QContacts Popular ComponentPluginLanguage

QContacts is a contact manager component derived from com_contact, the standard component distributed with Joomla!, and offering several additional features. 1) More contact fields: Yahoo Messenger Id and Skype Id to provide your visitors with an alternate way to send a message to the contact. 2) Up to 6 custom fields can be added to the contact form. You can choose each field's type (text, textarea, radio buttons, checkbox, drop down list) and whether the field is optional or required. 3) An anti-spam verification image (captcha) can be added to the form.

Contacts data and categories inserted in com_contact can be imported into QContacts. Online documentation is available at the website.

Plugins

Search plugin to make QContacts managed contacts searchable with the standard Joomla search box.

Version 1.0.5
A maintenance version with minor bug fixes and a few new features, see changelog on the website for details.

Version 1.0.4
- Contact form standard fields (name, e-mail, message) can be made optional or hidden exactly as custom fields.

- A custom path for the folder containing contacts images can be set.

- E-mail containing form submission results can be sent from admin e-mail (set in Joomla configuration) in place of e-mail submitted with the form. This may solve issues of undeliverable e-mails on some servers.

- Submitter IP address can be included in e-mail with form submission results.

- Contacts lists are now sortable by a default field.

Version 1.0.3
- captcha appearance can now be fully controlled from component configuration: captcha width/height, code length, font/font size, text and background color, vertical and arc lines on/off, lines color.

- More types for custom fields: text, textarea, radio buttons, checkbox, drop down list.

-Custom *and* standard fields width and order on the form can be set from component configuration: custom fields are no longer mandatorily positioned after standard fields.

- All contact fields can be displayed in list of contacts viewable from Contact Category Layout links. Each column width and order can be set.

See Changelog on the website for other minor changes.

A great well thought out component and great support. I really appreciate the developer taking the time out to show how to expand custom fields even further and to provide good support documentation.
Well done and thanks.
Since Joomla 1.5.x has no built-in CAPTCHA engine, it is very annoying that sometimes the default com_contact can't stop spam emails.

This Qcontacts component solved this problem smoothly! It has its own CAPTCHA, so we don't need to depend on anything else.

Only one suggestion: if the author offer more CAPTCHA fonts, that will suit most templates. Thanks.

Fantastic job! Congratulations and many thanks! I was looking for this kind of functionality and found it only in commercial components.

Captcha works great and out of the box without the need to modify core files as required by many plugins and components offering captcha.

I would like the added ability to redirect to a thank you page after submission of the form, but the lack of this feature does not diminishes the fantastic job therefore I am rating it as excellent with five stars.

Thanks a Million

I've spent some time to find a component with captcha support: I've tried a lot of plugins, extensions, etc.

Finally I discovered Qcontacts: Eureka!

Great component, good support, it works perfectly: excellent work!

Thank you very much!

Easy to use and install. Works right out of the box. Solved a number of problems with the default contact component.

Installed correctly on both Windows and Linux servers running Joomla 1.5.10, qcontacts worked perfectly! Great component!
QContacts is a great component, it's one of the first components I always install after installing Joomla!

Great support forum with fast response.

Keep up the good work Massimo!

This is an excellent compoment.
I think must be include in official rerelease.

Captcha and custom fields is the best features.

Well done,keep developing...

Excellent component!, I rate good(not excellent) because when our site has large number of customers (>2lakh) you may not be able to create contacts in the admin form.. This is due to the listing all the contacts in that page.. which tends the site to time out..

Other functionalities are excellent.. and excellent support..

Thank you for this useful and multifunctional Component. :)))

Easy to install and get setup and running. Absolutely NO knowledge of forms required. I was truly amazed at all the great features this component offers and would use this on any of my Joomla sites.
byguusd on January 28, 2009
I like this tool very mucht because because you can build a personal form without programming hassle.

Wat it makes excellent for me is that it integrates with Joomfish 2, although you have to do this manually.
bybryant on January 18, 2009
This product takes what the built in contact manager does, and improves on it significantly. It is a very well written product.
bybalam on January 15, 2009
try others, with captcha, they kinda work,
captcha is very temperamental,
this component has been working sience install
I really recomend this
thanks to the developer for this component
First: thank you for this great extension!.
I can only imagine one improvement: the possibility to copy/move a contact, from one category to another one (as you can do with articles in joomla).
Thank you once more!

This is a well written extension. It installed with no problems, is easy to use, and has a lot of expanded functionality. I found adjusting the templates to suit my needs simple.

A new version (1.0.5) was released after my initial installation. Upgrade when without a hitch and added some functionality I can use.

The support forums are very helpful and the creator is available through the forums to point you in the right direction.
This component was easy to install, and worked out of the box.

It also has joomfish support which is great.

Drawback - as one of the previous reviewers mentioned it would be a major plus to have a custom thank you page get shown after the form is submitted.
byjoomlabill on January 3, 2009
I was having someone compromise my Joomla standard contact form. THIS component is SWEET. It was easy to download, imports existing Joomla contacts and categories, and captcha enables easily. TOP NOTCH. THANKS a bunch!
hello dear developer,

i simply have to say: i love it!

I don't write reviews often, but felt compelled to write one for this extension.
This is simply outstanding. Well finally, an easy way to efficiently customize your contact form.
I installed this and once tested - had it up and running with a CAPTCHA very quickly.

many many thanks - mille grazie - merci bien!
you guy rock
