I was pleasantly surprised once I installed and setup this component. It is the only solution that allows you to make different contact forms - that you can link to different menu items. Quite configurable as well.

It will be great if this also allows additional - optional fields that can be included - like contactor's phone and country of origin.

The forms of your component don't accept accents in alphanumeric fields, but in many languages, like mine (Portuguese), names contain accents.

It's irritating for anyone that tries to write your name correctly, and the form requires that the person write it wrong or will not send the message.

Please allow accents in alphanumeric fields.

I installed AContacts, created a menu item linked to my contact, and website does not work anymore, simply I have a blank page.. Removing or unpublishing the menu item, site return to work. Maybe because I have enabled Friendly URL and mod_rewrite (standard Joomla 1.5 options).

This is a replacement for the core contact manager. Since the core contact manager cannot be uninstalled, you are forced to have two components serving the same purpose if you install AContact.

Since AContact uses the same database tables as the core contact manager (plus a few of its own), any changes made to contact information in either component will affect the other except when it comes to contact categories. AContact categories do not carry over to the core contact categories and vice versa. This causes problems and appears to be a bug or oversight.

There is also a problem with component title redundancy so you get "A - A" as the title if the menu item for an AContent page is "A".

AContact's plugins supply its main value: allowing you to link a contact item to a video from a variety of sources and/or a google map. These can only be displayed in popup windows from a link. You can also add visual and/or audio confirmation codes on contact forms.

This plugin gives some improvements to Joomla! contact management. The original one has ever been a little poor in my oppinion.
Nice plugin, thank's a lot

I tested this component today. There is an obvious bug in this component: when I choose category for an contact, it can't list the category created by itself in the drop down menu, but show me the categories from the Original Joomla! Contact component.

Another problem is, this component uses many language strings that similar to the Original Joomla Contact component, so why re-creat the wheel? Why not just use those language strings in the language file for Original Contact component? You know that this will save many time for translators.

Embeding video and Google Map inside the contact page is a good idea, but there is no instructions for how to do this. It just make users more confused.
