Support Forum

Every time that you post a problem, PLEASE add the Joomla and the extension's versions and revisions (for example: Joomla 3.3.6, Contact Enhanced 3.3.5), PHP version and Server's Operating System. If you only manage only one site it is easier if you edit your profile and just add that information to your signature. Don't forget to add a detailed description of the problem. If possible, write down all steps to simulate the problem.

Before submitting a new post, PLEASE make sure you are running the latest version, test in different browsers (IE, FF, Chrome,..) and clear Joomla and browser's cache after every change you make.

Also, most questions are already answered in our FAQ and in iFAQ and Contact Enhanced documentation pages.

Display contact form with sidebar info

12 years 11 months ago #6742 by vespera
I pretty much find my way around CE, but there is a thing that I just can't figure out.
I want to use the plugin to load a specific contact, so i use the {loadcontact} tag.
This loads the contact form, and, if I add, for example {loadcontact id=|00| map=|before_form|} I can even show the map, (before or after the form, with no option to adjust the map size).
What I would like to be able to do is to show this specific contact formated with the sidebar, the same way that it is shown when one clicks on the contact link in the category contacts list.
I've tried to use the module and call it in article with the {module [00]} (using the Content - Load module in article plugin), tried to change the Display Options inside the contact, and then also the Single Contact display in Options, but the only thing that I get displayed is the contact form and optionally the map, but not the sidebar with the adress, other info and map, like I set it to display when clicking on a contact link.
Any suggestions?

Dear Vespera,

The Main purpose of Contact Enhanced content plugin and module is to display the form. Neither of them is designed to display the sidebar or contact info.
If you want to display content on a "sidebar" inside a content item I suggest to do it via HTML something like this:
<div>
<div style="float:left;width:49%">{loadcontact id=|CONTACT_ID| }</div>
<div style="float:left;width:49%">YOUR SIDEBAR CONTENT</div>
</div>

I hope it helps.

Best regards,
