Contact: add new menu button to display a contact form with spam prevention

[Hein Traag]

Never mind!
Still a noob but I found it myself 

remove <br/> on line 46 (contact.php)
remove <br><br> on line 49
remove <br> on line 63

Thanks, needed that.

Nevermind... I'm blind.


I installed this plug-in and all works well.

I have one picky question. Look at any of the pages on my site. You'll see all tables in the middle are at top of page directly under "Rolla Area Photo Gallery".

Now, click on "Contact Us" link. Why is there so much white space between "Rolla Area Photo Gallery" and the form? I've looked at the html and can't see anything.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,
Steve

is your email adress ok in the coppermine config ?

[dke]

no button appears after installation, is my theme.php corrupt?

[François Keller]

what theme ?

[dke]

what theme ?

macosx slightly modified

[François Keller]

did you look the sub menu under the @ button ?

[dke]

did you look the sub menu under the @ button ?

Ohh its added under there? Then that explains why i didn't find it as i removed that button from my gallery. Any chance you would be so kind on how to modify it to add a button out in the open among with the other buttons?

Thanks!

for exemple:for displaying the contact button after the search button:
edit your codebase.php and find this function

Code Select Expand

// create button template from current sys menu template (added by Sami)
function contact_add_admin_button($href,$title,$target,$link)
{
  global $template_sys_menu, $template_sys_menu_spacer;

  $new_template=$template_sys_menu;
  $button=template_extract_block($new_template,'home');
 
   $params = array(
      '{HOME_LNK}' => $target,
      '{HOME_TITLE}' => $title,
      '{HOME_TGT}' => $href,
      'home' => $link,
   );
   $new_button="<!-- BEGIN $link -->".template_eval($button,$params)."<!-- END $link -->\n";
   template_extract_block($template_sys_menu,'home',"<!-- BEGIN home -->" . $button . "<!-- END home -->\n" .$new_button);

thanks, it worked great, however the contact form looks really bad in macosx, how can i add white texture to the grey areas? And how can i make the "gap" between "contact" and "contact form" to be removed?

Thanks.

[Hein Traag]

Adjust the colours in the coppermine stylesheet file.

Adjust the colours in the coppermine stylesheet file.

Hi,

I'm no high-end user, can you be a little bit more precise what i have to modify?

I've modified my style.css and looked for #7F7F7F which is "dark grey" but if i change this to #FFFFFF (which is white) my entire gallery looks weird, the dark line between thumbnails are removed etc. Is there a way to modify contact.php insted to suit my needs?

[François Keller]

just replace the entire code of the contact.php file with this

Thanks so much! Not to be a pain in the ass, but isn't there anyway to remove the gap between "Contact" and Contact Form, there seems to be nothing there, is it intended for something?

[dke]

Fixed my self, sorry for double post, i forgot i could modify my post.

Fixed by removing all <br> & </br> in contact.php

Thanks for this fantastic plugin!

[dudegetalife]

how do you add more words or a brief description to what appears when the user clicks the contact button?


Also, is their anyway that you can change what the menu says underneath contact whenever you are on top of it like you can with the menu buttons?

my site: www.ModBookGallery.com

version: 1.4.13 (stable)

theme: gray_satin (customized)

Form: http://www.modbookgallery.com/index.php?file=contact/contact

Problem: The menu... it didn't add the button properly. It added a second "Home" button (I already  had a home button added myself to the theme) and it didn't add any button/link to the contact form...
