GlossyBlue enhanced-wp-contactform Theme!

May 20th, 2007, filed under Apple, Articles, General, PHP, Ruby on Rails

Installing a clean version of WordPress 2.2 also gave me a nice chance to update the theme. I’ve chosen to install the GlossyBlue theme created by N.Design Studio. He did an excellent job on creating this theme!

I’ve added a contact form using the enhanced-wp-contactform by Joost de Valk (based on the original code by Ryan Duff). If you’re using the same theme as I do, you might want to check the contact page on this weblog and see if you would like to use it as well.

Download the modified contact form here:
enhanced-wp-contactform-glossyblue-13.zip

Installation

Step 1:
Read the readme.txt and follow the instructions.

Step 2:
Update the current stylesheet, which is located in /wp-content/themes/glossyblue-13/, and add the code included in the zip file. You can replace the existing lines starting with #commentform.

Step 3:
Activate the plugin, if you haven’t done so already.

Step 4:
Create a new single page or post and add the line:

<!--contact form-->

That’s it! Hope you will enjoy it. Any comments, or suggestions regarding my modification, please use the comment form below to post your message.

Hi Joost!

Most changes I made consists of replacing the form labels and error messages in wp-contactform.php and having them match the Glossyblue theme. The contact form now uses the same markup code as this comment form below. I’ve also changed the markup for error messages, which is now declared in the theme’s stylesheet, /themes/glossyblue-13/style.css, and no longer in the admin area.

Thank you for this great plugin! I like it alot, and as you’ve seen it can be easily customized. Using Mozilla Firefox will give the best results.
