Contact Form

Post by tamiliam » Sun Oct 19, 2014 2:54 pm

Hi,

I am trying to edit the standard contact form; so that it looks something like this: http://www.thefedonline.org.uk/staff/ge ... desmoulins

I wonder if there is an extension out there that already does this. I've checked most of the popular contact form extensions, and none appear to give this sort of arrangement.

Thanks in advance for your help.

What specifically about the display are you trying to achieve? The page looks like a standard contact form already included.

In the standard contact form, the field labels and text boxes are separated in two columns; I want the labels to be above the text boxes.

In the above example, the contact form also mentions message the contact person -- i.e. "Message Geraldine Desmoulins". In the standard format, it is simply "Send an e-mail".

Thanks in for your response.

You will need edit the template's stylesheet and set the labels class to display: block

If you use third party template which is subject to updates and does not have a custom stylesheet, you will need to make a duplicate of the default template then edit the primary CSS file.

The other option
Install the Multi-Task Scripter module from http://cmsenergizer.com/joomla-extensio ... k-scripter

Launch the module and in the textarea labeled Script Declaration enter the following

Code: Select all

.contact .control-label, .contact .controls {float: none; display: block;}
-css
Save the module to any position and assign to the contact menu item
