Have drawn a total blank and maybe it will remain this way

I'm wanting to insert a standard Joomla Contact Form inside an article.
I don't want to send people to another page where that form is.

My memory may be failing me but I figured I'd done this previously but I seem to now have memory issues.
Is the only solution to install an additional form component/module?

Context:
An article providing information about an offer to subscribe at X% discount.
Reader completes form and redirects to a thank you page.
Email goes to autoresponder which emails them with a discount code and link to site to make payment.

Thanks

Hi Andrew,

This isn't something I've done - I do myself use the rs forms commercial extension

Rob uses the Chronoforms extension on his sites

We either use loadposition to load the form in a module or use plugin syntax

Thanks Paul

I'm all for the minimal at present.
Was hoping I could do what I wanted without yet another install, looks like that's a no <sigh>

I'm sure there is an extension somewhere that can add the component to the page but I've never used one

I think I've only ever used the contact component itself once I think as I've always found it inflexible

But do agree with your sentiment on being minimal with installations

Hi

Here is a way to add in components to articles, Peter's extensions are well developed and supported although I have never had need to use this one personally.

Although if you are adding another piece of kit then it may as well be a form component. The core Joomla one works fine but does not offer much flexibility.

Hi Ian,

ahhh I was trying to remember that one - I think I will operate if I can't remember check regular labs

Hi Andrew

An alternative approach without adding anything could be to create the contact form from core Joomla with a menu item to display the form.

Then use a custom html module positioned above the component view of the form to provide the explanation and general text.

If I am understanding your requirement from the initial post this should work!

Ian

Good thinking
