com_contact has two types of fields mail and contact. mail are for fields that are added to the contact form. contact is for fields that are displayed with the contact details.

at some point in time a layout override was added for this. Its fubar and not actually needed because the rendering of the different field contexts is already handled in the views (defaulkt_form and default_custom_user_fields)

the main issues caused by these overrides is that the contact fields are not rendered the same as they would have been for an article (dt not dl) and the display of subforms is obviously completely wrong.

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Com content

• Create 3 text fields
• Create 1 subform field containing the 3 text fields
• create article and complete the fields

2. com contact - context contact

• Create 3 text fields
• Create 1 subform field containing the 3 text fields

3. com contact - context mail

• Create 3 text fields
• Create 1 subform field containing the 3 text fields

4. test

• create contact and complete the fields
• compare the display of the fields in the front end

Expected result

Fields are displayed the same across the two components

Actual result

com_contact has a field layout override that uses a dl etc instead of a ul AND the subform display is fubar

com_content

com_contact

Additional comments

@richard67 I cant remember if i am supposed to add these removed files to script.php or if you deal with it?

@bembelimen @roland-d to me this is a bug fix and should be in 4.1 but I suspect you will say it needs to go in 4.2?
