Hi RMcGirr83,

I am hoping you can help me out. Hopefully it's not too much work.
I still have Evils Contact mod installed. I installed it last year and did some modifications to it so it would have a few extra fields but since I updated to 3.0.6 the captcha doesn't work anymore so I have tried your mod but cannot for the life of me figure out how to add extra fields that will display in a post. Can you perhaps show me how I can do this?

Here is a screen shot of what I have now. I want to do the same with your mod. Thanks

[RMcGirr83]

I have tried your mod but cannot for the life of me figure out how to add extra fields that will display in a post.

The fields are defined in the lang file, eg

Code: Select all

	'CONTACT_TEMPLATE'			=> '<strong>Name:</strong> %1$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Email Address:</strong> %2$s' . "\n" . '<strong>IP:</strong> %3$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Date:</strong> %4$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Reason:</strong> %5$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Subject:</strong> %6$s' . "\n\n" . '<strong>Has entered the following message into the contact form:</strong>' . "\n" . '%7$s',
	'CONTACT_TEMPLATE_NO_REASON'	=> '<strong>Name:</strong> %1$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Email Address:</strong> %2$s' . "\n" . '<strong>IP:</strong> %3$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Date:</strong> %4$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Subject:</strong> %5$s' . "\n\n" . '<strong>Has entered the following message into the contact form:</strong>' . "\n" . '%6$s',

which is populated via contact.php from this code

Code: Select all

		// there may not be a reason entered in the ACP...so change the template to reflect this
		if(!empty($config_contact['contact_reasons']))
		{
			$contact_message = sprintf($user->lang['CONTACT_TEMPLATE'], $user_name, $contact_data['email'], $user->ip, $date, $contact_data['contact_reason'], $contact_data['contact_subject'], $contact_message);
		}
		else
		{
			$contact_message = sprintf($user->lang['CONTACT_TEMPLATE_NO_REASON'], $user_name, $contact_data['email'], $user->ip, $date, $contact_data['contact_subject'], $contact_message);
		}

So assuming you already have the variable set, eg for "species" it would be something like this

Code: Select all

		// there may not be a reason entered in the ACP...so change the template to reflect this
		if(!empty($config_contact['contact_reasons']))
		{
			$contact_message = sprintf($user->lang['CONTACT_TEMPLATE'], $user_name, $contact_data['email'], $user->ip, $date, $contact_data['contact_reason'], $contact_data['contact_subject'], $contact_message, $contact_data['contact_species']);
		}
		else
		{
			$contact_message = sprintf($user->lang['CONTACT_TEMPLATE_NO_REASON'], $user_name, $contact_data['email'], $user->ip, $date, $contact_data['contact_subject'], $contact_message, $contact_data['contact_species']);
}

with an accompanying change to the contact.php language file

Code: Select all

	'CONTACT_TEMPLATE'			=> '<strong>Name:</strong> %1$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Email Address:</strong> %2$s' . "\n" . '<strong>IP:</strong> %3$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Date:</strong> %4$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Reason:</strong> %5$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Subject:</strong> %6$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Species:</strong> %8$s' . "\n\n" . '<strong>Has entered the following message into the contact form:</strong>' . "\n" . '%7$s',
	'CONTACT_TEMPLATE_NO_REASON'	=> '<strong>Name:</strong> %1$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Email Address:</strong> %2$s' . "\n" . '<strong>IP:</strong> %3$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Date:</strong> %4$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Subject:</strong> %5$s' . "\n" . '<strong>Species:</strong> %7$s' . "\n\n" . '<strong>Has entered the following message into the contact form:</strong>' . "\n" . '%6$s',

Hey thank you very much RMcGirr83 for breaking this all down for me. Very well explained.

I am feeling a bit dangerous now.

Hi RMcGirr83,

I have modded in my custom changes and the form seems to be submitting and displaying the output correctly but I am having a problem with the lang vars. Not sure what I am doing wrong. I was wondering if you could please help me out by telling me where I have gone wrong.

Here is what I have for contact.php:

Code: Select all

// our data array
	$contact_data = array(
		'username'			=> ($user->data['user_id'] != ANONYMOUS) ?  $user->data['username'] : utf8_normalize_nfc(request_var('username', '', true)),
		'email'				=> ($user->data['user_id'] != ANONYMOUS) ? $user->data['user_email'] : strtolower(request_var('email', '')),
		'email_confirm'		=> ($user->data['user_id'] != ANONYMOUS) ? $user->data['user_email'] : strtolower(request_var('email_confirm', '')),
		'contact_reason'	=> utf8_normalize_nfc(request_var('contact_reason', '', true)),	
		'contact_location'	=> utf8_normalize_nfc(request_var('contact_location', '', true)),
		'contact_message'	=> utf8_normalize_nfc(request_var('message', '', true)),
        'contact_date_found'	=> utf8_normalize_nfc(request_var('contact_date_found', '', true)),
        'contact_species'	=> utf8_normalize_nfc(request_var('contact_species', '', true)),		
	);

