Hi All,

This seems to be just the add on I'm looking for, but, and you knew that was coming.

As a relative newcomer to owning a website, I've always been really quite annoyed by reCaptcha becuase I never really understood what its purpose is, until reading the add on install.txt(s)

So in the past I have, quite a number of times, just quitted a contact us because i had to enter a reCaptcha code, which honestly just seemed to be a pointless irritant, my guess is if I've felt that way then so have/will others.

Is it possible to add an explanation of why the reCaptcha is necessary, say

"We've added this function to purely stop automated spam e-mailers, if you go complete the reCaptcha section, we will know that you really did want to contact us and we will deal with your enquiry as soon as is possible"

Hi,

I added the re-captcha element as an option - you dont have to add that part. One of my sites was constantly being hit by automated spam and the recaptcha stopped that in its tracks.

If you want to add an explanation open catalog/includes/languages/english/contact_us.php and change line 48 :

define('ENTRY_SECURITY_CHECK', 'Security Check:');

To read:

define('ENTRY_SECURITY_CHECK', 'Your Text Here');

Hi Heather, sorry for the delay in replying.

I got the fact that the re-captcha was optional, and did at first want to leave it out just because I was approaching it from a user (with lack of understanding) point of view, but having read further understood from the web owner point of view its defintely needed.

Thanks for your note of how to achieve a balance between the two positions

Hello,

I've installed this addon for a while already, but I completely skipped testing. Recently, I realized (thanks to a registered user replying to welcome email) that it's not working. I used it myself, and did not recieve any email despite the success page.

[oxwivi]

Update, regular contact_us.php is not working either. Better make a new thread about it.

A small modification, so that people that are not logged in can fill in their telephone number:

remove this line from  contact_us.php

echo tep_draw_hidden_field('phone',$phone);

find this code:

<tr>
				<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_EMAIL; ?></td>
			  </tr>
			  <tr>
				<td class="main"><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('email', $email, 'size="28"'); ?></td>
			  </tr>

and add under:

<tr>
				<td class="main"><div class="crosspiece95"></div><?php echo ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER; ?></td>
 </tr>
<tr>
				<td class="main"><?php echo (isset($account['customers_telephone']) ? $phone . tep_draw_hidden_field('phone',$phone) : tep_draw_input_field('phone', $phone, 'size="28"')); ?></td>
</tr>

[vourlismenos]

or if you want your customers to be able to edit their phone number (if already registered), add:

<tr>
				<td class="fieldKey"><?php echo ENTRY_TELEPHONE_NUMBER; ?></td>
</tr>
<tr>
				<td><?php echo tep_draw_input_field('phone', $phone, 'size="28"'); ?></td>
			  </tr>

Hi Heather,

Thank you very much for your addons. It is great. I modified it to send a quotation email as well.

there are some questions about the modified quote email. I had post but so far no one reply yet. I really need expert from forums that can help me as I am not familiar with PHP code at all. The past 2-3 months I learn osCommerce from zero knowledge to know finally make the website up. I can say I am very good at copy and paste the code from addons, but still far from writing code like you expert guys.

The website I have is a rental website which doesn't show the price. Customer doesn't register.
So I still keep the shopping cart, just doesn't show the price at all. And instead of buy me, I modified as QUOTE.
Once customer put every equipment they like to get quote in the quote (shopping) cart, then they click a button (instead of checkout), they go to a quote email which I refer your Enhanced Contact Us add on.

Here comes my questions:
1. How can I show the quote list (from shopping / quote cart) on the email?
2. How can I save the customer enter detail, such as name, mobile phone, address, description, other useful information...etc into database?
can you please write me a simple database example code that I then can go further google online and self-learning?

Many thanks in advance.

Hello Heater.

I have installed your contribution which works flawlessly on my OSC 2.3.3 website.
Then I had the (bad?) idea to install this: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8031
Being your nice contribution already installed, I paid attention not to modify the catalog section for contac-us and everything went smooth up until I run the configuration.sql file which returns the following error:

#1062 - Duplicate entry '1409' for key 1

Obviously, the http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8031 contribution is not working as I do not get the recaptchas anywhere where I should (create account, write reviews, etc.)...

Have you got any idea of what to do to remove the error and complete the installation?

Thanks a lot  in advance!

@Mort-lemur... Hi there!!!  Ran into a slight issue.  when doing a send test, customer is sent to the success action page, where the "heading_title" appears from the previous input page. as there is only one class "pageHeading" for both pages/actions, how could i get rid of the "heading_title on the "success" page? it could be confusing to the customer.

Thanks a bunch,

    Timmy C

@mendoh in the sql file that you are running find the value 1409 and change it to a value that is not already in use in the database.

Then the sql file will run as it should.

@surrfman not sure that I understand your question

[surrfman]

@Mort-lemur

the intial Contact Us page displays a greeting line at top of page, called out as heading_title. Once  Contact Us  has sent enquiry, customer is taken to the Contact Us success page.  The success page is defined as an action in contact_us.php.  result is the customer views identical greetings, before sending and after. Would like to delete the greeting on the success page, leave just the "sent" acknowledgement text that appears under the undesired greeting on the success page.

   Thanks,

Timmy C

@Mort-lemur

Heater!
Many thanks! To tell you the truth, I already tried replacing the 1409 value without success because I probably inserted a value that was nevertheless already occupied in the database. After reading your reply I decided to give it another try by inserting a fairly higher value (e.g. 2409 instead of 1450) and that definitely did the trick.

Thanks again for your time

I installed your contribution and works flawlessly on osc 2.3.3.
Though I was unable to change the language in the recaptcha form. Any idea about how to achieve this change?
