Summary

Adds a conditional check before rendering the email form heading in com_contact's default template to allow flexible display control.

Changes Made

  • ✅ Added show_email_heading parameter to contact form XML configuration
  • ✅ Added language strings for the new parameter (label and description)
  • ✅ Implemented conditional rendering of email form heading in template
  • ✅ Defaults to enabled (1) for backward compatibility

Files Modified

  • administrator/components/com_contact/forms/contact.xml - Added new parameter
  • administrator/language/en-GB/com_contact.ini - Added language strings
  • components/com_contact/tmpl/contact/default.php - Added conditional check

Benefits

  • Flexibility: Administrators can hide heading via backend parameters
  • Accessibility: Prevents redundant headings when form isn't present
  • User Experience: Cleaner interfaces in edge cases
  • Backward Compatibility: Defaults to current behavior

Testing

  • ✅ No syntax errors or diagnostics found
  • ✅ Follows Joomla coding standards
  • ✅ Uses existing parameter patterns

Fixes #46445

@brianteeman Thank you for the review and the helpful feedback.
I’ve updated the XML to remove the redundant description and the unsupported useglobal option, and I’ve also added a default value of 1 to preserve backward compatibility.
Please let me know if anything else needs adjustment.
