How to add a phone field to a contact form OpenCart 2.0.2.0

I know it is possible that you have already solved this problem, but this is for those who still want to add a custom field to a contact form.

In OpenCart 2.0, the default Contact Page (/index.php?route=information/contact) - Contact form only has 3 fields: your name, email and request

To add custom fields to your contact form, you can

• Buy an extension (as of 5/9/2015, I can't seem to find the one that changes directly. Contact us form)
• Do it yourself: for this you can follow the tutorial link or follow the instructions below

To add a custom "Phone" field to the "Contact Form" in OpenCart 2.0, you will need to edit 3 files:

• \ directory \ language \ english \ info \ contact.php
• \ Directory \ controller \ information \ contact.php
• \ directory \ view \ theme [YourThemeName] \ template \ information \ contact.tpl

[YourThemeName] = Whatever theme you choose for your store, the default is the default, (You can check or set it here: / Admin => Systems => Settings => Select your store and click Edit => Save Tab = > Default Layout)

1. Change the language file: \ catalog \ language \ english \ information \ contact.php

and. Below the line:

$_['entry_email']    = 'E-Mail Address';

      

        
        
        
      

    

Add code:

$_['entry_phone']     = 'Telephone';

      

        
        
        
      

    

b. Under the line

$_['error_email']    = 'E-Mail Address does not appear to be valid!';

      

        
        
        
      

    

Add code:

$_['error_phone']    = 'Telephone is required!';

      

        
        
        
      

    

2. Modify the control file: \ catalog \ controller \ information \ contact.php

and. Below the code:

$data['entry_email'] = $this->language->get('entry_email');

      

        
        
        
      

    

Add code:

$data['entry_phone'] = $this->language->get('entry_phone');

      

        
        
        
      

    

b. Under the code

if (isset($this->error['email'])) {
        $data['error_email'] = $this->error['email'];
    } else {
        $data['error_email'] = '';
    }

      

        
        
        
      

    

Add code

if (isset($this->error['phone'])) {
        $data['error_phone'] = $this->error['phone'];
    } else {
        $data['error_phone'] = '';
    }

      

        
        
        
      

    

from. Below the code:

if (!preg_match('/^[^\@]+@.*.[a-z]{2,15}$/i', $this->request->post['email'])) {
        $this->error['email'] = $this->language->get('error_email');
    }

      

        
        
        
      

    

Add code:

if ((utf8_strlen($this->request->post['phone']) < 1)) {
        $this->error['phone'] = $this->language->get('error_phone');
    }

      

        
        
        
      

    

FIND CODE

$mail->setText($this->request->post['enquiry']);

      

        
        
        
      

    

UPDATE code for

$mail->setText($this->request->post['enquiry'] . $mail->newline . 'Telephone: ' . $this->request->post['phone']);

      

        
        
        
      

    

3. Edit the template file: \ catalog \ view \ theme [YourThemeName] \ template \ information \ contact.tpl

and. Below the line:

<div class="form-group required">
        <label class="col-sm-2 control-label" for="input-email"><?php echo $entry_email; ?></label>
        <div class="col-sm-10">
          <input type="text" name="email" value="<?php echo $email; ?>" id="input-email" class="form-control" />
          <?php if ($error_email) { ?>
          <div class="text-danger"><?php echo $error_email; ?></div>
          <?php } ?>
        </div>
      </div>

      

        
        
        
      

    

Add code:

<div class="form-group required">
            <label class="col-sm-2 control-label" for="input-phone"><?php echo $entry_phone; ?></label>
            <div class="col-sm-10">
                <input type="text" name="phone" value="<?php echo $phone; ?>" id="input-phone" class="form-control" />
                <?php if ($error_phone) { ?>
                <div class="text-danger"><?php echo $error_phone; ?></div>
                <?php } ?>
            </div>
        </div>
