The “Get in touch/contact” page in the quickstart for Jadecor displays in two columns, with info on the left and the form on the right. When I just install the template I get a single column with an accordion with an ugly blank space on the right. Screenshots below

A pointer to how the quickstart got this into two columns appreciated.

Thanks

When you installed your template, did you do so utilizing the Quickstart + Sample Data installation process ??

@daveburstein,

You can change the display format in the settings of contact. For example, in contact page of our demo site, we display info of a contact named Amajin Decor, you go to backend > Components > Contacts > Amajin Decor

Navigate to ‘Display’ tab and set ‘Display format’ to ‘Plain’: http://prntscr.com/3jckd1 and also make sure that you set to show the contact form in ‘Form’ tab next to it

Saguaros’s suggestion worked for us to go to two columns.

In order for us to best assisting you, please provide a screenshot, a link to your dev site, and more description of what do you want to achieve.

Hi PMnawainruk

So basically I’m doing a little core hack so I can add some additional fields to the contact page and I’ve changed all the files I need to including “/public_html/components/com_contact/views/contact/tmpl/default_form.php” which is the actual form, however that must be being overridden, but if I look in “/public_html/templates/ja_decor/html/com_contact/contact/” I excepted to see it, but it’s not there, so have you got any ideas what I’m missing

Cheers

James.

Hi James,

If you want to customize the default form for the contact page, you can override it by copying the core file of contact component:
/public_html/components/com_contact/views/contact/tmpl/default_form.php

into the com_contact folder in JA Decor template:
/templates/ja_decor/html/com_contact/contact/

and make your own change there.

Hello, like thewebmaster, I also have trouble creating a new contact page that looks like the one in your demo. i have set the appearance to “Plain” and the form is visible but the layout is still single column.
http://demo.gilda-art.gr/en/contact-gilda

Can you pls tell us what you did to fix it so we can fix it ourselves? What did thewebmaster do wrong (and me obviously)? That would be very helpful for all users.

Also, although I understand why some people insist on installing sample data, they must also understand that it’s not always possible to do that. Sometimes it’s more trouble than worth it. For example, why should you install sample data when you are migrating a 1.5 site? Chances are that you are going to loose all sample data as soon as you migrate your data from the old website. Especially if you are using extensions like MigrateMe.
