Ecommerce developers with Magento

I got it!

I have edited “public function send()” function in the file “app/code/core/Mage/Sendfriend/model/Sendfriend.php”

In this file I added the following code line

//Customization: following line is used to add the bcc, with every mail //which is sent from SendToFriend form.
$this->_emailModel->addBcc(“sales@mywebsite.com”);

below the this line

foreach($this->_emails as $key => $email) {

Now whenever anyone send mail (using send to friend form) to there recipient, each mail will also come at the BCC address. Like if user added 5 recipients then you will receive five emails at BCC address.

It works for me, hope it helps!
But @Tomislav please check this at your end that this is the right way to do this or we have some other easy way (I don’t think there is any).

Thanks,
Prashant

System> Configuration> General> Contacts

Thats the “from address” that gets put into email generated on the server. What is the email address that the contact form information gets sent to on submission?

Hi @monocat,

In the file “app/code/core/Mage/Sendfriend/model/Sendfriend.php” have only one “public function send()” function, and in that function, find “foreach($this->_emails as $key => $email) {” this line, and then add my code below the foreach statement.

It works for me!

Hi there
does anybody know how to create an entirely new contact form? I want a “request catalogue” form as well as the standard contact form. i have tried replicating it but there are so many files for the contact form it’s ridiculous.

any help is appreciated!

thanks

on my site, the action is blank and the form doesn’t work

Forgot to mention, I’m using Magento 1.2.1.

i’ve been struggling it’s been 2 days now, all i wanted to do is just create a copy of the contact us form, in which i want to change the texts then later i want to add some more fields and dropdowns…etc
i tried every little possible possibility with no success.
even the last test i’ve done, is just by adding one button to my mainmenu and in the page pointed by that button i added this line
{{block type=’core/template’ name=’contactForm’ template=’contacts/form.phtml’}}
i also tried

in its layout
the form come out well but whenever i click on send it just refreshes the page, deltes everything on it, no message is displayed on top, and the mail isn’t sent.
hope i was clear enough
any ideas or tutorials on how can i create a copy of the contact us module, or on how to fix this sending problem ?
thanks very much in advance
Regards

The contact us form works for me on some browser while on others does not work when i click the submit button it comes back to the same page no confirmation no error message and does not send an email too

I have the same problem as john and ltmayonnaise!

I have created a page called contact-us and inserted the block into the content of that page like so {{block type=’core/template’ name=’contactForm’ template=’contacts/form.phtml’}}

However, when I view the source, the action attribute on my form is blank and when I click submit button the form refreshes, deletes the form data, no messages are displayed and the mail is not sent.

I went into System/Configuration/General/Contacts and used my own email address to send to, I used custom email 2 as the sender and used a template based on the default template. Contact us is enabled.

Any one else solved this problem? I am using Magento 1.2.1.2.

I too tried the method described above, but like the comments stated here, it didn’t work (v. 1.3.1). My solution around it was to make a static block called ‘contact_static_block’, which I filled with appropriate content (store hours, directions, etc.).

Then, in order to insert this static block so that it displayed above the form, I edited the following files:

/layout/contacts.xml (add this between …)

contact_static_block

/template/contacts/form.phtml (add this to the top)
getChildHtml(‘contact_static_block’) ?>

You can probably tweak it a bit more to have a little greater control over the positioning of the static block and where it shows up, but this should suffice if you want it at the top, with the form following the static block content.

Hope this helps!

Got it to work on 1.3.1 with single quotes. Double quotes wouldn;t work for some reason.

{{block type=’core/template’ name=’contactForm’ template=’contacts/form.phtml’}}

For those of you who are using magento v.1.3.x, the situation is a little bit different. The completion of the contact form (the actual sending of the email) is not done anymore in the same core template you are picking up by using this code:

{{block type=’core/template’ name=’contactForm’ template=’contacts/form.phtml’}}

This is why you’ll have to change the form action, since posting to itself won’t work and do some modifications to the controller.

1: include the form (in the cms page) by using the same code:
{{block type=’core/template’ name=’contactForm’ template=’contacts/form.phtml’}}

2:
Do some javascript (also in your cms page) to change the action url:

elem = $(“contactForm”);
elem.writeAttribute(‘action’, ‘/contacts/index/post’);

3:
modify the controller’s redirects: app/code/core/mage/contacts/controllers/IndexController.php

Rules 108, 115 and 120 contain the locations your visitors will be redirected to after submitting their message.

Now, your emails will be send to the email adres you configured in your adminpanel (System> Configuration> General> Contacts)

I don’t know how to display the error-messages yet …