Code: Select all

$messenger->assign_vars(array(
							'ADM_USERNAME'	=> htmlspecialchars_decode($contact_users[$i]['username']),
							'SITENAME'		=> htmlspecialchars_decode($config['sitename']),
							'USER_IP'		=> $user->ip,
							'USERNAME'		=> $user_name,
							'USER_EMAIL'	=> htmlspecialchars_decode($contact_data['email']),
							'DATE'			=> $date,
							'DATE_FOUND'	=> htmlspecialchars_decode($contact_data['contact_date_found']),
							'REASON'		=> htmlspecialchars_decode($contact_data['contact_reason']),
							'SPECIES'		=> htmlspecialchars_decode($contact_data['contact_species']),
							
							'LOCATION'		=> htmlspecialchars_decode($location),
							'MESSAGE'		=> $message,
						));

Code: Select all

// output the display
$template->assign_vars(array(
	'USERNAME'			=> isset($contact_data['username']) ? $contact_data['username'] : '',
	'EMAIL'				=> isset($contact_data['email']) ? $contact_data['email'] : '',
	'EMAIL_CONFIRM' 	=> isset($contact_data['email_confirm']) ? $contact_data['email_confirm'] : '',
	'CONTACT_REASONS'	=> (!empty($config_contact['contact_reasons'])) ? contact_make_select(explode("\n", $config_contact['contact_reasons']), $contact_data['contact_reason']) : '',
	'CONTACT_LOCATION'	=> isset($contact_data['contact_subject']) ? $contact_data['contact_location'] : '',
	'CONTACT_MESSAGE'	=> isset($contact_data['contact_message']) ? $contact_data['contact_message'] : '',
	'CONTACT_DATE_FOUND'	=> isset($contact_data['contact_date_found']) ? $contact_data['contact_date_found'] : '',
	'CONTACT_SPECIES'	=> isset($contact_data['contact_species']) ? $contact_data['contact_species'] : '',

Here is what I have for the template file:

Code: Select all

<tr>
			<td class="row1" width="25%"><b class="genmed">{L_DATE_FOUND}: </b></td>
			<td class="row2" valign="middle"><input type="text" style="width: 300px" class="post" name="contact_date_found" id="contact_date_found" value="{CONTACT_DATE_FOUND}" size="30" maxlength="60" tabindex="5" /></td>
		</tr>
		
		<tr>
			<td class="row1" width="25%"><b class="genmed">{L_LOCATION}: </b></td>
			<td class="row2" valign="middle"><input type="text" style="width: 300px" class="post" name="contact_location" id="contact_location" value="{CONTACT_LOCATION}" size="30" maxlength="60" tabindex="5" /></td>
		</tr>
		
		<tr>
			<td class="row1" width="25%"><b class="genmed">{L_SPECIES}: </b></td>
			<td class="row2" valign="middle"><input type="text" style="width: 300px" class="post" name="contact_species" id="contact_species" value="{CONTACT_SPECIES}" size="30" maxlength="60" tabindex="5" /></td>
		</tr>

Please have a look at my screenshot . This will explain what I am getting at.

Thanks

Add the species and date found language vars to language/en/mods/contact.php...and your "Date found" could probably be changed into a drop down of year month day, eg...otherwise they could put in "none of your business" and it would take.

Your location language is being pulled from language/en/ucp.php which is included within the mod so that's why you don't have to add that definition.

Hi RMcGirr83!

First I want to thank you for a great mod; it is exactly what I had been looking for. I just installed it on a new/clean phpBB 3.0.6 installation and it is working great. This board will eventually be used for a gaming clan, and I want for possible recruits to fill out a form (yours) and have the form post to the recruit forum (like I said, your mod really is exactly what I was looking for).

My only problem is that I need to add several fields to the existing ones. The form will be posting to a forum (not email or PM) if that helps any. The fields are pretty generic (soldier name, game preference, etc...)

If you would be so kind as to point me in the right direction (or modify Stitch625's directions), I sure would appreciate it.

Thanks in advance!

[Stitch625]

Ahh ha!!!

I didn't know that about the definitions. Works and looks awesome! Thanks for a great improvement on this mod since the very first version and thanks for your help.

Check it out!

I may consider that dropdown.

Ensure you have uploaded all files from the download of this mod onto your forum. I can not reproduce this error.

[vonhazey]

Installed and working fine. Really sweet mod, edited the language file so it says contact us instead.

[ls24]

I installed this on my forum and works fine. Thanks RMcGirr83 for the great mod!

Thanks for the update.

I have the strangest problem...the "Can manage contact board admin settings" is showing up under the "Misc" tab of USER permissions rather than admin permissions. I installed via AutoMOD on 3.0.6. Any ideas?
