Specific functionality
Features that are not supported by the standard core Contacts
component have been added throughout the component's releases. These features required new fields that can be added thanks to the Content - Add key contact fields
plugin. With Joomla! 3.7 custom fields, it is now possible to associate those features with custom fields to get the same functionality and flexibility that were enabled by the Content - Add key contact fields
plugin.
The following feature - field associations are just informative for versions prior to Joomla! 3.7. It will confirm that features are available if the required fields have been enabled in the plugin.
In Joomla! 3.7 and over, it is possible to associate a custom field of the proper type to a specific feature.
| Company | Select which field you want to make available for the company information. It will be used primarily in the vcards outputs |
| Department | Select which field you want to make available for the department information. It will be used primarily in the vcards outputs |
| Maps | Enable the Mapfield in the plugin or select a custom field of type urlthat will contain Google Map link information. Among other things, contact addresses can be linked to a Google map with this feature. |
| Birth date / Age | Enable the Birthdatefield in the plugin or select a custom field of type calendarthat will contain birth date information. It can be used to show a contact's birth date or age |
| Facebook, Twitter ... | Enable the associated social field in the plugin or select a custom field of type textor urlthat will contain social media information (for instance, if the type used is text, the content could be johndoewhile the field of type url could contain https://twitter.com/johndoe). |
Custom fields associated with a feature will not show in the selection of fields (Contact Information
tab) in the views and in the module. They will be available under that feature instead.
