Legend option for Contact Form

resolved (24 posts) (6 voices)

I am trying to create a contact form for my site. The form would start with some basic information, like the person's name, email and phone. Then there would be a title/header (or the legend tag from html) that says "Please select the days you can come in for a consultation:" and the user would select the days of the week that apply.

I can obviously add checkbox fields for the user to select, but I don't see how to add the title for that section. If I try to just type in a title it doesn't display. I don't see any contactform shortcodes in the documentation that would apply.

Is there an option I can use for this?

Hello royanger,

Let's try this,

Open up /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/lib/shortcodes/16-contact.php and on lines 111 - 115 you should see this,

if( $matches[1][$i] == 'checkbox' ) {
	$out .= '<input type="checkbox" name="' . $field_id . '" id="' . $field_id . '" class="styled' . $required_error . ( $required ? ' required' : '' ) . '"' .
	( isset( $_POST[$field_id] ) ? ' checked="checked"' : '' ) . ' value="1" />';
	$form_inputs['fields'][$field_id] = array( 'type' => $matches[1][$i], 'label' => $label, 'required' => $required );
}

On the next line add this,

if( $matches[1][$i] == 'text' ) {
	$out .= $matches[2][$i]['content'];
}

Now you can add HTML inside your shortcode like so,

[contactform email = "you@company.com"]
[name label="Name"]
[email label="Email"]
[text content = "<h4>Here is a title</h4>"]
[textarea label="Message"]
[/contactform]

I also need to add text before a field, sorry as a non-techie I´m not sure what you mean by

"Open up /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/lib/shortcodes/16-contact.php "

Please advise - I also have same issue outstanding on links not working in testimonials

many thanks

You have to open up the file in a text editor and edit it as seen in the instructions.

I recommend using Filezilla to login to your server and download the file, http://wiki.filezilla-project.org/Using. After editing you'll need to upload it back to your server to see the changes.

Here are the instructions for the latest versions,

Open up /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/lib/admin/classes/option-generator.php and on line 644 you should see this,

)

Change it to this,
```
),
array(
'name' => __( 'Custom', MYSITE_ADMIN_TEXTDOMAIN ),
'desc' => __( 'Lets you add HTML in between the form fields.', MYSITE_ADMIN_TEXTDOMAIN ),
'options' => 'html'
)
```
And around line 736 you should see this,

$out .= '<a class="submitdelete contactform_field_deletion" id="delete-1" href="#">' . __( 'Remove', MYSITE_ADMIN_TEXTDOMAIN ) . '</a>';

Right above that line add this,
```
if ( strpos( $value['options'], 'html' ) !== false ) {
$out .= '<textarea name = "sc-contactform-html-#" type = "text" value = "" class = "mysite_textfield" id = "sc-contactform-html-#"></textarea><br />';
}
```
Next open up /wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/lib/shortcodes/16-contact.php and on line 166 you should see this,

$out .= '</div>';

Above that add this,
```
if( $matches[1][$i] == 'custom') {
	$out .= $matches[2][$i]['html'];
}
```
Now you can use the shortcode generator and add html content in the contact form.

Hi Elliot,

Can this be a standard feature in the next update please?
I try to touch the core files as little as possible :-)

Yes we'll most likely be adding something like this soon.

hi there i see this post however, i just to change the wording over the captcha box. for example instead of just having 10+10 only , can i have it say 10+10=? . I totally understand that one should add the sum but i guess some people arent so perhaps adding =? should do the trick .
Thank you

Around line 91 you should see this,

$label = $num1 .' + '. $num2 . ' ';

Change it to this,

$label = $num1 .' + '. $num2 . ' = ';

If it's our contact form then it should be applied there as well.

So are you wanting to move the submit button above the captcha?

No. all i want is to add =? next to the captcha 1+1 so it becomes 1+1=?. The changes i made in
/wp-content/themes/[your_theme]/lib/shortcodes/16-contact.php. line 91 only affected the captcha wording for the shortcodes contact forms and NOT the captcha in the contact form widget .
i want to ad the =? to the captcha of the contact form widget

Drag over a text widget and use our contact form shortcode inside.

Hi Elliot,

Any idea why the captcha adjustment isn't working on my site?
I've changed the code to:
```
$label = $num1 .' + '. $num2 . ' =?';
```
But nothing happens.

I'll PM you the URL's.

Instead of starting a new thread I thought I would post my question here to keep it all together.

I need to do something similar to this request, but I need to put a title before the captcha so it looks like the following:

"title: 1 + 1 ="

I've tried editing those 2 lines and I'm doing something wrong because I keep getting errors. Any advice??

What your wanting to do is this,

$label = 'title: ' . $num1 .' + '. $num2 . ' =';
