[tisoy]

I know this topic has been discussed before and I've read it a few days but I couldn't find it now. I spent almost half an hour but still no luck. :(

any help are much appreciated. thanks! :)

I think you are talking about sending email to administrator

*** open contacts.php ***

*** find the following code ***
if (!$error)
{
$gDirDb->addContact(addslashes($fullname), addslashes($email), addslashes($body));
$msg = " {$gDirLang['contact_added']}";
}


*** change it to the following ***
if (!$error)
{
mail($gDirConfig['site_email'], 'new contact', 'new contact on your site', "From: {$gDirConfig['site_email']}\r\n"."Reply-To: {$gDirConfig['site_email']}\r\n");
$gDirDb->addContact(addslashes($fullname), addslashes($email), addslashes($body));
$msg = " {$gDirLang['contact_added']}";
}


*** save changes ***

I realize this is an old thread, still, thanks for pointing out a solution Simon.

I am curious as to why the Contact Us messages are only accessible through the web in the first place? What was the rationale to store the contacts in the admin CP instead of sending them out as email to the admin?

Perhaps it would be possible to add an option that doesn't require code changes when someone would like to receive an email notification, or the actual Contact Us content in an email.

Don't get me wrong, the notification beats not having it, but I would prefer if the script would just send an email to the admin instead of storing the contact request in the admin cp.

Yeah I think it's a great idea and save time when we reply to sender message's

Hello Rodman,
Please try it:
***Open contact.php and find code***

if (!$error)
{
$_SESSION['pass'] = '';
loadClass("DirContact");
$Contact = &new Contact;

$Contact->connect();

$data = array(
"fullname"=> sql($fullname),
"email" => sql($email),
"reason" => sql($body),
"ip" => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
);
$Contact->insert($data,array("date"=>"NOW()"));
$msg = $gDirLang['contact_added'];
}

***Replace with***

if (!$error)
{
$_SESSION['pass'] = '';
loadClass("DirContact");
$Contact = &new Contact;

$Contact->connect();

$data = array(
"fullname"=> sql($fullname),
"email" => sql($email),
"reason" => sql($body),
"ip" => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
);
mail($config->get('site_email'), 'new contact', 'new contact on your site', "From: ".$config->get('site_email')."\r\n"."Reply-To: ".$config->get('site_email')."\r\n");
$Contact->insert($data,array("date"=>"NOW()"));
$msg = $gDirLang['contact_added'];
}

***Save changes***

Hello,
Is there some chance, how to send all message on the mail? This modification which you are write send me on my mail only notification about new message. Can you write me modification which send all message on my email?

Regards Rodman

[Dave Baker]

Use this code:

if (!$error)
{
$_SESSION['pass'] = '';
loadClass("DirContact");
$Contact = &new Contact;

$Contact->connect();

$data = array(
"fullname"=> sql($fullname),
"email" => sql($email),
"reason" => sql($body),
"ip" => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
);
mail($config->get('site_email'), 'new contact', $body, "From: ".$config->get('site_email')."\r\n"."Reply-To: ".$config->get('site_email')."\r\n");
$Contact->insert($data,array("date"=>"NOW()"));
$msg = $gDirLang['contact_added'];
}

[Daniel Svanda]

OK, it looks much better, but in message in part "From:" is not mail of sender, but my mail... So, I can not reply on message and must login to administration, becouse if I want reply I need see email of submiter. If there some chance to corect this?
Regards Daniel

[Dave Baker]

Daniel, please check this code:

if (!$error)
{
$_SESSION['pass'] = '';
loadClass("DirContact");
$Contact = &new Contact;

$Contact->connect();

$data = array(
"fullname"=> sql($fullname),
"email" => sql($email),
"reason" => sql($body),
"ip" => $_SERVER['REMOTE_ADDR']
);
mail($config->get('site_email'), 'new contact', $body, "From: ".$fullname." <".$email.">\r\n"."Reply-To: ".$config->get('site_email')."\r\n");
$Contact->insert($data,array("date"=>"NOW()"));
$msg = $gDirLang['contact_added'];
}
