I have been using the contact form module. (the version i have installed is 6.x-1.14 but that was not a choice on the version drop down) I have wanted to add a phone number field to my contact form/s.

The Contact Form Field Module will do it - but a problem crops up with the form/s created by this - The Contact Form Module.

The problem is that the contact forms created by this module
1 . moves the "subject" field to the bottom of the form.
2. moves the form instructions from the top of the form to the bottom of the form just above the subject field.

Others have described the problem here

and the author of the Contact Form Field Module says:

This is about 'contact forms' and not about 'contact' module itself.
Let me explain,
'Contact forms' splits the form based on the category and it does not know about 'Contact form fields' module. To display all the fields added using contact form fields, the 'contact forms' module has to look in the table of contact form fields module. So, I believe, there a patch or two required in 'contact forms' rather in 'Contact form fields'.

Is a patch to fix this possible?

It sure would be great if these tow awesome modules played well together.

TIA

Steve

Hi Steve,

I have added a comment to the Contact Fields issue that should solve this problem. It seems many use these together so we do need to make them play nicely together. BAD MODULES!

Hi Geoff

Seems like the developer for Contact Fields - beautifulmind may be otherwise occupied. He hasn't responded for a long time.

Is there anything that can be done to move this issue forward?
Anything I can do to help?

Hi Steve,

I have added the necessary code to Contact Forms now so when it is enabled it checks to see if contact_field is installed and changes it's system weight. If you update to the latest version of Contact Forms 6.x-1.16 and then disable and enable it then they will work together.

Geoff
