How to tick "Send copy to yoursefl" by default? Topic is solved

[bienthuy]

As title, in the com_contact form, there is an option call : "Send a copy to yourself"

I want this option will checked by default (current, it does not checked).
So, the question is, how can i make this option checked by default?

The proper way to alter forms is with a content plugin. The plugin would look like this:

Code: Select all

defined('_JEXEC') or die;

use Joomla\CMS\Form\Form;
use Joomla\CMS\Plugin\CMSPlugin;

class PlgContentExample extends CMSPlugin
{
	protected $app;

	public function onContentPrepareForm(Form $form, $data)
	{
			if (!$this->app->isClient('site') || $form->getName() !== 'com_contact.contact')
			{
				return true;
			}

			$form->setFieldAttribute('contact_email_copy', 'checked', 'true');

			return true;
	}
}

But because your change is cosmetic only (does not affect data filtering or validation), you can also use a template override. The file to override would be components/com_contact/views/contact/tmpl/default_form.php. In the override add this line:

Code: Select all

$this->form->setFieldAttribute('contact_email_copy', 'checked', 'true');
