Plug-in: zem_contact_reborn

Version .12 available. No code changes so no need to rush. I’ve gone through the Help text and removed any errors or ambiguities and improved the formatting. Also added some information relating to localisation. If nothing else this will be the best-documented plug-in available. :)

Stu rocks :) Thanks for managing that!

thebombsite · 2006-01-29 11:22:40

Ha haaaa. I’ll try anything once. ;)

Thanks to all involved with bringing this plugin back to life. It rocks!

I’m having a little trouble styling the output the way I’d like to. I wanted to have the zemError class items in the <ul> show up as red text, but they don’t. The input field labels do show up as bold and red as expected, but the bullets in the <ul> are black.

I’m sure it’s just some CSS syntax that I don’t have quite right. Can someone tell me what I did wrong?
<pre><code>#zemContactForm legend { color: #000; font-weight: bold; font-size: 125%;
}

.zemError, label.zemRequirederrorElement { color: #800;
}

label.zemRequirederrorElement { font-weight: bold;
}
</code></pre>

Thanks,
Phil

I have this which works:

<code>
ul.zemError {list-style-type: none; margin: 5px; padding: 2px; border: 1px #f00 solid; color:#f00; background:#fff;}

.zemRequired {font-weight:bold;}

.zemRequirederrorElement {color:#f00; font-weight:bold;}

input.zemRequirederrorElement, select.zemRequirederrorElement,textarea.zemRequirederrorElement {background:#e2e2e7;}

p.red {color: red; font-weight:bold;}

</code>

Try using “ul.zemError”. I don’t actually show the “list-style” over on my /test/ site but if I bring it back in and change “color” it does change the bullet colour as well as the text.

Thanks for the hints, but unfortunately the text in the ul when there is an error is still not getting styled by my CSS.

I tried ul.zemError and even ul.zemError, li.zemError, p.zemError with no luck. My contact page is at http://pfactor.com/contact if you want to see the actual page and CSS involved. Just hit “Send” without filling in any fields, and you should see the list of errors at the top in black, instead of red as I expected.

I’m sure I’m doing something simple wrong, but I can’t figure it out.

That’s weird! I can tell you that “li.zemError” and “p.zemError” don’t exist so there’s not much point using those but try “ul.zemError li”.

jstubbs · 2006-01-30 13:29:31

pfactor, try the CSS I posted above:

<code>ul.zemError {list-style-type: none; margin: 5px; padding: 2px; border: 1px #f00 solid; color:#f00; background:#fff;}
</code>

Yes pfactor, as the bombsite said use ul.zemerror li{color: #800;}. You have a color: #000; on an li higher up in your css that takes precedence over anything else you have tried so far. If that still doesn’t work you can do this ul.zemerror li{color: #800 !important;}.

That did the trick. Thanks so much!

Another happy user. :)

1/ Very basic problem/question…I think. I want to either change the size of that CSS box that is partially around the contact form, or remove it all together. Please tell me where exactly the code to change that is?

Also

2/ Is it possible to have a contact form and a send article link on the same page/article? If so, I can’t get mine to work. When I put the two on the same form, the contact form doesn’t display, then when I click the send article link, it opens up the contact form. What should I be doing?

Thanks.

1. In your CSS try using <code>form#zemContactForm fieldset {border: 0;}</code>. I don’t believe it can be “sized” though you could try it.

2. You probably haven’t created a separate form to be used with the “Send Article” link. It has to be a different form to the normal “Contact” form due to the special attributes required for it to work properly. This is mentioned in the Help text. Whether they clash with each other is another matter. Off-hand I can’t think why someone would want both within an article. Seems like a very odd request to me. :)

Is there any more interest in altering this plugin to optionally output HTML via an attribute?

All it would require is the following:

add an attribute called “contentType” that would accept “html” or “text”
in the case of HTML wrap the output of fields in <p> tags

Conceptually, it’s simple. I’d do it but I don’t know how.

In particular I need this so that when the “send to a friend” option is used, the article’s html doesn’t show as code. I’ve hacked it to produce HTML output, but then all the fields other than the message body run up against eachother.
