Hello,
I use the Contact form in a textpage and it works well. I would like to know a few things about this.
1 - Is it possible to set more than one "owner email" to let to the contact form to send the result to 2 or 3 differents emails. I tried to set 2 emails separated with a ";" but only one has been sent. Do you have a good syntax ?
2 - Is it possible to customize the Contact Form to add other fields to it, and rename others, into "address" or "anything else" ? It would be very nice to access to this.
3 - I use Imagevue embeded into a CMS, with a flash page. So, my own Flash page, in my source call the imagevue swf, with this:
loadMovie("galerie/imagevue/imagevue2.swf?globalpath=galerie/&theme=default", galerie);
The last "galerie" is my movie clip inside my flash parent file. But I would like with one link in my Flash parent file, call directly the "contact form". So, I tried this call:
loadMovie("galerie/imagevue/imagevue2.swf?globalpath=galerie/&theme=default&folder=content/textpage/", galerie);
Using "folder=content/textpage/" in more. It doesn't work.
Any idea to let me to have this functional ?
4 - Last thing, It would be great, and may be the Contact form code is not so far, to have the possibility to customize the "Contact form" to have a Guestbook. Just in sending the entries of the Contact form to a file in place of an email. May be I'm taking about things I don't know enough but it seems it's not so different.
Thank you for all.
Have a nice day.
John Steed
Edit:
1 - Ok, sorry I saw after for the multiple owners, this is for the next release.
Waiting for the most important: 2, 3 and 4.

1 - Yes, this will be possible in next release. Syntax will be provided.johnsteed wrote:I use the Contact form in a textpage and it works well. I would like to know a few things about this.
2 - Unfortunately no, you can not customize the contents of the contact form which is hardcoded.
3 - Try using startpath=content/textpage/ instead:
Code
loadMovie("galerie/imagevue/imagevue2.swf?globalpath=galerie/&theme=default&startpath=content/textpage/", galerie); Re: About Contact Form
Argh !! It was the most important for me. May be you could tell me in which fla or php files I could look for. I'll try to add changes by myself at my own risks.mjau-mjau wrote:2 - Unfortunately no, you can not customize the contents of the contact form which is hardcoded.johnsteed wrote:I use the Contact form in a textpage and it works well.

Thanks a lot for the "startpath" code with the quesiton "3".
Have a nice day.

Re: About Contact Form
That would be editing the FLA file AND PHP files ... Not something I would recommend. Read here:johnsteed wrote:Argh !! It was the most important for me. May be you could tell me in which fla or php files I could look for. I'll try to add changes by myself at my own risks.

Re: About Contact Form
I was flash developper in the past, so may be I could have a look. But may be in a future release because I have no times now to work deeper in this.mjau-mjau wrote:That would be editing the FLA file AND PHP files ... Not something I would recommend.

By the way, I use a flash site with two languages and I would like to call two differents pages with the contact form. I know we can call different "themes" with the parameters. But I guess, the language files are not in the theme config. Anyway, is there a way to call, in the same way as theme, the language with a parameter ?
Thanks.
John Steed.
You can call languages like this:

Question concerning contact
Hello,
as far as I understood, it is not possible to change the contact formular. For me it is important to know, which picture the customer means, when he gets in touch with me.
I could live with the solotion as used in the function "send a link", because the Mail is provided with the link to the picture. But I dont want the user filling out my email adress in order to send a mail, because its to uncommen.
I tried to rename the formular sendmail.html into contact.html but this is not a solution, the link is not readable.
Does anyone have an idea how to solve this little problem?
Thanks a lot

Unfortunately, I don't think there is any quick solution to this request currently. The contact form simply sends a contact email, nothing else... and then sendlink sends a link, but requires email to be filled in.
I can create an added feature for next release if you like, where the current image/location can be noted in the contact form email ... Would this be appropriate?

Perfect
The mentioned function above would help us quite a lot!
Maybe there is an other solution? We use the function "purchase" and pass the request to a general extern form. But still one problem, how do we pass the designation of the picture to this extern form?
--- little info about our goal -----
When people found a picture in the gallery we want to give them the opportunity to send an request or order it in our Shop. But therefore it is very important for us, to get a hint, which picture is meant.
The purchase function communicates with our shop (deeplink is set), but not every picture is listed in our Shop. I was thinking, to use the purchase function and lead the request to a detailed general form, but I did not found a solution how to pass the designation of the picture. But this is necessary to identify the pic, otherwise it is impossible to give work the request and I do not want to create thousand of forms.
Thank for help, greetings from Hamburg, Germany.

Don't you just create your purchase links like this -
"path/script.php?image=folder/imagename.jpg" ...? Wouldn't that send the reference of the picture to your script?
Of course, we could simplify it by adding a generic code for [currentimage], so you could add all links like:
"path/script.php?image=[currentimage]"
...but you would still need to fill every purchase link I think ...

Thanks so far..
Sorry but I don`t understood everything...
First of all, I am aware, that I might have to work on every purchase link, even though I would like to avoid that.
What exactly do I have to do? I am not so familiar with PHP (?). It look to me, that i have to add a link to the form and then add the mentioned part?
Like this:
----------link to the form----------------|------add your suggestion---------------------
http://www.mydomain.de/form.php/path/sc ... gename.jpg
What do i have to add at the form in order to get the information?
Thanks for the help, hope I am not asking too much

Sorry, I think perhaps you have misunderstood the purchase feature ..
The "purchase" feature in imagevue X2 is not a full e-commerce solution or a shopping cart in any way. I am not sure where you get the "form" from? We do not provide any forms related to the purchase feature ..
The purchase feature is simply an outgoing link which allows you to create links that go to any of your own purchase pages. It could be paypal, or it could be some native payment page your or your developer has created ...
It is fully up to you to insert links that go to your payment processor or custom payment pages. You have all the options you need to do so by using parameters in a link. HOW you do it, depends on your payment system... we don't provide payment systems, obviously because that is way out of our scope.

.. first of all I think, I understood, how to use the purchase link. I can fill in a link, that leads to a page outside imagvuex, a paying System, or whatever.
When the article is in a shop (outside imagevuex) it works with a deeplink, that the customer gets to the article in the extnern shop solution.
My Problem: not every picture listed in imagevuex is listed in the extern Shop. But I want to give the customer the chance to write an request.
My idea: I will create an extern formular where the customer will land when the picture is not listed in the shop and he uses the purchase link.
The question: Is it possible, to give or pass the picture information (for example name or number or link..) to the extern formular, so that we can detect the picture, the customer is talking about.
I hope, I was able to explain properly, what I am searching for ?
Thanks for your patience, greetings.

Re: Sorry...
I always thought you meant this ... and, yes - Why don't you just make your purchase link with a parameter for the image name? Like ?image=path/image.jpg - Then you are passing the picture information to your "external formular" ...Girasol wrote:The question: Is it possible, to give or pass the picture information (for example name or number or link..) to the extern formular, so that we can detect the picture, the customer is talking about.
You can then use that parameter in your external script ...
