In several places on my new site, I'd like to be able to link directly to a contact form, such as you did on your Joomla 51 site. On your site, "Contact Us", in the bottom left hand corner, goes directly to a Contact Form, which is nice.

I'm trying to do the same thing, but so far can only seem to link to a Contact, which only has the Contact Form on a tab at the bottom. And, on my Contact page, when you try to click on the Contact Form, it flickers strangely, and won't let you click on it - until you scroll all the way down the the footer, displaying the bottom portion of the screen. Only then can you get to the Contact Form. (see this here: http://counselinglibrary.org/index.php/about/contact)

I'd like to go directly to the form, from several "Contact" links in the site. Please advise.

Hi Carrie

In the settings to the menu item linking to your contact form select the 'Contact Display Options' tab and using the 'Display Format' tab you can set the type of form you wish to display. You can set this to 'Plain' to just display your contact details (can be turned off) and your contact form on a single page.

I clicked "Plain," and as you said, it displayed both the Contact Info and the Contact form. However, I just want it to go right to the contact form, as you've got on the home page of the Joomla51 site. So I set all the other parameters on the menu item to "Hide" (under Contact Display Options). This indeed hid the address, phone, email, etc. However, it left behind the two titles "Contact" and "Contact Form." (See this at: http://counselinglibrary.org/index.php/about/contact)

How can I hide those 3 words, so that page just begins (as Joomla51's does) with the message: "Send an email. All fields with an * are required." ? Also, is there any way to link directly to just only a Contact Form within an article or list, as a link? (Like my "Send us a message" link at the bottom of each page on my site.)

Hi Carrie

To hide these 2 titles using CSS try adding the following to the Custom CSS field of your templates parameters...


.contact > h3 {
display: none;
}

Awesome - worked like a charm. Again. :P You're awesome, Ciaran! I so appreciate your help!

Just curious - would these custom css codes you've sent me work in your other templates as well, or are they just specific to Grafik? After I finish this site I've got 3 more to build, and plan to use other Joomla51 templates. Is the code unique for each one, or would these codes that work in Grafik work in the others as well?

Hi Carrie

As long as your template does not have an overriding contact form this CSS should work fine. Some templates may not have a Custom CSS field available in which case you can simply add it to the end of one of the templates CSS files.
