Hi Bruce, I'm also interested in custom fields and actions as well as multiple contact forms for different purposes. I believe it's possible to do with a proper understanding of Qweb (https://doc.openerp.com/trunk/web/qweb/). You can edit the contact form by logging into your administrator account (on the master branch) and then go back to the website frontend and click on the contact form. Once you're there click Customise >> HTML Editor and you should be looking at the QWeb code for the contact form. Unfortunately i'm only just learning this myself so I can't offer any valuable input, however if I figure this out i'll post back here with an answer.

I spent some time poking around and here's what I found. 1. Submitting a form does not appear to send an email notification to anyone. At least I don't seem to have received one at my system email addresses. 2. A form submission creates a Lead with notes. I tested sending one that already existed as a customer, and it still created a Lead and did not connect it to the existing contact. 3. In the backend under Settings->User Interface->Views I find a couple of QWeb views that have the Contact Us page and Contact Us form code. I'm OK with changing HTML, but how do I add a field? Don't I need to add the fields to the database first?

Hi Bruce, In regards to email notifications, have you setup an incoming/outgoing mail server in Odoo? There's a quick tutorial that can be found here - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoHPgtsM2fA if you need. In regards to adding a field, are you wanting to add custom fields or ones that are already existing somewhere (eg. extra information on leads such as address, etc.)?
