The default contact form in Drupal has quite basic settings. You may only create categories and receiving emails with the default UI admin. To change other preferences such as form title or form destination, we may have to implement override hooks.
In this article, we present some tricks to customize the contact form in Drupal. More tricks will be added regularly.
1. Edit the contact form title
To change the title, add this function to template.php on your theme folder (/sites/all/themes/your-theme/template.php)
<?php
function mytheme_form_contact_site_form_alter (&$form, &$form_state) {
drupal_set_title ('Contact ABC Media');
}
2. Redirect form result
By default, users will be redirected to front pages after submitting the form. It has a strange behavior for users because they may confuse what is going on, whether the message has been sent.
To redirect the contact form to a page of your choice, please add these two functions to your template.php file of your theme, as in section 1 above. I learnt it from a tip of Postrational.
<?php
function my_theme_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
if ($form_id == 'contact_site_form') {
$form['#submit'][] = 'contact_form_submit_handler';
}
}
function contact_form_submit_handler(&$form, &$form_state) {
$form_state['redirect'] = 'thank-you-page-alias';
}
