How to change contact us form?

Hello,

I want to change the "contact us" form.

I want to change the field department and put there something else in the drop down box! How can I change this? I allready looked at contactus.tpl.
I changed the words there but it didn't work!

Where is the form sent after you enter submit button?

look in contactus.tpl and change this bit

Code:

<tr valign=middle>

<td class=FormButton>{$lng.lbl_department}</td>

<td><font class=Star>*</font></td>

<td nowrap>

<select name=department>

<option value="All" selected>{$lng.lbl_all}</option>

<option value="Partners">{$lng.lbl_partners}</option>

<option value="Marketing / publicity">{$lng.lbl_marketing_publicity}</option>

<option value="Webdesign">{$lng.lbl_web_design}</option>

<option value="Sales">{$lng.lbl_sales}</option>

</select>

</td>

</tr>

Hi Shan,
it is posible to eliminate some fields in the contac us without affecting the site? There are some that are silly to ask to a customer, like about their web site, or address.

you can make those fields "hidden" fields instead.

Is a really good idea. How do I do that? Will the tables take the space?

I'd like to have a little help also with making changes to the contactus form.

I think also it is just too many fields for someone to fill out. I understand the postabout making them hidden, but several of the ones I want hidden are currently set as required. Will making them hidden still work if they are required fields?

Thank you for your assistance.

Thanks.

I'll look there also. I did make one hidden that is required, and it was a "no go"

So now I'm off to check the help.php on the required part.

Thanks again. I may be back though. *S*

To make it hidden, do you have to use a html tag or do you have to use the smarty tag {* ?

Thanks Shan. That did the trick.

Can you tell in quick terms the difference between the contactus.tpl and contactusmaster.tpl. So far I have only eleminated those fields in the contactus.tpl file. Do I need to do both?

Thanks,
Nancy
