Editing the "contact us" form
 

Hi,
The "contact us" form has a lot of required entries that I don't need to be filled in. (Like physical address ans thngs like that.) How do I edit the form so that these things are not required. (And how do I remove the * next to the non-required stuff?
Thanks

Search in the forums, this have been post it before

Thats in the /skin1/help/contactus.tpl file.

Just edit it manually to erase all lines you dont need to be required ( <font class=Star>&lt;&lt;</font> ).

REmember to also check out the error engine lines.

Thanks for the "nice" reply. I did search in the forums. Please, tell me, what phrase would you have searched for to find what I was looking for? I couldn't find it.

Thanks for the much more helpful reply. I will work on it tomorrow.
Thanks again for the help.

you also have to make sure you look at help.php (i think) to edit the required fields array

My apologies, I didnБ─≥t mean to be rude.
I like helping people but also I we like to see more of us in the forum, doing more research.

Again my apologies.

here are some of the past post;

Good Luck

Thank you,
I will read the posts you posted. I searched with many phrases ("contact form" for one ) but the results often are not what I need.
Thanks again,
Carlos

Thank you BMA :)

I used this to successfully alter my form too. I had deleted the fields but wasn't aware of the help file needing to be updated as well.

You welcome
