Creating a Contact us Page.
Let's add "Contact us" page with an online mail form to your Joomla website.
- Step 1. First you need to create a new Contacts catagory. For this purpose go to Component->Contacts->Catagories :
- Step 2. Click on [New], since we plan to have a simple Contact us page, you should create only one single catagory again "General" and then click on [Save].
- Step 3. Go to Component->Contacts->Contacts :
- Step 4. Click on [New] and fill in the information. You have to make sure the email you enter is valid since all the mails you receive via contacts form will be sent to it.
- Step 5. In order to avoid your contacts name dupliacted later, from the right box "Contacts parameters" check the button Hide next to "name".
- Step 6. Leave the rest of the default options unchanged and click on [Save] from the top right menu.
Your contact form will be saved and you will be able to publish it on your site. More information on how to do this can be found on the next page.
