I have tried it but now i get this error:
JForm::getInstance could not load file

This is wat i have edited:
<field name=”contact_VLOER”
type=”list”
description=”COM_CONTACT_VLOER”
label=”COM_CONTACT_FIELD_PARAMS_VLOER”
>
<option value=””>JGLOBAL_USE_GLOBAL</option>
<option value=”0″>JHIDE</option>
<option value=”1″>JSHOW</option>
</field>
<field name=”contact_ZONWERING”
type=”list”
description=”COM_CONTACT_VLOER”
label=”COM_CONTACT_FIELD_VLOER”
>
<option value=””>JGLOBAL_USE_GLOBAL</option>
<option value=”0″>JHIDE</option>
<option value=”1″>JSHOW</option>
</field> <— In contact.xml (in components–>com_contact

Now i can select to show that to fields.
$mailfrom = $app->get(‘mailfrom’);
$fromname = $app->get(‘fromname’);
$sitename = $app->get(‘sitename’);

$name = $data[‘contact_name’];
$email = JStringPunycode::emailToPunycode($data[‘contact_email’]);
$subject = $data[‘contact_subject’];
$vloer = $data[‘contact_VLOER’];
$zonwering = $data[‘contact_ZONWERING’];
$body = “Checkbox #:”$vloer $zonwering. “/r/n” .$data[‘contact_message’]; <– So that they would be send to. in components–>com_contact–>controllers–>contact.php

But it still don’t get a checkboxfield. and i don’t have a contactpage anymore.
I want a checkboxfield like this:
Where do you life?
USA
Netherlands
Germany

Hi

Maybe you can use an external resource to customize your contact form , take a look HERE

I know that that would be a solution but i prefer to use this one because of the layout of the page. And i would like to use that layout. is that possible?

Everything is possible , Try this other resource too maybe matching 2 informations will solve it

I think you can hire a developer to customize your form or adopt as final solution an external component as suggested above

I solved it! I made my own form and then i copied the company page. I removed the form and than pasted my own form in it. The only problem is that i can’t edit it in Joomla but that isn’t a big issue for me! Thanks for the support!
