Contact Us In Left Column

Hello everybody.

 

I have been building a website that is basically used for Content Management which i have used oscommerce as it has everything you could possible need and works perfect.

 

Now the problem i have is this.

 

Instead of the contact_us form being on its own page i need it to be on the left coloumn instead. I can have the left coloumn any width i like so space is not an issue.

 

Does anybody have any ideas on how to do this.

 

Any help will be very much appreciated.

 

Thank You

 

Dean

Hey Dean,

 

I haven't tried anything like this nor am I an expert with PHP, but I'll give it an educated guess.

 

NOTE: Backup your current files before making any changes!!!

 

Open catalog\includes\column_left.php (remember - make a backup!)

 

I don't know if you are using any infoboxes or not, but try the below code where you want the contact info to display.

 

Guess 1:

<?php require(FILENAME_CONTACT_US); ?>

 

Guess 2:

<tr><td><?php include(FILENAME_CONTACT_US); ?></td></tr>

 

Now open catalog\contact_us.php (remember - make a backup!)

 

Leave this code that's at the top of the file, deleting everything else:

<?php
/*
 $Id: contact_us.php,v 1.42 2003/06/12 12:17:07 hpdl Exp $

 require('includes/application_top.php');

 require(DIR_WS_LANGUAGES . $language . '/' . FILENAME_CONTACT_US); ?>

<!doctype html public "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN">
<html <?php echo HTML_PARAMS; ?>>
<base href="<?php echo (($request_type == 'SSL') ? HTTPS_SERVER : HTTP_SERVER) . DIR_WS_CATALOG; ?>">
<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="stylesheet.css">
</head>
<body>

 

 

Delete everything below it until this (unless you're using a captcha code, leave that) :

<!-- body_text //-->

 

Delete everything below this:

<!-- body_text_eof //-->

 

But leave this at the bottom:

</body>
</html>
<?php require(DIR_WS_INCLUDES . 'application_bottom.php'); ?>

 

You might need to make adjustments to different table elements (such as width) in the contact_us.php file.

 

Like I said, I'm not positive I have the correct calls (code) but it might be a starting point. huh.gif

You are welcome Dean!

 

Just remember, I am only guessing. You might have to make some adjustments.

 

Let me know how you make out.
