Can we make the email form link say something other than "Email Contact form"?

String override module will change the strings, the cck field title and the contact form page title too (SO is case sensitive). I don't think you can change the contact form to say Contact Mr Big as the token wouldn't be available on that page. Might work on the cck field page though.

Add contact Mr Big is tricky. The work around I have is to code the link separately. If you enable the email form then the rendered page gets a link like /email/4/field_contact where 4 is $node->nid and field_contact is the name you gave the contact email field. So if you set in display fields to exclude the email form then the automatic link disappears. You can then add in your own button or link with php i.e.

 print '<a href="/email/' . $node->nid . '/field_contact">' . $realname . '</a>';

where $realname is the person's name, perhaps a field.

The only way to get the name on the contact form I think is to insert the form into another node with cck perhaps. Or you could have a custom tpl file page-email.tpl.php in your theme directory. Or add to theme template.php a rewrite function - function mythemename_preprocess_page(&$vars). That can alter all the page variables. I'm not sure which is the faster as you could just rewrite the variables at the start of page-email.tpl.php then include the standard page.tpl.php

I solved this by adding the following function to my theme's template.php file

function themename_preprocess_page(&$variables) {
  if (arg(0) == 'email' && is_numeric(arg(1))) {
    $node = node_load(arg(1));
    $variables['title'] = 'Email '. $node->title;
  }
}

Sorry - to clarify, the code above is for Drupal 6. I don't think this exact code will work in Drupal 5 although you might be able to do something similar with the phptemplate variables.

Just to check - did you replace 'themename' with the name of your theme?

Sure - the $node object should contain all the fields related to that node, including the email address field. To find the field name to call, you could use the devel module to find the values or use print_r() temporarily to print out the contents of the node object.

One word of caution though - if you print out the email address in the title, you're exposing that email address to spam harvesters and negate most of the point of using a contact form.

Hi
Thanks for this great posting it was great help.

Here is another option for #3 which does not use php. The code can go right in the view in the email fields 'Rewrite the output of this field'. Like this

<a href="/email/[nid]/field_email" class="contact_form">[title] Contact Form</a>

You have make sure you inlclude the node nid as one of you fields and just check exclude from display. The title has my user name.

Also, has a note if you already of a the themename_preprocess_page function in your template.php you can just add the code into it.

Again, thanks worked great.

Hi,

Absolutely brilliant.

I like the View rewrite approach. Just for anyone reading this thread. Make sure you add the node id field above (!) the e-mail field. Also, make sure the title field is not a link to anything (the token captures such a link). If it is a link, you could just add another (not linked) title field.

@jastraat #4 - thanks very much for the handy tip, works a treat! :-)

Can I do some like that for this one.. code from email.module

function email_menu() {
  $items['email/%/%'] = array(
    'title' => 'Email Contact Form',
    'page callback' => 'email_mail_page',
    'page arguments' => array(1, 2),
    'access callback' => 'user_access',
    'access arguments' => array('access content'),
    'type' => MENU_CALLBACK,
  );
  $items['admin/settings/email'] = array(
    'title' => 'CCK Email Contact Form Settings',
    'description' => 'Administer flood control settings for email contact forms',
    'page callback' => 'drupal_get_form',
    'page arguments' => array('email_admin_settings'),
    'access arguments' => array('administer site configuration'),
  );
  return $items;
}

Some for this topic

function theme_email_formatter_contact($element) {
  return !empty($element['#item']['safe']) ? l(t('Email contact form'), 'email/'. $element['#node']->nid .'/'. $element['#field_name']) : '';
}

How about setting it up so that the field's options on the field display configuration screen have an ability to set the text that appears for the link to the contact form.

Just brainstorming here; I may work on a patch if this would be a friendly approach to the maintainers; until something like that is done, the above workarounds are adequate enough.

Also, this specific approach would only apply to the D7 branch, though I'm sure you could add configuration options to the CCK field display configuration screen as well.

I would also like to rewrite the node view of the email field. I think tnanek has a good idea.
