Is there a way to add custom fields into the Contact form? I don't want to have a separate webform for the info I have in mind, I'd rather have in the standard contact form.

maartenvg commentedthis sounds more like a support request.
I've skimmed the modules list for a module that would do such a thing, but I haven't found any. In any case, you can use hook_form_alter() to create the needed fields and process them accordingly. Of course that requires programming skills.

mdowsett commentedwhich I have very little of....and I don't like altering modules (especially core modules like the contact.module) as it leaves me high-and-dry when it comes to upgrading.
thx tho

ainigma32 commentedAnswer provided so I'm setting this to fixed.
Feel free to reopen or add to the issue if you know of other ways to add to the contact form.

markosaurus commentedYou would use hook_form_alter() in a custom module according to the API, but I've tried that and can't get it to work;
My custom module (contactformedit) is working and enabled and I thought the following should work?
I'm trying to add a "phone" field to my sitewide contact form;
function contactformedit_form_alter(&$form, &$form_state, $form_id) {
if (isset($form['type']) && $form['type']['#value'] . 'contact_site_form' == $form_id) {
$form['phone'] = array(
'#title' => t('Your phone'),
'#type' => 'textfield',
);
}
}
No dice, I've tried alsorts and nothing works. The module is being rendered out because when I put in print 'test'; it renders that to the page, then overwrites it with the form.
Any clues anyone?
TIA
