Display several contacts with one instance of the module. The option to make the name a link to the corresponding contacts page. Options for separating contacts include “Div”, “Break Tag”, “Horizontal Rule” and none. Each line can be styled separately adding the CSS classes to your style sheet.
This module is intended for displaying your contact information in different places besides just a contact page. The module takes the contact information from the Joomla contact component for whatever ID is specified, then displays it where you choose in your template and it only displays the information you need according to the parameters you've set. It's also great for displaying different bits of your contact information in separate locations within your Joomla template. Using the Joomla copy module function, you can have several instances displaying different or identical information.
Such a useful little module, I install this by default on EVERY site I build. I think it's great that it doesn't have any css or html hard-coded so it just uses your site css and you don't have to remove a load of superfluous stuff.
As others have observed, it's incredible that what this module does isn't in the core functionality - given that Joomla! provides a contact manager, this module provides the next logical step: using the information stored in the manager. The entire extension is simple, easy to customize, and works exactly the way it should. I'm thrilled to see support for 1.6/1.7 now - I've been holding off on upgrading my website while I waited for THIS module to be updated - displaying contact information really ties the site together, and no other module gets it quite right.
This was exactly what I was looking for. Just a little thing : I had to change the XML header from "?xml version="2.5" to ?xml version="1.0" , otherwise Joomla didn't detect a valid xml file and aborted the installation. As I read earlier in the comments that someone had problems for the installation, maybe that was the solution.
Nice little module that displays contact information where you want it to do so. Note to developer, you don't have a contact email address on your site so: there is a bug in the xml file for J1.0 which means that it won't install. The bug is in the description end tag. Also if you added the extra parameter - Then the module can be styled by the template. Apart from that a nice little module.
Excellent module only thing missing for me is an option to sort/order the contact information at will.
This module does mostly exactly what I need, that the core Contacts stuff doesn't handle: being able to make a page with multiple contacts at once (besides the ugly list), being able to insert specific contacts in specific places.
The one glaring oversight is the inability to show the contact's image (I use headshots for all my contacts).
The only other complaint/suggestion I have is that this would be a ton more useful with an accompanying plugin that would include contacts in articles.
Overall, great job.

This extensions works as advertised. I would also give it an excellent rating except for the native Joomla contact list being displayed after someone sends an email using it. That display of Joomla's contacts destroys the overall effect of a clean interface that DigitalGreys has achieved.
Just what I needed - I was going to write this module and thought I'd have a quick check to see if anyone else had already done so!
After a bit of tweaking I managed to add in Tel: and Email: which were not present, and with the instructions for adding CSS styles was able to customise to the site.
Thank you, saved me a lot of work!

Great module wish it had a mambot to go with it so I can put contact information in content items.
This module is a must have for my church's website because it allows people to connect easily with the right people.
Aside from one small error which I already reported to the developer, I found this mod to be a perfect fit.
The only reason I rated it good and not excellent is that it does not have a way to integrate contact info into components or offer an option to integrate the email form into other components.

This module is great.
I was looking for a module like this, but didn't found one.
It was neare that I started writing my own, but I decided to look one more time if I couldn't find a module. And there it was. On the top of "New Extensions"-list and I almost shouted out of happiness...
Thanks...
