X-Cart forums - Add dropdown to Contact Us

No worries, I understand that :D I can't guarantee this will work because I haven't done it, but it should. Just backup first of course.

Open up /skin1/help/contactus.tpl

Use code similar to this, substituting language, etc. and place it where in the html you want it to appear.

Code:

<tr valign=middle>

<td class=FormButton>What option best describes you?:</td>

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

<td nowrap>

<select name=describeself class="form">

<option value=""{if $userinfo.describeself eq "" AND $describeself eq ""} selected{/if}>Please Select an Option</option>

<option{if $userinfo.describeself eq "Option A"} selected{/if}>Option A</option>

<option{if $userinfo.describeself eq "Option B"} selected{/if}>Option B</option>

<option{if $userinfo.describeself eq "Option C"} selected{/if}>Option C</option>

</select>

{if $fillerror ne "" and $userinfo.describeself eq ""}<font class=Star>&lt;&lt;</font>{/if}

</td>

</tr>

Only include these 2 lines if you want it mandatory:

Code:

<font class=Star>*</font>



{if $fillerror ne "" and $userinfo.describeself eq ""}<font class=Star>&lt;&lt;</font>{/if}

If you want it mandatory open include/help.php and find:

Code:

$fillerror = (empty($contact["firstname"]) || empty($contact["lastname"]) || empty($contact["email"]) || empty($contact["subject"]) || empty($contact["body"]));

And replace with:

Code:

$fillerror = (empty($contact["firstname"]) || empty($contact["lastname"]) || empty($contact["email"]) || empty($contact["subject"]) || empty($contact["body"]) || empty($contact["describeself"]));

Open /skin1/mail/help_contactus.tpl

Where you want the info to appear put (create language variables if you want):

Described self as: {$contact.describeself}
