Unfortunately, the stock Drupal contact module does not satisfy everyone's functional requirements. I decided to weigh alternative solutions, but since all I wanted to do was add an additional field to the form and email, I decided to add a few lines of module code instead. This solution consists of adding a form_alter hook to modify the contact form and submit handler, and an additional submit handler function:
<?php
function MYMODULE_form_alter(&$form, $form_state, $form_id) {
// check for contact form
if ($form_id == 'contact_mail_page') {
// prefix another submit handler
array_unshift($form['#submit'], '_MYMODULE_mail_page_submit');
// NOTE: since I want to insert the form element at a certain point,
// I have to create a new $form object
$newForm = array();
// define insertion point
$ip = 'message';
// lop through $form object and duplicate the values
foreach ($form as $k => $v) {
// check for insertion point and add new form element
if ($k == $ip) {
// add phone number
$newForm['phone'] = array(
'#type' => 'textfield',
'#required' => true,
'#title' => 'Phone',
);
}
$newForm[$k] = $v;
}
// replace $form object with new form
$form = $newForm;
}
}
function _MYMODULE_mail_page_submit($form, &$form_state) {
// Since message is required by default,
// I can concatenate the new form field onto the message variable
if (!empty($form_state['values']['phone'])) {
$form_state['values']['message'] .= "\n\nPhone: " . $form_state['values']['phone'];
}
}
?>Now, if I browse to the contact form, there is a new field (phone number in this example) inserted right above the message textarea. When I submit the form, the email sent contains the phone number as well.
