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.

Is there any way of using this twice on one site?

I was just wondering if there is any way of using this extension twice on one site, for example in a 'book online' area, and in a 'contact us' area.
I would like the forms to be different if this is possible.

Thankyou very much for any help given!

Dear Daniel,

Yes, there is a way, which is the same way for most modules, if not all of them.
1- Select Extensions --> Module Manager from the drop-down menu on the back-end of your Joomla! installation.
2- Click on New, to create a new instance of any Module, including Ajax Contact. Then you will be taken to a screen that lists all of the available Modules.
3- You can select the desired type either by clicking on the Module Name or by clicking on the Module's radio button and pressing the Next button on the toolbar.
4- Now you just have to set a name, select a position and save it!

if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to ask.

Kind regards,

Thanks so much for your quick and efficient response :)

I have one other question, i have the module on my site on two separate pages, and im looking to have the 'send' button slightly different on each of them.

On one page i want the send button to say 'book online' and on the other page, i want it to say 'contact us'

Is this possible?

Thankyou!

Daniel

Dear Daniel,

That is possible, although not trivial.

You will have to create one image for each button, change the CSS file [Joomla]/modules/mod_ajax_contact/css/style.css and a Module Class Suffix to each module;

How's your CSS skills?

Kind regards,

Dear Daniel,

You can edit the CSS file [Joomla]/modules/mod_ajax_contact/css/style.css and set #ajaxcontact input.inputbox to a fixed width in pixels, by default it is set to 95%. For example:
#ajaxcontact input.inputbox{width:200px}

By the way, I love stars! :-) Thanks!

If you need any further assistance, do not hesitate to ask!

Best regards,

Ahh brilliant!

Thanks fantastic,
in the css (when changing the send e-mail box), how do i refer to the send e-mail image, like what do i need to style with the css to change the image?

Sorry if that doesnt make sense!

Dear Daniel,

Follows these steps:
1- Create two images for your buttons and upload to [Joomla]/modules/mod_ajax_contact/images/;
2- In the module parameters set Module Class Suffix to booking and the other one to contact.
3- Add the following lines to the CSS file [Joomla]/modules/mod_ajax_contact/css/style.css:
.ac_email-booking #ac-submit{width: 28px;
  height: 55px;
  margin: 0;
  padding: 0;
  border: 0;
  background: transparent url(../images/button-booking.png) no-repeat center top; /* There is no quote, the forum adds it automatically */
  text-indent: -1000em;
  cursor: pointer;}
Of course you will have to change the values (width, height, background) and do the same for the .ac_email-contact #ac-submit (ac-submit is the id for the button);

I believe that's it.

Best regards,
