The contact form requires three files, which are distributed in the emerchant directory.
| · | mailform.php (This is the program script. It is not editable.)
|
| · | mailformtemplate.html (This file defines the page layout and form fields. Edit this file.)
|
| · | thankyou.html (This file defines the confirmation page, after mailform.php is submitted. Edit this file.)
|
The contact form files will work in the emerchant directory or within any directory that is at the same relative level as the emerchant directory. An unlimited number of custom contact forms may be created by copying these three files, modifying the html files as needed and uploading the files to separate subdirectories within the directory where AShop Deluxe is installed.
To set up a contact form, edit the mailformtemplate.html and thankyou.html files in an HTML editor. Copy and edit the example mailformtemplate.html, which is provided in the emerchant directory. Add or delete fields as needed, but do NOT delete any of the following required fields or the %errormessage% and %securityimage% tokens. The fields may be hidden, but a value must be set for each of the following form fields.
| · | firstname
|
| · | lastname
|
| · | email
|
| · | confirmemail
|
| · | subject
|
| · | message
|
| · | securitycheck
|
Tokens are used to set the value of each text field in the form. A token is the name of the field bracketed with percentage characters. For example, the text field with name="firstname" also has the parameter value="%firstname%". Each text field should have a value such as this, which corresponds with the field name. The tokens are used by mailform.php to repopulate the fields if there is a validation error and the page must be reloaded.
