Contact form on website help

[stang]

So long story short I hired a guy to build my website, and to eventually get it done, i had to pretty much threaten him. After over 8 months he built the simple website I wanted him to, but I have one issue with it. The contact us form goes to the wrong email addy. I cant ask him to fix it, because I pretty much dont want to talk to him anymore.

I know my way around my site to make changes to the content, but when I change the .php file that has the wrong email to the right email address, the form stops working, and all I have done is change 5 letters in notepad and resaved it.


Is there anyone who would want to log in and take a look? Or could anyone help me? The website is www.ampedproductions.ca

Thanks

Your idiot* web developer used flash for the contact form on the contact page. You may be SOL on getting this done without the original .FLA file.

Having said that, PM your FTP details and I'll take a look. But I suspect you may be stuck contacting him.

*yes, anyone using flash for something like this in 2011 is an idiot.

Which php file are you changing? contact-form.php?

The contact form is using flash and it's some kind of tool that I haven't seen before.

The flash object that has the form seems to use a contact-form.xml which has some config info in it (http://www.ampedproductions.ca/contact-form.xml) but no destination email that I can see. And that php file http://www.ampedproductions.ca/contact-form.php seems kind of weird.

If you change it does it give an error at all when it doesn't work?

Agreed he's a goof for using flash for that, though it looks like he used a tool (http://www.coffeecup.com/form-builder/ I think) to do it and it looks like it's driven by config files so hopefully he'll be able to change it without recompiling the flash file with the tool.

Yes he isn't very good at building websites. Which I unfortunately learnt after. Sigh.

And yes I was changing contact-form.php

PM coming jaydorn

No error, just doesn't work.

Ugh. Bump

So my new form works good and isnt flash, but the way I get the emails makes replying a pain in the ass. You have to copy their email address and paste it when you hit reply or else it comes back to my email address. Then the subject says "form sent to amped productions"

Anyone here want to make a couple bucks fixing my contact form? I would like to be able to reply to the email address, and have the subject be the date that they have filled into the form
