core_error.tpl');
			return;
		}

		$subject = 'New message from '.$this->post->name.' - "'.$this->post->subject.'"';
		$message = DB::escape($this->post->message) . PHP_EOL . PHP_EOL;

		unset($_POST['recaptcha_challenge_field']);
		unset($_POST['recaptcha_response_field']);

		foreach($_POST as $field=>$value)
		{
			$message.="-$field = $value".PHP_EOL;
		}

		$message = nl2br($message);
		$message = utf8_encode($message);
		Util::SendEmail($this->post->recipient, $subject, $message);

		$this->render('training_sent.tpl');
		return;
	}		

	# Just a simple addition
	$rand1 = rand(1, 10);
	$rand2 = rand(1, 10);

	$this->set('rand1', $rand1);
	$this->set('rand2', $rand2);		

	$tot = $rand1 + $rand2;
	//echo "total: $tot <br />";
	SessionManager::Set('captcha_sum', $tot);

	//echo 'output of $_SESSION: <br />';
	//print_r($_SESSION);

	$this->render('training_form.tpl');
}

}

Near the center it says to display -$fields

I would like to change these fields so it displays different names for what is being presented, instead of subject & message in the email sent out. As it will confuse the staff member who gets the email

Also how can i call an extra field ?

Hopefully i've made sense here with what i've said haha

Cheers

Tylor

Currently the email looks like this:

12:30

-name = Tylor Eddy

-email = email here

-recipient = recipient email

-subject = 28.7.11

-message = 12:30

-loggedin = true

-submit = Send Message

i would like to change the fields to say

12:30

-name = Tylor Eddy

-email = email here

-recipient = recipient email

-Date = 28.7.11

-Time = 12:30

-loggedin = true

-submit = Send Message

and also get rid of the 12:30 displaying above the email

Why you are not using one contact form but with a dropdown from which the sender have to choose the subject of his mail ? and also according to the subject you can use if...else statements to send the email to different receivers

I want to be able to use seperate forms for different area's within my site, that relay different information to various people in my management team, that's why i would like to have these two different forms.

If all fails, it may actually be easier to just create two separate contact forms using a free service on the internet.

Saves a hell of a lot of work with coding and you can optimize it to your liking (i.e. drop downs etc.).

I looked into using one off the internet, I ran into trouble when it came to integrating it as a module. I've already created the forms, customised from the contact.tpl form, all that i need now is to customise the .php backend to send out the email with the new fields

Hmm I see, what I did was just get a nice looking script from the internet and instead of creating it as a module I created a page called "Contact Us" and pasted the script into that and voila

Sorry I can't really help the way you are doing it, but if you want to mak it slightly easier and try my way just let me know and I will be glad to help out.

How did you call the fields, that's where i'm having the trouble. I'd be happy to see how you've done it, especially if its easier haha

G'day Mattia,

Not sure how you are calling this on your website, is it a module ?

MBrown · August 29, 2011

Feel free to see a live demo, is this along your lines?

G'day Mattia,

Tylor Eddy · August 29, 2011

Tylor Eddy · August 30, 2011

G'day Mattia,

Just tried you code, it's using a mail application to send the form, and that's not what i want it to do, i'd prefer it to just send it out after its filled out with the information

mattia · August 30, 2011

G'day Mattia,

I also want it so

Tylor Eddy · August 30, 2011

I also want it so

I've made a break through with the code, if all goes to plan, i'll share what i did sometime tomorrow

i have a fully functional form, but i cannot for the life of me get the captcha to work, you dont even have to fill it in and the form will still send :S

mattia · August 30, 2011

ok I look forward

Tylor Eddy · August 31, 2011

G'day Guys,

A quick question, how can i set up these forms so they can only be used by members ?

That will save using a captcha.

Try this at the very top of your .tpl file

<?php
if(Auth::LoggedIn() == false)
{
  echo 'You must be logged in to view this page!';
  return;
}
?>

Cheers, works great
