"Send Message" and "Get in touch" Buttons

Hello!

I have a problem with my contact form. I chose the fields I need and changed my personal info. When I fill the form and press the "send message" button, it just refreshes the site. It doesn't send the message I write.

I checked the global settings (mail settings) and the mail settings in the form and everything seems fine. I guess it is something in the button I need to change. Could you please help me?

P.S. The same goes for the button "GET IN tOUCH" at Work together. How can I link it with a second contact form where someone could upload his CV?

Hi,
Our GK Contact plugins works / should work on default joomla 'Mail Settings' settings.
If not you have to change settings in Global Configuration -> Server -> Mail Settings -> Mailer to another.
READ about it in books or web tutorials.

If you need advanced form, you have to use form builder I recommend you a few:
1) aiContactSafe (very popular & useful & FREE)
2) JSN UniForm (even free version should be okey)
3) BreezingForms (advanced)

p.s.
Did you insert your address here:
Plug-in Manager: System - GK Contact -> Mail configuration --> Receiver's e-mail

Hi - I also don't get any feedback, just page refresh. The email is sent correctly, but surely there should be some notification of success to the user, not just a refresh of the page. Can you confirm?

Cheers

David

At the top of page you should see white bar with message "Your message has been sent!"

As I said before if you are not happy with this simple plugin use another extension from JED.

The settings in the global configuration are fine (according to my hosting). In addition, "System - GK Contact -> Mail configuration --> Receiver's e-mail" is set to [email protected] (the email I want - the same mail used in the global configuration).

However, there is still a problem with the contact form. Neither the message is sent nor the confirmation message (white bar) is shown.

Any help please?

OK... I noticed that each time I sent the message a bar appeared with text about the reCAPTCHA so I disabled it (note that reCAPTCHA is configured in my joomla installation). Now the contact form works fine! I can send messages.

The confirmation message appears under the intro module which means that I have to scroll down to see it. However the time the white bar with the message appears is limited so I cannot always see it (that's why I hadn't noticed the message about reCAPTCHA).

Is there a way to change this? I like the plugin and the way the message appears. I only want to keep the confirmation message more.

Is there a way to change this?

Yes, but you have to modify/hack gk_creativity\layouts\default.php file to change position of message box.

By default is in 62-64 line

Code: Select all

<?php if(count($app->getMessageQueue())) : ?>
<jdoc:include type="message" />
<?php endif; ?>

But you can add a copy to bottom section.

OK! Great! I found it... Thank you... It was on line 98 by the way.

Now I would like to:

1) put a green background in the message, so the user can see it (see attachment)

2) either put an "x" to close the message or a time limit (eg. 5 seconds). After that I would like the message to disappear.

Is this easy to be done or is there a plugin that already does this?

It was on line 98 by the way.

It depends which Joomla version you're using that's why I added also code.

Check those and similar extensions from JED:
1) http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... otes/23093
2) http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions ... ames/19518


If not, you can try do some job by "your own":

Code: Select all

#system-message dd {
    -moz-box-sizing: border-box;
    background-color: #90C105;
    color: #fff;
    font-weight: bold;
    min-height: 30px;
    padding: 10px 0;
    text-align: center;
    border-bottom:1px solid #519200;
    width:30%;
}

Great....

The first extension seems real interesting. However, I think doing your "own job" is much better to achieve the results you really want! In which css file can I find the above code?

Thanks again! Kindest Regards

Inside template configuration you have "Custom CSS code" field, check penultimate tab.

Read also here: http://www.gavick.com/documentation/joo ... -template/
and others from customization section.

I tried the first plugin you mentioned but unfortunatelly it didn't work...

Then I tried changes in the css code but nothing changed. Maybe I have to disable an existing plugin concerning the message?

Could you please help me with this: remove the time duration of the message

Thanks again

I just noticed that the plugin works with other error or info messages, but it doesn't effect the specific form's message........ (Your message has been sent)

file: gk_creativity\libraries\joomla\document\html\renderer\message.php

This message (from GK Contact) don't have delays to hide, this message is visible until user change page.

Still nothing.. Try to send me a message through the contact form at learn2learn.gr.

You will be re-directed to the home page where the slideshow appears. As a result you have to scroll down to see the confirmation message. But if you don't scroll within 2-3 seconds the message disappears without changing page.

If it was visible until I changed page it wouldn't be a problem for me. You can try to send 2-3 messages to see how fast the message disappears. Can I change this?
