How to edit the Contact Us form
 

On the Contact Us form there is a section that is labelled Departments with some choices to input ( these are complusory fileds) I need to get rid of them or be able to change them to something more suitable for my web site,

I have looked at the contact us form under general seetings but this departments section does not show up there to be deselected and hidden ???

Does anyone know a way around this or how to edit it?
:?:
Thanx

Yea, that one is annoying. You actually have to go into the help/contactus.tpl and remove it manually.

Thanx Padraic

Have got rid of it now, looks much better without that confusing compulsory department field :D

kirsten or balinor, which part of the code do you take out?

IБ─≥ve had no luck at it!

From memory I think this is what I commented out in the help/contactus.tpl ( it is almost at the bottom of the coding)
Make sure you keep a copy of your original code just in case but I think that should take out the department stuff

<TR valign="middle">
<TD class="FormButton">{$lng.lbl_department}</TD>
<TD><FONT class="Star">*</FONT></TD>
<TD nowrap>
<SELECT id="department" name="department">
<OPTION value="All" selected>{$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>

Thanks, that helped me too. :D

No worries it is always nice when someone takes the time and helps another on here

Thanks Kirsten, that did the trick!

:D

Not sure if this is the only post on this matter, but I think that this is one for Shan's list of things asked a million times.

Just an addition though, if you want to remove the fields totally, so that when you (or your client if you are setting this up for someone else) receives the email, there are no blank fields where department is, or anything else you have removed, eg. fax, or website:

edit: skin1/mail/html_help_contactus.tpl

and remove the rows corresponding to what you have removed in the help template.
