HOW TO add a contact form into an article and link it?

I might be totally stupid but I searched all help forums and FAQs and couldn't find it:

How do I add a contact form (custom form) to a page (article) including Captcha?

So far I only found the Syntax {loadcontact 1} in the demo which does not work with me.
Can't I simply add elements like {name} or {message} which are defined in the custom field section?

How do I add the Google Map feature? I see that I can activate it in the Contact administration, but can I handle it on the Contacts page differently?

Lot's of questions but maybe I'm not the only noob...

Dear BoMo,

The syntax is correct, however in order to add the a Contact Enhanced form to an Article you need the Contact Enhanced Plugin:
ideal.fok.com.br/joomla-extens...d/plugin-contact-enhanced.html

The Google maps feature have to be enabled in Contact Enhanced -> Configuration. The maps is configured in the Contact Enhanced -> Contacts.

Please watch this screencast below (please ignore the security configuration for now):

Best regards,

Thanks... just bought it.

Why don't you include this in the CE package for 18US$??? Would have saved me about 3 hours... Even the information that I would need it wasn't there...

Dear BoMo,

I'm sorry about the inconvenience.
I might include the Plugin in the component package for the next version. I'm working on a module that will be included as well.

Kind regards,

Thanks Douglas

But some more questions:

1. With {loadcontact contactname} only the custom fields are shown. How can I show all contact related data including all enabled fields of a contact?

2. On my local test server (XAMPP) the Google Maps are shown in the Admin Panel but not in the web-site? Why? I have a Google API...

3. Email field is without background and border even when I override the style. Why?

4. Strange line breaks after some fields after I added a fixed width in Attributes. Why?

5. Can the text of the send-button be changed? How?

Dear BoMo,

1- The Plugin was made to display a form only. With you need to display all that information, than why don't you use the Contact Enhanced menu item instead.

2- Are you using the plugin? The Maps are displayed when you use the Contact Enhanced -> Contact Menu item;

3- That's probably an incompatibility with your template. Some templates adds a special styling to email fields; In the post below I've addressed a fix, however it might be different to your template:
ideal.fok.com.br/support/forum...y-of-the-field-email.html#3018

4- That's odd. I would have to see the webpage in action, however it is a bit hard since you are running from your local server. Can you post the exact code, so I can apply to my testing server?

5 - Sure. Contact Enhanced uses the Joomla Framework, so you have to edit the language file like in any other extension. in other words you have to edit thsi file: [Joomla]/language/en-GB/en-GB.com_contact_enhanced.ini
More information about the language files you can read here:

If you have any other question, please do not hesitate to ask.

Best regards,
