Add custom Select to contact form Magento 2 - Theme Luma

Question

following other guides, I added in the page form to

/httpdocs/vendor/magento/module-contact/view/frontend/templates/form.phtml

and I added the code

<div class="field selezione required">
 <label class="label" for="subject"><span><?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo __('Come hai conosciuto AvaloItalia?') ?></span></label>
 <div class="control">
 <select selectname="selezione" id="selezione" title="<?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo __('Come hai conosciuto AvaloItalia?') ?>" data-validate="{required:true}" value="ciao">
 <option value="facebook">Facebook</option>
 <option value="google">Google</option>
 <option value="altro">Altro</option>
 </select> 
 </div>
 </div>

I adjusted the template that I get email but the field is always empty.

{{trans "Name: %name" name=$data.name}}
{{trans "Email: %email" email=$data.email}}
{{trans "Phone Number: %telephone" telephone=$data.telephone}}
{{trans "Come hai conosciuto AvalonItalia?: %selezione" selezione=$data.selezione}}
{{trans "Comment: %comment" comment=$data.comment}}

What am I doing wrong? how can i fix it?

• Pawan: Could you share what variable you have added in your email template ?
• Alessandro: I went into Marketing-> Email Templates and I created a new model using the default one, I added the variable {{trans "Come hai conosciuto AvalonItalia?: %selezione" selezione=$data.selezione}} and I used this template as default. I modify question with code Template Email.
• PЯINCƎ: Don't update the core modules files, you have to override the module-contactthen you update the phtml as you need in a new one !
• Alessandro: how can i do this?

Answer 1

I did this in Magento 2.2.X

1) Put this in your app/design/frontend/[theme-provider]/[theme-name]/Magento_Contact/templates/form.phtml and modify it to your liking, for example add a new select box as follows:

<div class="field region input-box">
 <label for="dropdown"><span><?php /* @escapeNotVerified */ echo __('Region') ?></span></label>
 <select name="dropdown" id="dropdown">
 <option value="selected">select...</option>
 <option name="retail" value="Retail">Retail</option>
 <option name="wholesale" value="Wholesale">Wholesale</option>
 <option name="customerservice" value="CustomerService">Customer Service</option>
 <option name="logistics" value="logistics">Logistics</option>
 <option name="general" value="General">General</option>
 </select>
 </div>

2) Run this code:

php bin/magento setup:upgrade
php bin/magento cache:flush

3) In your dashboard go to > Marketing> Email Templates, you need to create a new template if you don't have one

4) In Load default template choose a template in this case Contact Form and click on the button Load Template.

5) Add a name to the template.

6) In template content Open a space in the code and place this:

<tr>
 <td><b>{{trans "Region"}}</b></td>
 <td>{{var data.dropdown}}</td>
</tr>

7) in your dashboard go to > STORES> Configuration> General Contacts> Email Options> Email Template, choose your new email template and save.

• hey: This returns the option value for me. Is there any way to return the label instead?
• Gerardo Siano: Thank you man! It worked like a charm!
