zem_contact_reborn 4.0.3.20

I noticed a mention of the HTML5 placeholder attribute being included in an upcoming version of ZCR. This hasn’t already been released, has it? Would love to see that feature!

MattD · 2012-04-25 15:53:37

I don’t think it has, I’ve added placeholders via jQuery in the mean time.

$('label.zemText, label.zemTextarea').remove();
$('#Name').attr('placeholder','Name');
$('#email').attr('placeholder','E-Mail');
$('#message').attr('placeholder','Message');

@Alannie: yes [1], yes [1] and no.
[1] not features built into the plugin.

I have a heavenly modified version of ZCR, with support for a lot of HTML5 attributes. If someone is interested, I can pack it up. As I suppose a newer version of the plugin will come with TXP 4.5, I’m not going to finish it. But for the meantime it works fine for me.

Thanks, MattD, Ruud, and Axel. Here’s where I am:

Placeholder attribute: I’ll definitely look into this for future projects. For this particular project, the work required is a bit outside scope, so I’ve set it aside for now.

Multiple emails: I found that as long as I list the main email field (the one I want to be the “From” address) last in the form, I can add alternate email fields prior to it and they will come through in the submitted results.

Form results displaying on confirmation page: I still would like to do this, and I’m hoping it won’t require too much beyond my limited understanding of PHP. Is there a way to output the contents of the $msg array in the thanks_form I’m using?

Thanks again for your help.

Placeholder attribute…

I also have a modded version of zcr with placeholder support. Mail me if you’d like a copy.

As far as I remember, these are passed as POST variables to the thanks page, so you should be able to retrieve them with adi_gps or rah_gps and output them on the page. If you call up your form in Firefox and open up Firebug on the Net/Network pane and “All” sub-menu, then send your form, you’ll see a whole load of POST and GET requests appear in the firebug pane. Open the twister arrow next to POST #zcr… entry, then switch to the Post tab and you’ll see a list of post variable names. Try using these for adi_gps/rah_gps and then output the resulting txp variables on your page…

I’m trying to pull the contents of the contact form (on the redirect thanks page) to pump them into a database (and display).

While I can see the form contents via jakob’s idea above (albeit using Chrome’s dev. tools), I can’t seem to grab the variables!

I’ve tried adi_gps and PHP ($_REQUEST, $_GET and $_POST).

Any ideas?

Edit: FIxed.

The redirect was the issue. Used a thanks_form instead, and $_REQUEST.

Hi Guys, I hope you can help me. I have been thrown in at the deep end with a job for a client that uses TXP, which I am not familiar with. I have tried to find documentation for the related plugin and searched these forums, with no success.

We want a contact form on the contact page that has room for name, email, telephone and a dropdown selectable date.

Zem Contact Reborn plugin is already installed on TXP that is being used on the site. So my question is two-fold:

All the documentation I can find relates to installing plugins… nowhere can I find information about how to implement the plugin within an article (eg at the bottom of the contact page)….

- Firstly, How do I call the plugin into the article to show a contact form on the frontend page?
I’ve tried some <txp:contact_form_email> type tags in the article but no luck.

- How do I choose which form elements to display on the page, and also to what email address the contents of the form are subsequently sent?

Thank you very much guys!

Hi Greg and welcome,

Have a look at this page with the zem_contact_reborn docs and you can also find that information if you look in Admin > Plugins and then click “help” for the plugin you want. There’s also this txptip on email contact forms with an example.

That should show you all you need :-)

Hi there.

My Host (Media Temple) recently upgraded PHP to PHP version: 5.3.13 and now zem_contact_appears to not succesfully send emails out from contact forms. It reaches the the thank you page for filling the form out, and does not report any errors. so i think its succesfully sending, but the email never arrives in my inbox. to and from address in the contact form are unique, and exist and belong to that domain / hosting account.

Is there an issue with this version of PHP and zem_contact_reborn-4.0.3.20m

Thanks

James

[Axel] · 2012-06-07 13:35:43

I just tried it out on a server running PHP 5.3.13 with zem_contact_reborn-4.0.3.20 and it works as supposed. So something else got upgraded on you server. I suggest you contact your host and ask for support.

alanfluff · 2012-06-07 14:25:51

I’m PHP 5.3.5 and zem 4.0.3.20 on (mt) (dv server) and all still works. Good luck.

txpdevcoder · 2012-06-07 15:07:03

well thats even more intresting, thank you alanfluff. seems i cant change to 5.3.5 on the grid server. did you manually install it, as your on dedicated?

alanfluff · 2012-06-07 19:08:42

No I didn’t manually install that ver of PHP. I’m not super-smart at sys-admin stuff so I rely on the standard build for the most part and I am almost certain I’ve not upgraded my PHP myself. I used to be on gs, I’ve not been on it for over a year now and going dv took more $ and some steep learning (for me) but it’s been 100% worth it.
