Before being able to add the contact form into your main menu, you should have already installed the contact module and configured the settings. Now, you need to create a way for your website’s visitors to actually find and access the form. You can add a contact link to your main menu via the Drupal dashboard.
- Log into your Drupal 7 Dashboard
- Go to Structure >> Menu
- Click Edit Menu next to Main Menu
- Click on the List Links tab in the top right
- Ensure you are on the LIST LINKS tab (tabs are shown in the top right) and then click Add Link in the top left
- Fill out the desired fields with the appropriate data.
| Menu link title |
This is going to be the actual text the users click on in the menu to get to this page. |
| Path |
As the contact form by default is located at https://domain.com/contact, enter contact as the path. |
| Description |
The Description field will display its contents when using the mouse to hover over the menu link. |
| Enabled |
The Enabled box must be checked for the menu item to be visible. |
| Show as expanded |
If this menu item has children, always show the children. |
| Parent link |
Parent Link is for use if you want to place the menu under another menu item as a child. By default, this is set to <Main Menu> so it is on the top level. |
| Weight |
Weight is a numerical designation for where the item will display in the menu. The lower the number, the higher or more to the left the menu item is placed. |
- Click Save
Now, when you visit your website, you’ll see that there is now a link to your contact from in the menu bar.
