Congratulations joomla 1.6 and issues

Congratulations to the Joomla team for making 1.6 happen!

Today I found following issue on the admin section. some time this not be a issue, but I am stuck on that point

In joomla 1.5,when u install any component and once u add it as menu item, there is option to setup "Parameters (Basic)" but not like that on joomla 1.6.

And we confirm com_google is work fine with joomla 1.6

add custom field to com_google

Suppose that u need to add extra field call "Phone number" on your contact us page. Follow the steps bellow.

1.Open

components ->com_google->views->google->tmpl->default.php - on the front end

see the line no 302 and add

code to default.php file

2. Java Script validation

see function comGoogleFrmValidate(comfrm) on default.php file

and add to following code

user_tp_val= document.comGoogleForm.user_tp;
if(my_name.value == '')
{
errorStr += "Add Tp no\n";
user_tp_val.style.borderColor  = "#FF0000";

}

3. Open controller.php file

components->com_google->controller.php

4.see the line 29

and modify the 'function sendMail() '

$user_tp= JRequest::getVar( 'user_tp', 0, '', 'text' );

And aslo update

$body = "From ".$friendEmail."\n".$messText."\n".$user_tp."\n";

if not clear ple comment
