As usual, the contacts administration (backend) is done through the com_contact component.
Managing contact form is like for com_contact component, creating a contact page ("Contact NT").
Available languages (backend and frontend) : French, English and Dutch.
Available languages (frontend only) : Bosnian.
This version (1.1) works now with Joomla core SEF !
You can update without uninstalling.
Now, a support forum is available here : http://www.nouvelles-techno.fr/index.php?option=com_kunena
The drop down category section makes it easy to use headings like (sales, other, employment, problem with links)
First thing: Under Components>Contacts> Check your contacts and make sure your information is current as these are the contacts used in the plugin.
After installation go to
- Backend > Menus > the menu where you want the Contact link.
- Click 'new' and choose Contacts_NT > Contacts NT : Standard Contact Layout
- Fill out the Menu Item Details and Parameters (Basic), that's where you can find your items for the drop down list.
There are no other configuration options needed aside from the settings above.
Very nice work in a simple to use contact form!
Hope this helps and thank the developer..DONATE!

The Idea is quite simple for this kind of component, so I will not give you a good rating for many reasons:
I didn't have big problem with the language, although I had to guess what every registration field meant. Sadly, nowadays one cannot publish a component for Joomla and try to distribute it worldwide in a french-only website requiring registration (I am not natural born english speaker, but it's the way to communicate to the whole world mates).
But that was not the problem. I don't usually write feedbacks here, but I know from my experience in joomla how frightening is for newbies to find out what happened to your joomla installation when you install a component and the frontend sends a blank page with an error... You can be really scared... So developers should check such a simple component is working perfect with the last versions of joomla in an updated server... Because I had to remove manually through FTP when the frontend gave me an error. Besides I couldn't see any NT component installed in my component dropdown in backend...
Go on with the work mates.

Hello,
Sorry, but the website now includes several months at least translations into English, notably to facilitate the registration and downloads.
Moreover, the blank page you mention is probably due to the fact that the first version does not work with Joomla Core SEF...
Now the problem is solved with 1.1 revision.
Useful component, phone field, subject predefined select... multilanguage compatible..., anyway one general issue:
All the 3 administrators of a business (all in the category -Administrators) want to get the mail forwarded from the contact form at the same time. Any idea, please?
And, indeed Nicolas, as said before, you might proud of your language, but in web developement we ought to be caring for everyone... At least an English translation on your site, if you please... :)

The problem is now solved.
The site include (bad) english translations, and you can use the support forum ( http://www.nouvelles-techno.fr/forum/ ).
I installed and nothing happens. Maybe it works. But there is no documentation and, at they're site, everything is in Frech. Just wasted half an hour trying to figure out how this works but my com_contact remains the same. A good idea, but for me didn't work at all.

To set the page, simply create a menu entry, then adjust the page settings (like with the Joomla com_contact component.)
Contact management administration is via the com_contact component of Joomla.
OK, I must admit that I am not a frankophile so therefore I cannot and do not speak or read French. This extension requires registration in order to download and I have no problems with doing so except...
I don't speak or read French! If you want to require registration, please provide your registration form in multiple languages. Otherwise don't waste everyone's time requiring registration. After all, the world does not speak French.

The download pages are now in french and in english.
I like the component, it does exactly what it says.
However, 1 thing it does not do, which it seems all other similar components do not do either, is the ability to view your own contact info only, depending on who is logged in at the time.
So far, as the same as the rest of these, you can only select either by catergory, or by user.
The problem with this is, if User A logs in, he doesnt want to edit User B's contact info, he wants to edit his own.
If the creator would like to discuss this addtion, please contact me.
