Embed the contact form in Joomla

Step by step

1. Log in to the administrator area and open the site modules (“Content”, “Site Modules”; in Joomla 3 under “Extensions”, “Modules”).
2. Use “New” to create a module of the type “Custom”.
3. Switch the editor to the code view and paste the two lines of your code.
4. Choose a module position, assign the module to the desired page and save.

The names of the menus may differ slightly depending on the version of your system.

What to watch out for

• The default editor removes script lines when saving. In your user profile, set the editor to “Editor - None” or “CodeMirror” before pasting the code.
• In addition, the text filter of your user group has to allow scripts: in the Global Configuration under “Text Filters”, set “No Filtering” for Super Users.
• If the form should appear in the middle of an article, load the module there with {loadmoduleid number}. The number is shown in the list of modules.

How to see that it works

1. Open the published page, not the preview in the editor. Some systems only run custom code on the published page.
2. The contact form appears with your fields and colours. If the place stays empty, the system has changed or filtered the code: check whether both lines arrived completely.
3. Send a test enquiry. It comes from noreply@ssl-contact.de. Check your spam folder as well and add the address to your safe senders.
