what fields to change in a new "contactus"page?

[terjum]

I've wanted to make a new contact-form very similar to the one in contactus. So i copied contactus.php and contact.tpl.php and changed all fields in those files that mentioned contact and the page id of contact to the ones i wanted in use for my new page. But it didn't work as I hoped. When someone trie to send a mail, nothing happens. Should I add something in some pages for it to work as planned and do I have to change more than the fileds containing contact?

If you are creating your own then you will need to make sure you include the post fields in the new php file. For example:
<input type="text" name="myfield" />
Will be:
$myfield=$_POST['myfield'];
