How to Change URL of the Contact Page in form.phtml File in Magento

from the looks of it, it might be as simple as the quotations that you have in your declaration. If you copied and pasted they may be wrong and you may just need to erase and enter them again. It has happened to me before. Also if that isn't the case check error logs to see if anything is missing and post them back if you can.

To add a Google Maps below your contact form you do this thru adding a stocking block thru your local.xml:

First create a static block: Name: Google Maps Identifier: googlemaps Store: Select your store Content: Insert the Google Maps include code

Next edit the local.xml file in your theme (app/design/frontend/[package]/[template]/layout/local.xml) and add the following code:

        <contacts_index_index>
                <reference name='content'>
                        <block type="cms/block" name="mapsblock">
                                <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>googlemaps</block_id></action>
                        </block>
                </reference>
        </contacts_index_index>

If there is no local.xml in your theme create one, complete XML for this file:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout>
        <contacts_index_index>
                <reference name='content'>
                        <block type="cms/block" name="mapsblock">
                                <action method="setBlockId"><block_id>googlemaps</block_id></action>
                        </block>
                </reference>
        </contacts_index_index>
</layout>
