Can I edit my "Contact Us" page to add in a special message?

[kdogg]

Like the topic asks, I would like to edit my "Contact Us" page to include a special message asking our customer not to bother contacting us via AOL email as we have boycotted AOL users and will not reply to emails sent via AOL.COM email accounts and to request that they email us with another email service.

 

What would I need to edit this? I'm looking to insert it right below the big words Contact Us when you click and go to the "Contact Us" page.

 

Something like "ATTENTION AOL USERS! Blah blah blah etc etc etc."

 

Thanks guys :)

if you're only using the default form (contact_us.php) to get email from users, then it doens't matter what email address they have to send you an email through the form.

 

If you want to add some text to this form, then define the the text inside :

/include/languages/contact_us.php

and insert it whereever you like inside :

contact_us.php

Well, I don't really care what email address they put in. I understand they can put in whatever they want. Problem is, when I myself try to reply to customers who use AOL, I get blocked and the emails are returned.

 

I just want to let my customers know that we will no longer go out of our way to reply to AOL users and that they need to use an alternative email address.

 

AOL blocked us saying we spam which we NEVER have. The more I argue with them, the more I figured out it was more of an issue with them not liking the products we sell then anything.

 

Thanks, I'll edit that area :)

Can you tell me what I have to add to make it appear?

 

I tried adding in something like:

 

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Testing');

 

but it didnt show up. I dont really know how to edit this cart yet. I'm still learning.

define('TEXT_MAIN', 'Testing');

 

don't use TEXT_MAIN - it's already being used elsewhere.

 

open /include/languages/contact_us.php

and type in :

define('CONTACT_US_DISCLAIMER', 'Did you know AOL sucks?');

 

then open : /contact_us.php

 

and search for this :

			  <tr>
			<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_NAME; ?></td>
		  </tr>

 

and replace with this :

			  <tr>
			<td class="main"><?php echo CONTACT_US_DISCLAIMER; ?></td>
		  </tr>			  <tr>
			<td class="main"><?php echo ENTRY_NAME; ?></td>
		  </tr>

I'm sorry, I guess I wasn't clear. Thats my fault.

 

This problem has nothing to do with my OS Commerce site. I mean yes those emails, noticed etc get blocked too but not because of this header issue. I can open Microsoft Outlook Express, write an email an AOL user and when i send it, its kicked right back to me. Says because we spam which is BS, we never spam people. Only people who we email are people who email us or sigh up for the news letter.

 

The more and more I dug into getting this fixed, AOL indicated they wont fix the problem because of the products we sell. They hardly will return my emails even.

 

How OS Commerce comes in was I wanted to put a notice on our Contact Us page alerting customers if they send emails via AOL, we won't be able to reply. I'm sick of logging into Gmail to reply to them.
