Using the style option in the contact_form plugin - it's not working for me

Hi,

I am trying to use the style option for the contact_form plugin.

I want to turn the default styles off.

I've tried

Code: Select all

{contact_form email='email@site.com' style=false}

Code: Select all

{contact_form email='email@site.com' style='false'}

Code: Select all

{contact_form email='email@site.com' style=0}

Code: Select all

{contact_form email='email@site.com' style='0'}
Nothing seems to work.

I am using CMS Made Simple 0.11.2

PHP Version 4.4.1

Does the style option actually work? If so, how do you use it?

The stylesheets for the content forms are inline, which I think means they override everything else. Look in plugins/function.contact_form.php, line 65-71.

There are several things wrong with that form from an XHTML/CSS point of view. No labels, no IDs, things like that. I'm working on a custom version for my site which I may release, although I've heard of another one- feedback_form or something like that. I'd check that out if I were you- it may serve your purposes.

I'm having the same problem; I want to turn the default styles off, but it doesn't seem to work. I've even opened up function.contact_form.php and changed

Code: Select all

$style = true;
to

Code: Select all

$style = false;
Still doesn't work.

I had to take the rather drastic step of removing the:

Code: Select all

<?php echo ($style) ? $elementStyle: ''; ?>
command from each element.
