FlatPress support forum

I would like to add a note to the contact form that the data will be processed according to the privacy policy. (With link to privacy policy) How can I add the text to the form?

Hello Hariko,

welcome on board.
You can edit the template fp-interface/sharedtpls/contact.tpl for this purpose.

With best regards
Frank

Hello Frank,
I have now simply found the right place by trial and error and entered the text there (see below)
It works, but this can not be correct way? Firstly, this looks completely unprofessional and secondly, it will be overwritten during an update or?
greetings
Hariko

</fieldset>

<fieldset><legend>{$lang.contact.fieldset2}</legend>
<p><label for="content">{$lang.contact.comment}</label><br />
{if isset($error) && isset($error.content) && !empty($error.content)}
{assign var=class value="field-error"}
{else}
{assign var=class value=""}
{/if}
{if isset($values) && isset($values.content) && !empty($values.content)}
{assign var=contentvalue value=$values.content}
{else}
{assign var=contentvalue value=""}
{/if}
<textarea name="content" id="content" class="{$class}"
rows="10" cols="74">{$contentvalue|stripslashes|wp_specialchars:true}</textarea></p>

<div class="buttonbar">
<input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="{$lang.contact.submit}" />
<input type="reset" name="reset" id="reset" value="{$lang.contact.reset}" />
</div>

</form>

Hello Hariko,

the template will be overwritten during an update. You can style the hint text via the corresponding css file.

Alternatively, you can use a plugin and customize it to your needs.
Take a look at the CookieGuard plugin.

Hello,
I wanted to create a simple plugin that displays the text directly over the submit button,
but I can't do it. No text appears. What is the reason for this?
Greetings
Hariko


add_filter('fp_contactform_before_submit_button', 'add_notice_text');

function add_notice_text($form) {
$notice_text = "Wir verarbeiten Ihre Daten gemäß unserer <a href='https://www.example.com/datenschutz'>Da ... klärung</a>.";
return $form .= "<p><em>" . $notice_text . "</em></p>";
}

Hi and welcome aboard

Nice idea, this plugin! And a great plugin example to start with
Without being really involved yet: Your function returns an assignment. Simply remove the "=":
All the best,

Unfortunately, I can't make it work, it's always the same problem with these open-source projects. As a normal mortal user are always quickly reached the limits, and it is assumed that you have to learn before using the program various things, in this case HTML, PHP, CSS and so on. Simply applying is not possible. So, it always remains a tool for enthusiasts. Actually, a pity.

Hello Hariko,

probably an anchor is missing in the template contact.tpl for this. But you can use the anchor {comment_form}, which is normally used by the plugin Accessible Antispam. This also has the advantage that if a visitor wants to leave a comment, he then also gets the reference to the privacy policy displayed. Try this plugin.

Best regards
Frank

Okay, two steps back: What if you just copy&paste the Leggero theme, and rename the copy to, say, "Hariko"? Then you'd be able to edit the contact form template to your needs without having to fear losing it with the next update.

Let us know if that helps
All the best
Arvid

Update: Ah, I see, Frank created a plugin
