Joomla - Contact Form - Miscellaneous info above form

Question

I want to add a new contact form with some extra information.

• The first screenshot shows that I can add: 'miscellaneous info'
• The second screenshot shows the result: This info is at the bottom of the contact form.

Can this 'miscellaneous info' be put at the top of a contact form?

Answer 1

to do that first of all you need to create a template override of contact form.

To do so:

1. Open your template folder and create html folder if it doesn't exist
2. In html folder create folder com_contact if it doesn't exist
3. In com_contact folder create folder contact
4. Copy /components/com_contact/views/contact/tmpl/default.php file to /templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_contact/contact/default.php

5. Open your newly copied default.php file find the following line anywhere you want (after or before another elements):

   echo $this->contact->misc;

Note, in some templates you might already have /templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/html/com_contact/contact/default.php file. Then you just need to customize it for your needs.
