Show Contact Information

Hi, currently i am afraid it’ the only way to do this is to make changes directly in wpadverts/templates/single.php as there are no filters which would allow to replace it without modifying original files.

I have made the changes but the only thing I have not been able to figure out is how to pull the contact email address for the advert so that I can put it into the code for the submit button.

I figured it out. I replaced the email section within “Show Contact Information” with a Contact Form below it.

Code:

<?php $contactEmail = get_post_meta( get_the_ID(), "adverts_email", true ) ?>

<div class="adverts-contact-box">

    <p class="adverts-contact-method">
        <span class="adverts-icon-phone adverts-contact-icon" title="<?php _e("Phone", "adverts") ?>"></span>
        <span class="adverts-contact-phone"></span>
    </p>

</div>

<br />

<?php
$action=$_REQUEST['action'];
if ($action=="")    /* display the contact form */
    {
    ?>
    <form  action="" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
    <input type="hidden" name="action" value="submit">
    Your name:<br />
    <input name="name" type="text" value="" size="30"/ required><br />
    Your email:<br />
    <input name="email" type="text" value="" size="30"/ required><br>
    Your message:<br />
    <textarea name="message" rows="7" cols="30" required></textarea><br /><br />
    <input type="submit" value="Send email"/>
    </form>
    <?php
    }
else                /* send the submitted data */
    {
    $name=$_REQUEST['name'];
    $email=$_REQUEST['email'];
    $message=$_REQUEST['message'];
    if (($name=="")||($email=="")||($message==""))
        {
        echo "All fields are required.";
        }
    else{
        $from="From: $name<$email>\r\nReturn-path: $email";
        $subject="Message from Website";
        mail( $contactEmail, $subject, $message, $from);
        echo "Your message has been sent! Thank you for your interest!";
        }
    }
?>

Hi,

I don’t see whereabouts in single.php this would be added – there does not seem to be a reference to contact information in there?

Thanks!

Since version 1.0.7, you should should be able to use following code instead of modifying single.php file

add_action( "init", "replace_contact_init", 1000 );

function replace_contact_init() {
    remove_action( "adverts_tpl_single_bottom", "adverts_single_contact_information" );
    add_action( "adverts_tpl_single_bottom", "replace_details_with_contact_form" );
}

function replace_details_with_contact_form( $post_id ) {

    $contactEmail = get_post_meta( $post_id, "adverts_email", true ) ;

    ?>

    <div class="adverts-contact-box">

        <p class="adverts-contact-method">
            <span class="adverts-icon-phone adverts-contact-icon" title="<?php _e("Phone", "adverts") ?>"></span>
            <span class="adverts-contact-phone"></span>
        </p>

    </div>

    <br />

    <?php

    $action= adverts_request( "action", "" );
    if ($action=="")    /* display the contact form */
        {
        ?>
        <form  action="" method="POST" enctype="multipart/form-data">
        <input type="hidden" name="action" value="submit">
        Your name:<br />
        <input name="name" type="text" value="" size="30"/ required><br />
        Your email:<br />
        <input name="email" type="text" value="" size="30"/ required><br>
        Your message:<br />
        <textarea name="message" rows="7" cols="30" required></textarea><br /><br />
        <input type="submit" value="Send email"/>
        </form>
        <?php
        }
    else                /* send the submitted data */
        {
        $name=$_REQUEST['name'];
        $email=$_REQUEST['email'];
        $message=$_REQUEST['message'];
        if (($name=="")||($email=="")||($message==""))
            {
            echo "All fields are required.";
            }
        else{
            $from="From: $name<$email>\r\nReturn-path: $email";
            $subject="Message from Website";
            mail( $contactEmail, $subject, $message, $from);
            echo "Your message has been sent! Thank you for your interest!";
            }
        }

}

Add the code in your theme functions.php or create a new WP plugin and add it there.

That’s perfect for displaying the contact form, thanks.

However, I have tested the form and it doesn’t seem to send the emails – any idea why?

Try using Email Log plugin https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/email-log/ to see if it’s not sent or not delivered, if not delivered then you will need to configure email delivery via SMTP.

Hmm, for some reason, it is not logged in the plugin but it sent this time…

Will monitor.

Hi,

I would like to know how to pull the classified’s tittle and link and send it on the message too so the person won’t have to guess what classified the message refers to.

Thanks,

Francisco
