I’m just starting a site with Magento ver 1.4.0.1 so I will update things here soon!

Thanks, this is a great way to do it.

I cannot get that adding a contact form to a page to work in Magento Magento ver. 1.4.0.1, so I resorted to this example.

{{block type=”core/template” name=”contactForm” template=”contacts/form.phtml”}}

Ken,

Thanks for the simple ‘how to’ for this contact us block. Very helpful.

Look for the contactForm block and put the code before it. You can also place the code after the contactForm block to have your info appear after the form. It should look something like this:

< reference name="content" >
	< block type="cms/block" name="contact-info" >
                < action method="setBlockId" >< block_id>contact-info 
        < /block > 
< /reference >

< reference name="content" >
        < block type="core/template" name="contactForm" template="contacts/form.phtml"/ >
< /reference >

You will need to remove the spaces from this snippet before and after the < > symbols.

Thanks for this tip but where do you put that code in the contact.xml file?

This was a great example and it worked as advertised. Thank you. This actually clarified a process that the Magento site did a poor job of explaining.

Hunter- This code is to place a static block of custom text and/or images on your contact page. It is not meant to place the contact form on a cms page.

To add a contact form on a cms page try inserting this code:
{{block type=”core/template” name=”contactForm” template=”contacts/form.phtml”}}

I’ve tried creating the static block reference in the contacts.xml file and then creating the static block. When I reference the static blog in a CMS page it just gives me the html that preceeds the contact form and no contact form. It’s seems simple enough, but I’m not sure why the form is being included.
