FAQ: VCard on Contact Form - hide, disable, make optional

[kenmcd]

Update
In Joomla 1.0.x - VCard now has a parameter setting to Hide or Show

From the Joomla Adminstrator (back-end) top menu:
Components > Contacts > Manage Contacts > Edit contact name > Parameters tab
Find on the Parameters tab -  VCard > Select Hide or Show button



Old info for Mambo 4.5.2.3

Q. How do I remove the "Download information as a VCard" from the Contact Us page?

A. Add the code below to make the VCard notice an option.
The code below will add a radio button in the Contact/Parameters in the Joomla back-end.
This will allow you to select whether the VCard info appears or not.


Find file:  administrator\components\com_contact\contact_items .xml
Add this at a nice spot. (I did put it just before show/hide image.)

Code: Select all

<param name="vcard" type="radio" default="1" label="Vcard" description="Show/Hide the Vcard">
<option value="0">Hide</option>
<option value="1">Show</option>
</param>

  It appears based on my sites logs that someone has figured out how to harvest Joomla e-mail address via Vcards even in they are set to 'hide' in the contact properties.
