Magento 1.9 – Get Post Data from Contact Form in a View

magento-1.9post-data

I'm trying to get a success message on the contact page. When the form is send i want to show the message. So i need the post data from the form. I tried this:

$postdata = Mage::app()->getFrontController()->getRequest()->getPost('email');

And

$postdata = $this->getRequest()->getPost('email');

And

$postdata = $this->getRequest()->getParams();

But i don't get the post data

I want to display a success message, i thought that when i have the post data in the view i can make a if statment in the view to show the success message

This sounds like the formular is send to actionA, which redirects to actionB and you try to get the data in actionB, this is not possible. You need to save them somewhere, e.g. in the session.

Magento Admin Form – Post Data Missing Issue

On your latest screenshot I see that the fields you are submitting don't have a name.

Look at the input with the id product_id for example. the name attribute is empty.

I think the problem comes from the way you defined your fields.

Let's take this for example:

   $fieldset->addField('product_id', 'text', array(
        'label' => 'Product ID',
        'required' => true,
        'note' => 'This resembles the product ID for this subscription',
    ));

There is no name attribute in the configuration array.
it should be something like this:

   $fieldset->addField('product_id', 'text', array(
        'name' => 'product_id', //you are missing this in your code
        'label' => 'Product ID',
        'required' => true,
        'note' => 'This resembles the product ID for this subscription',
    ));

do the same for the other fields and try again.

Magento – Creating a Transactional Email for a Contact Form

To create a new e-mail template, navigate to System > Transactional Emails in Magento's top Admin Panel menu and click the 'Add New Template' button.

In the top section select 'Contact Form' from the Template drop-down menu and click 'Load Template'. The default contact form e-mail template will be loaded in the Template section.

{{var data.name}} should give you the name
After saving the new transactional e-mail template, you still need to assign it to the store contact by navigating to System > Configuration > Contacts. Select your custom e-mail template in the Email Options section, click 'Save Config' and you should be all set.
