We are using the Links element in the Contacts component (we call this Articles for non-user authors) and need more links than what is there. Is this possible, and if so, how can we do it?

See:
http://legalgrind.powweb.com/joomla/index.php/attorneys/13-warren-s

for how it is used.

Your help will be appreciated.

Thank you!

I don’t understand what you mean clearly. Could you explain more? A snapshot with your annotation is very helpful to help me understand your idea clearly. Do you want to add more article link in Article tab?

This is shot from Admin of Contact form: Display: Show Links. It ends with Link E Label, Link E Url. I want to add Link F, G, H, et al.

This shows a Contact form from the Web. There are only 5 links listed. (Please not, I have changed the word Links to Articles through ftp.) I want more links listed.

I hope this is clear but if not, please let me know.

Thank you!

I want to add Link F, G, H, et al.

You add this code into /administrator/components/com_contact/models/forms/contact.xml

<field name="linkf_name"
type="text"
label="COM_CONTACT_FIELD_LINKF_NAME_LABEL"
description="COM_CONTACT_FIELD_LINK_NAME_DESC"
class="inputbox"
size="30"
/>

<field name="linkf"
type="text"
label="COM_CONTACT_FIELD_LINKF_LABEL"
description="COM_CONTACT_FIELD_LINKF_DESC"
class="inputbox"
size="30"
/>
<field name="linkg_name"
type="text"
label="COM_CONTACT_FIELD_LINKG_NAME_LABEL"
description="COM_CONTACT_FIELD_LINK_NAME_DESC"
class="inputbox"
size="30"
/>

<field name="linkg"
type="text"
label="COM_CONTACT_FIELD_LINKG_LABEL"
description="COM_CONTACT_FIELD_LINKG_DESC"
class="inputbox"
size="30"
/>
<field name="linkh_name"
type="text"
label="COM_CONTACT_FIELD_LINKH_NAME_LABEL"
description="COM_CONTACT_FIELD_LINK_NAME_DESC"
class="inputbox"
size="30"
/>

<field name="linkh"
type="text"
label="COM_CONTACT_FIELD_LINKH_LABEL"
description="COM_CONTACT_FIELD_LINKH_DESC"
class="inputbox"
size="30"
/>
before

<field
name="contact_layout"
type="componentlayout"
label="JFIELD_ALT_LAYOUT_LABEL"
description="JFIELD_ALT_COMPONENT_LAYOUT_DESC"
extension="com_contact"
view="contact"
useglobal="true"

It didn’t work for me … perhaps I did something wrong?

Snapshot of xml file:

Snapshot of Admin page:

Snapshot from Web – no link added

I appreciate your help!!

You try replace this code from /components/com_contact/views/contact/tmpl/default_links.php


foreach(range('a', 'e') as $char) :// letters 'a' to 'e'
with


foreach(range('a', 'h') as $char) :// letters 'a' to 'e'

php file

Your code is incorrect. (‘h’ without * characters), like this

foreach(range('a', 'h') as $char) :// letters 'a' to 'e'

Thank you so very much – it works perfectly now. The asterisks were added when I did a copy & paste … whoops!
