Contact Form: Name and Email in Message Body

Question

This is a follow-up to an earlier question from 2014: P&T Contact Form plugin: How can I copy “name” and “email address” in the body of the mail? ... it seems that Craft (and the plugin) has gone through significant updates since that question was answered.

How would I include fromName and fromEmail into the body of the message?

I read about events in the documentation, but it doesn't say where they go. Do I put those into the craft>config>contactform.php file? How would I setup an event to handle that inclusion?

Answer 1

I figured it out by duplicating the field...

<input id="fromName" type="text" name="fromName" 
value="{% if message is defined %}{{ message.fromName }}{% endif %}">
{{ message is defined and message ? errorList(message.getErrors('fromName')) }}
<input type="hidden" id="fullName" name="message[Full Name]" class="fullName">

Then duplicating the single entry to the hidden with some Javascript...

    $('#fromName').bind('keypress keyup blur', function() {
      $('#fullName').val($(this).val());
    });

It parses through to the email message as:

Full Name: First Last
