How to create a Contact us form in the Shadows Template

[Matt Zimmermann]

I would recommend trying to concatenate the title into the mail message and still use the v9_SendEmail function:

<mvt:assign name="l.mail:message" value="'Message from: ' $ g.contactName $ g.eol $ g.eol $ 'Title: ' $ g.title $ g.eol $ g.eol $ 'Email Address: ' $ g.contactEmail $ g.eol $ g.eol $ 'Message:' $ g.eol $ g.contactMessage" />

That did the trick: a separate contact form running on another page with a custom field with the data value in the notification email. Thanks so much for your time and help!
Now I just need to build out the custom fields and code them into the form and processing page.

If you are going to implement a contact us form, consider implementing some type of CAPTCHA such as Google reCAPTCHA to significantly reduce the amount SPAM, especially when leveraged with strong eMail client Inbox rules.

Do you have a CTUS form that uses reCAPTCHA? I have encountered one that has the code for reCAPTCHA in the CTUS template but it looks like something has not been set up correctly because the form can be submitted with checking the reCAPTCHA checkbox.

Can you give any guidance on properly adding values to the value="SendEmail() in action? Or if there's any documentation for adding in new fields to the notification emails?

I need to add 6 additional fields to the CTUS form that I have been able to add to a ReadyTheme other than Shadows. A how-to doc for this would really make it easy to move away from the EmporiumPlus Contact Manager.

Hi Leslie,

Beyond looking into the LSK for more information on the v9_SendEmail function, this is the best I can recommend for now.

Ahhh, so this isn't quite ready to replace the EmporiumPlus Contact Manager multi-field contact form ability?

Hi Leslie,

There shouldn't be a reason why you can't have multiple fields in in your form, you will just have to modify the send function.

Hmmm, okay... I "think" I understand. Sounds like it may get messy...

Thanks Matt - I was able to get past that part with only a few "errors". What about the meta http-equiv="refresh" URL?

Hi Leslie,

If you are referring to the refresh in case of error, you would need to add any fields you want to have refilled into the URL string.
