contact form to cms page

[MrrD]

Hi!

 

I would be very thankful, if somebody could help me.

The situation is following - I can't figure out, how to insert/import default contact form (from contact) into the cms page with my contact information. I want to put that contact form under my contact details.

The shop will be in 3 languages, so adding my text to contact-form.tpl will not help, because I don't know how to translate it there.

 

Any suggestions?

You can translate anything you put into a tpl. Look for a structure similar to the following in the tpl file:

 

{l s='some string to translate'}

 

The first char is a lowercase L, and s stands for the string to be translated. Once this structure is in place, you can translate it like any other translatable string using Back Office > Tools > Translations > Front Office Translations > relevant language > relevant section (contact-form in your case)

Can anybody help me please? I am interested by the first part of MrrD question:

how to insert/import default contact form (from contact) into the cms page

So, "ContactControllerCore extends FrontController", therefore in case of adding

ControllerFactory::getController('ContactController')->run();

to cmscontroller.php i get full contact-form page on my cms page.

How can i do this?

How can i do this?

add

ControllerFactory::getController('ContactController')->preProcess();
ControllerFactory::getController('ContactController')->setMedia();
ControllerFactory::getController('ContactController')->process();
ControllerFactory::getController('ContactController')->displayContent();

instead of ControllerFactory::getController('ContactController')->run();

Thanks for explanations but how to do when you want to add html in these strings ? as it doesn't accept them

how to do when you want to add html in these strings

Leave the HTML markup outside the translation, e.g.:

 

<p>{l s='translate this string'} <span class="red">{l s='and this string'}</span><a href="http://www.prestashop.com>{l s='Go to PrestaShop site'}</a></p>

Leave the HTML markup outside the translation, e.g.:

Thanks for explanation but gosh way too complicated for my long text with multiple html tags

but gosh way too complicated for my long text with multiple html tags

True, true. I18N is not the most favorable part of PS.

I did it the other way around: I added a HTML contentmodule to the contact form and explained how over here:

The explanation is in Dutch, but if you want a translation, just let me know....
