Contact Form does not display
Hi guys,
I am struggeling around with Joomla 2.5 and try to get the contact form to work.
What I did is setting up a new Contact Category, and a new Contact attached to the new created category.
Then I created a new menu item, set it up to Single Contact.
Result in the page = Only the title of the contact form is displayed. No address, no form, no send button.
Any advices?
Thanks
KC

Re: Contact Form does not display
This may sound silly, but did you try clicking on words that say "Contact Form?" I think templates can make a difference in how the contact form is displayed, and I was afraid that it wouldn't be readily apparent that the user must click on the words "Contact Form" to get the form to appear. It doesn't look like a link in the template I use, and that's why it isn't obvious.

I click on the menu item CONTACT, another page opens with the title CONTACT, there is nothing else and nothing to click.

Re: Contact Form does not display
found a solution:
change menu item to External Link, as link enter only #.

Re: Contact Form does not display
I too am trying the contact form functionality on Joomla 2.5.
I create a contact category, add a contact to it.
Go to a menu and create "Single Contact"
When I click the link, all I get is the Dtails for the contact with no form.
I also changed the tab called "Contact Form" in the menu and contact (in contact manager) to set the option "Show Contact Form" to "Show".
But no contact form. I'm Stumped.

Possible solution...
SOLVED (at least for me).
I hope my solution helps others. I found the contact form didn't display simply because I in the field "Linked to user" (under the contact in the contact manager) I had left this empty.
I think Joomla uses this user to determine where to send the emails, so without it no form is displayed.
To recap:
1) Log in to the back end
2) Click Components --> Contacts
3) Click the Contact name which you linked to in a menu to have the form appear
4) Check that the field "linked to user" is actually linked to a user

Re: Contact Form does not display
Remember to change the Display format to plain.
Goto menu -> contact menu -> Contact Display Option ->Display format -> default is "Using Global", change it to "Plain"

Re: Contact Form does not display
For me, I didn't have to link to a user, but I did have to put in the Contact person's email address (even if it's not shown). Otherwise the form doesn't show even if it is set to do so.
