Hi Japanchick,

I had to remove some the fields also, and ran into problems, I always use

around any code I'm planning to delete, untill I know it's working.

I found the answer by tracing the php files, from the "Contact Us" link.
In the file /include/help.php, you will see the following text:-

$fillerror = (empty($contact["firstname"]) || empty($contact["lastname"]) || empty($contact["b_address"]) || empty($contact["b_city"]) || empty($contact["b_country"]) || empty($contact["b_zipcode"]) || empty($contact["phone"]) || empty($contact["email"]) || empty($contact["subject"]) || empty($contact["body"]));

I copied the original text into notepad (just to be safe), and changed the original text, to error check only the items I required in the contact list as below:-

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

Now everything works OK, no errors being reported.

I left the original entry in this file, incase I changed my mind about all the items I deleted. The code is one continous line, so it only required one# to dissable it.


Regards,
