Joomla show only Contact Form

Question

I have created a contact form for my Joomla site. There are two items in that contact page as Contact (my contact details are listed here) and Contact Form. I don't need that Contact item to display. i need to show only Contact Form. How could i remove Contact item and display only Contact Form ? ( I'm using Joomla 2.5 )

Answer 1

Don't edit components/com_contact/views/contact/tmpl/default.php the whole point of template overrides is not to touch core files. Instead, make a copy of

components/com_contact/views/contact/tmpl/default.php

and put it in

templates/YOUR TEMPLATE/html/com_contact/contact/default.php

Now you can make all the changes you want to that file without having to worry about an update overwriting your edits and if you mess up the file all you have to do is make a new copy and start over.

As for the changes you want, all of the various contact details are display between line 19-65. There is a <p></p> at the end of the contact info display. You can simply remove any or all of that code as needed.

Short cut:

Go to Components -> Contacts -> Options -> Contact -> Display format: Plain
