Every time that you post a problem, PLEASE add the Joomla and the extension's versions and revisions (for example: Joomla 3.3.6, Contact Enhanced 3.3.5), PHP version and Server's Operating System. If you only manage only one site it is easier if you edit your profile and just add that information to your signature. Don't forget to add a detailed description of the problem. If possible, write down all steps to simulate the problem.
Before submitting a new post, PLEASE make sure you are running the latest version, test in different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome,..) and clear Joomla and browser's cache after every change you make.
Also, most questions are already answered in our FAQ and in iFAQ and Contact Enhanced documentation pages.

Adding referring url to form
14 years 11 months ago #245 by jdundon
First off, great product. Second, I looked through the forums and can't find anybody else trying to do this. I am implementing this for lead generation when coupled with jReviews for a contractor rating website. I am trying to figure out a way to pass the referring url in the email form (so I know which listing the person is inquiring about) but it keeps stripping that input. I am pretty good at html but am just learning javascript and php so please bear with me. 
Thanks in advance for the help!
Here is my setup:
1. In the listing, I have a link that says "contact this contractor" that takes the user to the contact form.
2. I went into views/contact/tmpl/default_form.php and added this javascript to the top:
then this to the bottom area with the rest of the hidden inputs:
I then tried it out and sent the email, but the referring url is not passed in the email. I tried again and looked at the source before I submitted the form, and sure enough the input is right there, with the proper referring url from the last page, but it doesn't get passed to the email.
Any ideas? I'm sure it is something simple. Thanks!

Great response time!
We would like to get this working in two weeks or so. Any idea when that new version will be released?
Any quick hacks I can implement in the mean time? Thanks!
