how to configurate the contact formular ?

Hi there,

i m builden an website for my company. We are an insurance broker and would like to have a small text to each insurence. If the customer is interestet in this insurence he can fill out something like a “call back formular”. In this formular we would like to ask some questions before we call back our customers. We need to ask 10 general questins to the customer himself like name, adress, number and so on and 10 up to 15 questions to each insurence he is interested in. So we have up to 25 questions in our call back formular.

I would like to put some questions beside each other so the formular is not so long .

Example:

Question 1 Question 2
Question 3 Question 4
Question 5 question 6
.......

i havent found an option to coose where the filds in the formular should be.
I hope you understand me and u are willing to help me.

p.s. : you have build an excelent application for joomla ,)

Re: how to configurate the contact formular ?

Hi,

The way the form is displayed is controlled by CSS, and you can add CSS codes either in profile's CSS or in your template's CSS.
In your case you need to set the width of each row ( label+field ) to a width that more then one fits on one line and make them float so they are displayed one after the other.
This is done with something like this :

Cod:

div.aiContactSafe_row { width:200px; float:left; clear:none; }

Happy you like the extension. smile

Re: how to configurate the contact formular ?

Hi Alex,
thanks for fast reply. I´m looking forward to configurate the forms with css, but at the moment I`m busy to build my 65 different contact forms smile .

I´m unfomforteble to have an other question but i can´t find an possiple way to fix my Problem. Is it possible to build an intellegent contat form ?
I would like to hav an chekbox an if the value is true, an new box is opening, maybe an editbox.

Example:
1. Do you have children ? [ ]

2: Do you have children ? [X]
How old are your children ? [______________]

Re: how to configurate the contact formular ?

Sorry, you can't do that in the current version unless you create the form yourself using output overrides ( http://developer.joomla.org/tutorials/1 … oomla.html ) and let the extension only record and send the values in the fields.

Re: how to configurate the contact formular ?

Hi Alex,

thanks for your support so far. You are doing a good job.

But i have an other question. The most of our customers dont understand the difference between an residental, residental/commercial and an commercial building. Most of them will fill in the residental formular, even if they have an commercial building.

I would like to add an combobox in the residental building formular with the following options:

Residental
Residental / commercial
Commercial

If they choose the commercial building they should be forwarded to an other formular. I dont think that this is possible with css. Do u have any ideas ?

Re: how to configurate the contact formular ?

Hi,

You can't do that from aiContactSafe.
You need to define contact links for each of those situations ( with different profiles ) and maybe add the links again on top of the contact form either by placing it in an article or by adding them into the contact information.

Re: how to configurate the contact formular ?

You can define the link either in the contact information ( using a WYSIWYG editor ) or you can use html tags in the labels of the fields.
You can have, for example, a separator field in which label you can use an anchor ( <a> ) tag.
