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.

× Contact Enhanced is a contact component manager created to replace Joomla! core contacts component and add lots of advantages and new features (see Features ) and it offers many plugins and modules for several different purposes,

Are the custom fields “Searchable” and acts as filter in the Search Module ?

Example, If I add the custom field “Boroughs” or something like “Specialties” can I have in the search module a added filter “by Boroughs“ or “by Specialties”

Dear Chacapamac,

All Contact Fields are searchable and you can change which fields to search for in the Component Options. See screenshot:

However currently the only filter options are those in the screenshot below:

For the next 2 releases we plan to add this feature you are requesting.

Best regards,

“For the next 2 releases we plan to add this feature you are requesting.” Cool , do you mean you will be able to add custom filter ?

Dear Chacapamac,

I'm planning to use Joomla's new Custom Fields (com_fields) feature (J! 3.7) and add it to Contact Enhanced with filter options. I have suggested a change to com_fields database table which will allow us to easily use Joomla! Custom Fields in the search/filter. Hopefully it will be implemented in Joomla.

I'll have to wait until my suggestion is approved or not before we start working on this new feature.

Best regards,
