    Hi! I’m using this and it works great. What I wanted to know is how do I add “Website” to the contact form? I want to add something like this:

    <label for=’website’>Website:</label>
    <input type=’text’ id=’XXXXX’ name=’XXXXX’ tabindex=’1003′ />

    But don’t know what to put in for the X’s. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!
    Best,

    Try:
    <input type='text' id='website' name='website' tabindex='1003' />

    You’ll then need to update the smcf_data.php file. Below:
    $message = isset($_REQUEST['message']) ? $_REQUEST['message'] : '';

    Add:
    $website = isset($_REQUEST['website ']) ? $_REQUEST['website '] : '';

    Change the sendEmail call to:
    sendEmail($name, $email, $message, $website);

    Change the sendEmail function to look like:
    function sendEmail($name, $email, $message, $website) {

    Then, below:
    $body .= "Message: $message";

    Add:
    $body .= "Website: " . filter($website) . "\n\n";

    In smcf.css, below:
    #contactModalContainer input#email,

    Add:
    #contactModalContainer input#website,

    And adjust the height in:
    #contactModalContainer .content {background-color:#333; color:#ddd; height:260px;}

    To 280px or whatever fits your needs.

    Lastly, in smcf_javascript.php, change:
    jQuery('#contactModalContainer #name, #contactModalContainer #email, #contactModalContainer #message').css({

    To:
    jQuery('#contactModalContainer #name, #contactModalContainer #email, #contactModalContainer #message, #contactModalContainer #website').css({

    That should do it ?? If not, let me know.

    Hi Emartin!

    Things are looking pretty good with this. The only thing that I haven’t been able to resolve is getting the website to show up in the e-mail message. Everything else looks and functions properly.

    Thanks for your help on this as, outside of adding some things here and there, I’m essentially PHP illiterate.

    Best,
    Eric

    UPDATE

    Ok – I got it worked out. Such simple things make all the difference. All I had to do was delete an extra space in:

    $website = isset($_REQUEST[‘website’]) ? $_REQUEST[‘website’] : ”;

    There was a space after between in here: [‘website ‘] : ”;

    It works very well. Thanks again for you help!

    In looking at what I posted above, try moving:
    $body .= "Website: " . filter($website) . "\n\n";

    Above the $body .= "Message: $message"; line, as opposed to below it.

    The other thing to try is a simple echo "Website: " . $website; in the sendEmail function. When you submit the form, if you don’t see it output to the screen, it means something is wrong.

    If that doesn’t help, let me know and I can just send you the files.

    UPDATE – just saw your update ?? Glad you got it working!
