Pull Request for Issue #45867
Summary of Changes
This PR introduces two new configuration options for the Contact component (com_contact):
- Contact Page Title – allows administrators to define a custom title for the contact page.
- Email Form Title – allows administrators to define a custom title for the email form section.
These fields have been added in two places:
-
config.xml – for global component options (applies to all contact pages unless overridden).
-
default.xml – for menu item parameters (allows per-menu/page overrides).
The template file default.php has been updated to render these titles if provided, otherwise it falls back to the default language strings.
Testing Instructions
-
Go to Administrator → Components → Contacts → Options.
- Set values for Contact Page Title and Email Form Title in the global configuration.
-
Go to Menus → Main Menu → (select a Contact menu item) → Page Display Options.
- Set values for Contact Page Title and Email Form Title at the menu item level.
-
Navigate to the contact page on the frontend.
-
Verify:
-
If menu item values are set, they override the global config.
-
If no menu item values are set, global config is used.
-
If neither is set, the default core language strings appear.
-
Actual Result BEFORE Applying This Pull Request
- Contact pages always display the default titles (no way to customize).

I have tested this item ✅ successfully on 6c4ef61
Tested with JBT and Patch Tester
- Both titles can be hidden either globally or for individual menu items

Before proceeding further do we really need to add another set of options. This is easily achievable with a template override and I dont really see the benefit of adding these extra options - you cant have an option for everything
I have not tested this item.
I couldn't reproduce the starting situation with the test instruction
As the main user i need first to trash the checked out menu item
which generates the message
"The user checking in does not match the user who checked out the item."
on the home menu it says
"Can't unpublish default home"
So i fear i am on the wrong track

I was able to successfully complete the test. I was able to create a contact with my own title.
