Could you post how you disable the required fields in the /include/help.php
Thanks

Well it was a lucky guess on my part for some of it, but if you open the file you will see a section referring to $fillerror

That section shows which fields are required, so I carefully deleted the section that I didn't want.

(empty($contact["firstname"]) || is the part you need to delete. what I just pasted is an example, because I actually left first name. But the others, referring to country or address or phone I deleted. be very careful you don't take out any necessary part. I did them only one at a time.

Then I went to the contactus.tpl file and found the sections referring to the form fields I didn't want. I selected the entire table row holding that information for each section and deleted.

I started with the zip code first - it seemed easy to find and then I tested the form to be sure it would submit.

After that was successful, I just did the rest of the fields one at a time and tested. First the section in the help.php file, then the tpl file, then test. Repeat those steps.

Hope this helps.

Thanks, that worked fine. I'll change my other sites, I wanted to do this for a while.

following on from the above (in a bizarre kind of way), is there anyway I can add an extra field into the contact us page that will get mailed to the admins??

for example I could do with another non requried field that is order number - so that if a customer has a query about their order they can add in the order number to the form (ok they could use the subject or content but I could do with a seperate box)
