Did you switch to contact form context Mail?

No look at my screenshots

You need to set them for the context Mail, otherwise they will appear on contacts.

I cannot switch from contact to mail , and if I select mail I cannot create a custom field
no idea how to do it
and no idea how to set a contact custom field to mail, there is no option for it

In the list where the fields are displayed (as shown in my screenshot of the first comment) select mail. Then hit the new button and create your field.

ok got it ! , the field is displayed but not as radio buttons
sex (optional)

<div class="control-label">
            <label id="jform_params_field_mail_sex-lbl" for="jform_params_field_mail_sex" class="">
    Sex</label>
                            <span class="optional">(optional)</span>
                    </div>

added another field -> Job (text)
it's displayed but disabled and disabled = no in the settings

<div class="controls"><input type="text" name="jform[params][mail-field-job]" id="jform_params_mail_field_job" value="" disabled="">
</div>

And now the tab Fields is not displayed anymore

This fields do belong to the front end form. You will see the fields on the contact form on the front end.

no they are not on the frontend form
the text field is disabled and the radio buttons are not displayed

the code displayed on front end

text field disabled
radio button not displayed

You need to set the edit value permission for the public group to allowed.

in User Groups > Edit > allowed , nothing changes
in the field itself > Permissions > all to Allowed , but nothing change

and allow editing to public for all is not what one want, one want only permissions for contact custom fields

I was talking about the "Edit Value" permission

ok now it works for textarea but not for radio buttons, they are not displayed

<div class="controls"><fieldset id="jform_params_field_mail_sex" class="radio"></fieldset></div>

Concerning permissions, see #12693

@infograf768 I have set the permissions but button radio are not displayed

I meant that permissions are flawed imho in com_fields. They are unsufficient at best.

@infograf768 please discus the sense of the new permission in #12693 and not here. The problem is that the checkbox is not shown properly.

@laoneo I did something wrong with radio buttons or do you get the same result than me ?

thanks a lot for your work and I keep on trying all :-)

Yes, also on the back end. I try to fix it...

Glad to hear that the rest is working. Please test #12698 which should fix the display issue for radio buttons and checkboxes.

Not sure if I did it right
libraries/joomla/form/parameters/radio.xml
the xml value now :

<field
name="name"
label="JLIB_FORM_FIELD_PARAM_RADIO_MULTIPLE_VALUES_KEY_LABEL"
size="30"
type="text"
/>

doesn't work , no radio button in frontend

and I have another problem in backend, the tab fields doesnt exist anymore

You need to save the values again when you edit the radio field.

I saved the values again

but what I get is wrong

the displayed code

<fieldset id="jform_params_field_mail_sex" class="radio">
<input type="radio" id="jform_params_field_mail_sex0"
 name="jform[params][field-mail-sex]" 
value="M">
<label for="jform_params_field_mail_sex0">1</label>
<input type="radio" id="jform_params_field_mail_sex1" 
name="jform[params][field-mail-sex]" 
value="F">
<label for="jform_params_field_mail_sex1">F</label>
</fieldset>

it should be

<input type="radio" id="jform_params_field_mail_sex1" 
name="jform[params][field-mail-sex]" 
value="1">
<label for="jform_params_field_mail_sex1">M</label>
<input type="radio" id="jform_params_field_mail_sex0" 
name="jform[params][field-mail-sex]" 
value="0">
<label for="jform_params_field_mail_sex0">F</label>

in the admin panel there is no fields tab anymore

this fields tab exists in com_content

Send a copy to yourself should be just before the button send email and not between the core and custom fields but maybe it can be fixed with view overrides

thanks for your work

if I submit the contact form I get that email

This is an enquiry email via http://192.168.178.20/j37/ from:

job: photographe is the custom field type= text (it works)

The render notice should be solved with the merge of PR #12729.

The key value confusion is discussed here #12739. You need to flip the values and keys in the list definition.

Can you please test it with the most actual code from staging as most of the issues you experience should be solved now. Thanks.

I never know what to download and install exactly, is there a very las version of joomla with your code ?

thank you

You can download the latest builds from here https://developer.joomla.org/nightly-builds.html.

new install J37 last version

same radio buttons Field, I get the email

This is an enquiry email via http://192.168.178.20/j37/ from:
NAME <myname@gmail.com>

MESSAGE

<dl class="fields-container article-info muted"></dl>

with dl class="fields-container article-info muted"... instead of the radio value

and as I said before the fields tab is not displayed any more in the contact form edit, it's missing

<ul class="nav nav-tabs" id="myTabTabs"><li class="active"><a href="#details" data-toggle="tab">Edit Contact</a></li><li class=""><a href="#misc" data-toggle="tab">Miscellaneous Information</a></li><li class=""><a href="#attrib-display" data-toggle="tab">Display</a></li><li class=""><a href="#attrib-email" data-toggle="tab">Form</a></li><li class=""><a href="#publishing" data-toggle="tab">Publishing</a></li></ul>

displayed in com_content but missing in com_contact
<li class=""><a href="#attrib-fields-0" data-toggle="tab">Fields</a></li>

If I create a field group my-fields it is not displayed in the box Field Group Type or select a group , even by typing

any news ? :-)

I need to test that, sorry for the late response, but I was occupied with some other things.

no problem ... I wasn't sure if you had seen my replies, thanks for your work

I'v just tested it with the latest code from staging and it worked. Here is a screenshot about my form

And here the raw output which will be sent by mail

This is an enquiry email via http://joomla.box/cms/ from:
Test <test@test.com>

Demo

Dep: Accounting, Development

So I suggest that you are doing a new installation of the most actual Joomla code and then redo the test again.

Can we close this one?

I guess we can close this one as, as I and other have been testing contacts extensively in the last weeks.

Closing as there was no response.

the new fields are disabled

Check the permissions for the field!

Thanks but what should be the permissions ? that it works as expected for everybody

ok now it works but if I get the email the custom field is displayed in that way

<div class="field-container" data-alias="">
<span class="field-label">telefon: </span>
<span class="field-value">0</span>
</div>
`

how can I customize the email ?

thank you

That doesn't really makes sense. Can you open please a new issue which describes the problem and what do you expect for the fields? Thanks.

I have really no idea how works Github and where to open a new issue

I am using the 3.7 final version
if you write a char like ä or a letter with any accent on custom field type list you get that error
