Form results on same page?

    Apologies for what is probably an elementary question...

    Is it possible to adjust the code or modify pages or something so that the results display (or appear to display) on the same page if I use the contact.php as an include in another php template? I don't know enough about writing PHP to know how this would work or if it is simple or complicated to do.

    My example is here: http://bkmacdaddy.com/cl/contact/

    I just want any error pages and the thank you page to appear within the same template context.

    Thanks in advance for your help! And for a great, simple script!

    Duh. never mind! You can delete this post. i figured out how to do it - by incorporating the script inside my template.

    No problem!

    Apologies for not getting back to you a little sooner. I want to give my BBPress install a bit of an upgrade. Although I try to reply to posts within a few hours I currently have to check my RSS reader for updates.

    To answer your question, this would require some adjustment to simpleContact.

    I have made forms in the past that displayed their results on the same page and I think it is more advantageous to redirect to another page. It makes it easier for you to track messages and newsletter sign-ups in a stats package (e.g. as goal conversions in Google Analytics).

    Because it would require some re-arrangement of the form code, I could not support this under my usual remit as the developer of simpleContact. If you do decide that you would like me to make a custom build for you, I would be happy to discuss a quote.
