This is my first time using joomla. I don’t know if I’m using the concept of a Contact in the wrong way, but I have a Contact Us menu that I’ve created and I’ve added the contact details in. I’m looking to add a sentence or two of text above the contact details & the e-mail contact form. There doesn’t seem to be a way of doing this via the administration page. Am I doing the right thing? What do I need to do if I want this?
If you really want it above the contact details you have to work with a layout-override. There is no way to do this through the admin backend. In Joomla 1.0 it was only possible with a hack, now in Joomla 1.5 there is the possibility of layout override.
This article shows how it’s done.
If you want to see it live, install the beez template, which has overrides for nearly all core components of Joomla. So you can check how beez does it and then do something similar with your own template.
