You insert your existing contact form into the template. If you are using Emporium Plus Tool Kit http://www.emporiumplus.com/1AA00223.html or the Contact Manager http://www.emporiumplus.com/1AA00059.html or any of the other methods available, you either paste their code in the template or change the name of the page to the existing form on your site. There are several pages in the CSSUI that are "blank" like that waiting for your text, e.g. privacy and shipping policies.

Ah okay thanks Bill. Seems odd to give a partial template but I also realized belatedly , not everyone uses a contact form, some just have an address and phone number.

I have your mail manager that works great in my live store. I"ll just put it in to my development store and use it.
I"m trying to cut down on modules again. Seems like they tend to be too easy to install to make a quickie fix.. and too many of them tends to make a noticeable different in my site's page loading speed. So I didn't just load them all onto my development site for my upgreade to pr8 patch 4.

By the way You make some great stuff!

Yea, there is so much you can do now without many modules. You can do most anything with a tools module so you can limit a store to just one or two modules unless you have some very specific needs. For example, if you want a contact form instead of just an address and phone number, you can use tool kit. If you want other things like ratings and reviews, also bought recommendations, mini-basket, save basket to various destinations, and dozens of other functions, you can use that same tool kit. An important fact about that module is there are no actions in the ComponentModule_Initialize function. That means you can assign the toolkit item to a page and it does not run any tasks unless you insert a token in the page template to do some task. Many other modules (built-in and 3rd party) run a bunch of code even when none of their tokens are inserted in a page template and their item is simply assigned in the items list. In some cases code in the initialize function is necessary, but often it is not.
