Hi,

From the footer link, how would I have Contact Us go to the actual webpage rather than generate a popup?

Stripe requires that I include additional contact information to the Contact page to conform to their requirements. I did this via the page editor, but the changes do now affect the popup form.

Alternatively, is there a way to add content to the popup form? That might work even better, but either solution will do.

I managed to resolve this. If anyone else needs to do somethign similar, this is what I did.

ACP > Customization > Themes > 'Theme Designer: Templates' (dropdown for the theme where you need to edit the menu) > create new template

Type: Hook

Hook Application: System

System: front/global/footer

Hook type: I selected 'before the closing tag'

HTML: <li><a target="_blank" href="https://xxxxxx.xxx/contact/">Contact Us</a></li>

Edit the the web page address and text to suit in the above

Add CSS to hide the original 'Contact Us'...

/* Hide fooeter 'Contact Us' popup link - replaced with link to web page */
.ipsFooterLinks > li:nth-child(3) {
  display: none;
}

You might need to change nth-child to another value. If you open Inspector, right click the opeing <li> item you wish to hide, scroll to Copy and select 'CSS Selector' (this was in Firefox - I think it varies a little between browsers).

I think that's it.

If you want the Contact Us link to go to a URL of your choosing, you would select that in the settings:

Thanks, @Jim M. I somehow managed to miss that. Thank you.

Thank you, I found this to be very useful as I use Adriano's Contact Us app, and now knowing this, I can point people to that app's page instead of a separate one (which tends to attract a lot more spam emails).

Useful to know, so thanks @Jim M.

This does not work for me, @Jim M. It appears to disable the Contact Us page and I get an error. Presumably, this option is intended for a bespoke Contact page or third-party system. But my method seems to be working as I had intended.

It is indeed intended to link to another page, so you'd have to add something in there to use this function

Is it possible to embed the Contact Us page?

There isnt anything built in to let you achieve that

Hi @Square Wheels

Earlier in this topic, I described how I removed the popup link and added a new link to the actual Contact webpage. But I have since used the page editor to flesh out the Contact page using the WYSIWYG widget. If you use widgets to build pages anyway, this approach probably delivers what you seek. Works well enough for me. I added a WYSIWYG information block before Contact Us form.

Thanks, I like the added features the Contact Us form has though, like adding in name and email and Captcha if you are not logged in.

I am working on a site for a club I belong to and they currently have their email listed in many places. I want to remove that and add a redirect to the Contact Us form.

Many of the people who will be using this site are not computer savvy. I talked with one of the board members yesterday, there are still lots of people who show up at the office and pay their dues with cash.

Hi @Square Wheels

That still displays for guests. It uses email verification. I have not tested Captcha because I use CleanTalk's AntiSpam app. But I have no reason to suppose it is not employed.

Yeah. It is an easy way to reduce spam and it allow for additional information to be displayed (and/or collected) too.

Heh. I do not have that problem. Well, our members are often not very computer savvy, but at least they do not show up at the door! 🙂 Of course you will wish to keep it simple.

I'll send you a PM with a link to my website and you can try out the Contact link and form. Nothing fancy - but it works. And except for what I detailed above, it uses out-the-box IC.

Thanks, I like the idea of it using IPS tools.

I'll be hosting this site on my license, so this is already costing me a lot.
