Magento – the PHP file for /contacts/index/post/

captchamagento-1.9

Lots of spam is being sent to this form. I need to add Google Recaptcha to it.

What is the PHP file that's responsible for receiving the contact POST at /contacts/index/post/ ?

After some search I couldn't find anything relevant except form.phtml which seems to be only responsible for displaying the form but not receiving the POST data.

He is talking about Magento1 because there no contacts in Magento2

Magento1 = contacts/index/post

Magento2 = contact/index/post

So contacts/index/post is a controller contact form module :

contacts = frontname,

index = controllerName,

post = postAction().

If you want to add you captcha, so it's happening in form.phtml, you have nothing to do in controller.

To add GoogleRecaptcha in your contact form :

app/design/frontend/{package}/{themeName}/template/contacts/form.phtml

$sitekey ='site_key_here'; //you get it from googleRecaptcha V3
$secret ='secret_key_here'; //you get it from googleRecaptcha V3
...
<form action="<?php echo $this->getFormAction(); ?>" id="contactForm" method="post" onsubmit="return validateCaptcha()">
    ...
    <div class="g-recaptcha" id="recaptcha" data-sitekey="<?php echo $sitekey; ?>"></div> <!-- Google CAPTCHA-->
    <div id="error-g-captcha" style="display:none;"><?php echo $this->__('Please check the captcha validation !')?></div>
</form>

<script type="text/javascript">
//<![CDATA[
    var contactForm = new VarienForm('contactForm', true);

    // captcha validation
    function validateCaptcha() {
        var v = grecaptcha.getResponse();
        if(v.length == 0) {
            jQuery('#error-g-captcha').show();
            return false;
        } else {
            jQuery('#error-g-captcha').hide();
            return true;
        }
    }
//]]>
</script>

app/design/frontend/{package}/{themeName}/layout/local.xml

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<layout version="0.1.0">
    <default>
        ...
        <reference name="head">
           <action method="addItem"><type>external_js</type><name>https://www.google.com/recaptcha/api.js</name><params/></action>
        </reference>
    </default>
</layout>

You need to add config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
    <SiDev_ModalContacts>
        <version>0.1.0</version>
    </SiDev_ModalContacts>
</modules>

<frontend>
    <routers>
        <modalcontacts>
            <use>standard</use>
            <args>
                <module>SiDev_ModalContacts</module>
                <frontName>modalcontacts</frontName>
            </args>
        </modalcontacts>
    </routers>
</frontend>
 <global>
    <rewrite>        
        <sidev_modalcontacts_contacts_indexcontroller>
            <from><![CDATA[#^/contacts/index/#]]></from> <!-- Mage_Contacts_IndexController  -->
            <to>/modalcontacts/contacts_index/</to> <!-- SiDev_ModalContacts_Contacts_IndexController  -->
        </sidev_modalcontacts_contacts_indexcontroller>
    </rewrite>
    </global>
</config>

Your controller code as below:

app\code\local\SiDev\ModalContacts\controllers\Contacts\IndexController.php

<?php
require_once "Mage/Contacts/controllers/IndexController.php";  
class SiDev_ModalContacts_Contacts_IndexController extends Mage_Contacts_IndexController{
 //your code goes here
}

Magento 1.9 – Custom Contact Form Using Custom Template

Its because you are action is contacts/index/post/ so its going to contacts module on IndexController's post method and if you look at this action your message and redirect is set here so you should create another action here and display your custom message and redirect where you want.for example your function could be

 public function customefromAction(){
 //your redirect and messagge//
 }

and your action

 contacts/index/customefrom/<br>

 //for above to work you have to copy your postAction function content to your action.

alternative you can submit form using post action and set redirect to your action

around line no 113 you can find:

Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addSuccess(Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Your inquiry was submitted and will be responded to as soon as possible. Thank you for contacting us.'));

just comment it

and change

$this->_redirect('*/*/'); to
$this->_redirect('*/*/customefrom');// this redirect to your action
