Contact Us Enhancement
Mod Version: 1.1.0, by BirdOPrey5

25 Mar 2012 New version 1.1.0 Changes

• Shows the company email as: you [at] domain.com instead of link
• Moves the error messages just above the form to be more visible
• Fixes a bug of blank page if errors occured.
• I made transparent the image which appears in the form, for better appearance in dark backgrounds.

To upgrade:

1. Download and unzip the new version
2. Upload contactus.php at your forum directory
3. Upload the file images/misc/contactus.png to images/misc overwritting the old one.
4. Import product-contactus.xml checking overwrite.

Like my Memberlist, this hack adds more features and a better design to the poor vB Contact Us Form. In details

1. Lite version
   1. Ability to show one (or more) from the fields below in the contact us page:
      1. Company Name
      2. Address
      3. City, Zipcode
      4. State, Country
      5. Phone
      6. Fax
      7. Website
      8. Email
      9. Working hours
   2. Ability to request email verification from guest who are using the contact us form. If the user does not confirm his email in the given time, then a cronjob removes it, and you'll never be distrurbed from the spam emails.
   3. Visitor can request to get a copy of the message
   4. Ability to request from Guest to agree to your TOS before the "Submit button" appears.
   5. Ability to add a welcome intro text which appears at the top of the page.
2. Pro version
   1. No Copyright link
   2. Ability to show Google Map of your location (just below your company's details)
   3. Ability to set departments, each one with its own email address.
   4. Ability to add extra fields in the form.

Installation:

1. Download, Unzip and upload all files from the folder upload to the directory where your vB installation exist. contact.php file must be on the same level as forum.php
2. Login to your Admincp and import product-contactus.xml
3. Set the settings at Contact Us-> General settings
4. That's all. After testing it's functionality and you want to use this page instead the original one, you must goto vB Settings-> Site Name / URL / Contact Details and replace sendmessage.php with contactus.php

Copyright:

There is a small copyright link in the bottom of the page. Don't remove it please.

Thank you
