Creating a menu item to a contact form - single user. This site only has one user - the original SuperUser. This is the person I want to be the contact. But the SuperUser doesn't show in the selection box so unable to chose him/her.
single-contact

Is this expected behavior please?

(To recreate on a site with no users except the original SuperUser - go to Menu >>new menu item>> and create a new one - 'contact form, single user' and try and choose the SuperUser as the contact. )

Have you first created the Contact and linked the Contact to the User in the Contacts Extension BEFORE attempting to create a Menu link to the Contact ?

(oh how Joomla makes life complex....)

Steps:

  1. Extensions -> Contacts -> Contacts
  2. New
  3. Name it - select a linked user
  4. save and close
  5. Menus -> main Menu
  6. New -> Menu Item Type: Select -> Contacts ->Single Contact -> Select Contact : Select
  7. Then you will see the contact ready to be linked to

Power in Simplicity....

Nothing to fix. No Issue apart from understanding.

Phil - thank you! I was only trying to set up a quick contact so I could test one of your PRs. Much appreciate your kind answer. I need to remember that 3.4 is still Joomla and not some alien CMS I just met ;)
