I am trying to add a contacts form on multiple cms/products pages. I copied the default contacts form phtml and pasted it into a new phtml file. However, submitting the form redirects to the contacts page when I want it to remain on the page they completed the form on. So I created a custom module in order to override the controller and change the redirect.

Here are my files:

/app/etc/modules/SiDev_ModalContacts.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <config> <modules> <SiDev_ModalContacts> <active>true</active> <codePool>local</codePool> </SiDev_ModalContacts> </modules> </config> 

/app/code/local/SiDev/ModalContacts/etc/config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?> <config> <modules> <SiDev_ModalContacts> <version>0.1.0</version> </SiDev_ModalContacts> </modules> <frontend> <routers> <modalcontacts> <use>standard</use> <args> <module>SiDev_ModalContacts</module> <frontName>modalcontacts</frontName> </args> </modalcontacts> </routers> </frontend> </config> 

/app/code/local/SiDev/ModalContacts/controllers/IndexController.php:

<?php require_once Mage::getModuleDir('controllers', 'Mage_Contacts').DS.'IndexController.php'; class SiDev_ModalContacts_IndexController extends Mage_Contacts_IndexController { public function postAction() { $post = $this->getRequest()->getPost(); if ( $post ) { $translate = Mage::getSingleton('core/translate'); /* @var $translate Mage_Core_Model_Translate */ $translate->setTranslateInline(false); try { $postObject = new Varien_Object(); $postObject->setData($post); $error = false; if (!Zend_Validate::is(trim($post['name']) , 'NotEmpty')) { $error = true; } if (!Zend_Validate::is(trim($post['comment']) , 'NotEmpty')) { $error = true; } if (!Zend_Validate::is(trim($post['email']), 'EmailAddress')) { $error = true; } if (Zend_Validate::is(trim($post['hideit']), 'NotEmpty')) { $error = true; } if ($error) { throw new Exception(); } $mailTemplate = Mage::getModel('core/email_template'); /* @var $mailTemplate Mage_Core_Model_Email_Template */ $mailTemplate->setDesignConfig(array('area' => 'frontend')) ->setReplyTo($post['email']) ->sendTransactional( Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_TEMPLATE), Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_SENDER), Mage::getStoreConfig(self::XML_PATH_EMAIL_RECIPIENT), null, array('data' => $postObject) ); if (!$mailTemplate->getSentSuccess()) { throw new Exception(); } $translate->setTranslateInline(true); Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addSuccess(Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Your inquiry was submitted and will be responded to as quickly as possible. Thank you for contacting us.')); $this->_redirect('*/*/'); return; } catch (Exception $e) { $translate->setTranslateInline(true); Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->addError(Mage::helper('contacts')->__('Unable to submit your request. Please, try again later')); $this->_redirect('*/*/'); return; } } else { $this->_redirect('*/*/'); } } } ?> 

And for the form, I put:

<form id="contactForm" class="scaffold-form" action="<?php echo $this->getUrl('modalcontacts/index/post') ?>" method="post"> 

Upon submitting this form, I am sent to example.com/modalcontacts/index/post (not my real website), which is a 404 page, and no email is sent. I checked in the magento backend and it recognizes SiDev_ModalContacts as a module and it is enabled. And I have refreshed/flushed the magento cache from the backend. It seems to not recognize that my controller is there. What am I missing?

Thank you for any help.
