Adding dgcontactinfo into field

Hi,

I am currently facing a small issue and currently need your help to solve this issue.

We are currently using this plugin extensions.joomla.org/extensions/contact...contact-details/2025 in a FC field, however the tag system of this plugin is different from other content plugins, the main function of this content plugin is to retrieve information (by field) from the Joomla default com_contact system and show it within a content, the tag is written as this:

The number 5 is the contact ID of the user within the com_contact. 'Image' is what I want to show in the content, that is, the image of the user in the com_contact.

So far, everything is easy, but, I do not want to have to include the contact ID each time a user will add an item within the frontend, what I want to do is to use some kind of syntax to auto-generate the contact ID, something similar to this:

But, in this case, we do not want to generate the user ID but the contact ID instead, can anyone please tell me how to do this?

an article about it is on faq

Yes you can use this:
Creating an automatic link to contact form

-- just in prefix/suffix use your text instead of the one suggested in the FAQ article

Hi @micker and @ggppdk

Thank you very much for pointing me back to this FAQ, I saw it and tried to use it initially but made a small mistake, that is why it was not working and I thought this solution will not work at all.

In fact, it works, the only thing is that, I forget to edit existing article and resave it for the query to work properly, now it works perfectly. I have another issue now but guess I will open a new thread since it does not concern the dgcontactinfo plugin at all but thank you again to both for the hints.

can we update This topic to solved ?

Hi @micker

Yes of course, the error was my fault, now it works perfectly, topic can be marked as solved. Thanks.
