Change HTML 'title' of a page with the contacts form depending on form state?

[Russ]

Is there an easy way to change the HTML 'title' of a page with the contacts form in it, depending on the form state?

eg for normal title ='Conact us'
on error title='Contact Form Error'
on sent title='Contact email sent'

It's a little bit tricky, but it works

1. Open function.contact_form.php with your favourite editor
2. Add after line 24

Code: Select all

    $ctitle = array("Contact Form Error", "Contact email sent");

3. Add after line 88

Code: Select all

    $smarty->assign_by_ref('contacttitle', $ctitle[0]);

4. Add after line 91

Code: Select all

    $smarty->assign_by_ref('contacttitle', $ctitle[1]);

5. Create a copy of your current template and go to edit mode
6. Add directly after

Code: Select all

{content assign='contactcheck'}

7. Change

Code: Select all

<title>{title}</title>

to

Code: Select all

<title>{if $contacttitle != ''}{$contacttitle}{else}{title}{/if}</title>

8. Attach this template to your contact form page
9. Have fun  ...

Thank you very much cyberman, that seems to work just fine. i had been playing with something like this but could not get it quite right, so your help is much appreciated!

I really must get into Smarty a bit more

It makes for a much more accessible form don't you think?
