High everybody
I am using "e-mail contact form" in a multi language site, which works perfect well, except somehow I am not able to rename the submit and reset button in the form. anybody any idea how this could be changed?

thanks in advance

Hi beat,

you can rename both the submit and the reset button directly in the content part in the backend...

Hi jscholtysik

I've tried this but no luck. In the namefield of the submit button there is "senden" but in the site it display's "Anfrage abschicken". The oder filed is the Labelfield that does not help. By the way I am using DEV 1.2.6

the same happens with the reset button. I used the name "löschen" but it displays "Zurücksetzen"

you can have a look here http://www.anlagenbau.ch/index.php?id=31,0,0,1,0,0

thanks

well this is amazing

in safari it shows senden, but not in firefox, but loeschen it won't show. really strange, must be a cache problem

even more strange
in Netscape 7.1 it shows the standard english button text

Hello Beat,

to specify the text your contact form buttons are displaying you have to enter the string to be displayed as value. The source code of your form shows that you did not set the value.

soll die Beschriftung eines Knopfes im E-Mail Kontaktformulars (ja, das "neue") bestimmt werden, muss diese im Feld "Wert" eingetragen werden.

Well, i also edited with no success but the explanation is simple.
The [SEND] button comes always in the language the PC is installed.
I live in a turist area with many foreigners. I know PCs in german, english, spanish and swedish. My site is multilingal.
When I go to my friends and show them eg the german version of my site
everything comes in german - exept the sendbutton.
Looks quiet funny german with a swedish or spanish sendbutton.

So everything is no problem. The one who is using a computer in his own country has always the right button

What about margin and padding?

did you use the email contact form?
I think the only reasonable way is the type "break". (Insert a {SPACER:1x10})
I find out, that padding and margin don´t work fine for this problem. The right <td><input name .........</td> would stretched but the left <td>Labeltext:*</td> can´t justify the text in one horiz. line to your input field. It´s tricky.
If you want to have an space between label and input, than use the "label wrap:"

Code: Select all

|&nbsp;

If you want to have a space or other signs before the label:

Code: Select all

&nbsp;|

As i understood you need some space between the fields?
Therefore just write: "margin-top: 5px;" or what you need
(which works perfect to me) into the css at the end of each item.

If you need some space between the label and the
field itself then take knuts solution.

Thanks Klappstuhl28 for the solution, and also to all of you.

write "margin-right: 20px;" into the CSS-field of the lable.

Concerning the send button I'd also like to know how and where it can be customized. How come you can't name the button as you please in version 1.2.8 ?? It worked in 1.2.6. Has anybody got a clue?

Regards,
Anka

Hi godmd,

A little example of the contact form http://www.phpwcms-docu.de/index.php?contact you will see there: http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.php?p=69503#69503

Danke Knut,

du bist wirklich unermüdlich. Die Vorlagen haben mir sehr geholfen, das Formular an Version 1.2.8 anzupassen. Nur leider lässt sich trotzdem der Text "Anfrage senden" auf dem Sendbutton nicht ändern. Eingaben im Feld Value werden ignoriert, siehe auch weiter oben im Thread. Wie und wo kann man den Wert angeben - oder kommt eine Korrektur mit dem nächsten Release?

Gruß - und vielen Dank, Anka
