Before being able to add the contact form into your main menu, you should have already installed the contact module<\/a> and configured the settings<\/a>. Now, you need to create a way for your website\u2019s visitors to actually find and access the form. You can add a contact link to your main menu via the Drupal dashboard.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Log into your Drupal 7 Dashboard<\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Go to Structure >> Menu<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Click Edit Menu<\/strong> next to Main Menu<\/strong>
    \"drupal_contact_nav_1\"<\/a>\n
    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  4. Click on the List Links<\/strong> tab in the top right<\/li>\n
  5. Ensure you are on the LIST LINKS<\/strong> tab (tabs are shown in the top right) and then click Add Link<\/strong> in the top left<\/li>\n
  6. Fill out the desired fields with the appropriate data.
    \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
    Menu link title<\/th>\nThis is going to be the actual text the users click on in the menu to get to this page.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Path<\/th>\nAs the contact form by default is located at https:\/\/domain.com\/contact, enter contact<\/strong> as the path.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Description<\/th>\nThe Description<\/strong> field will display its contents when using the mouse to hover over the menu link.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Enabled<\/th>\nThe Enabled<\/strong> box must be checked for the menu item to be visible.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Show as expanded<\/th>\nIf this menu item has children, always show the children.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Parent link<\/th>\nParent Link<\/strong> 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><\/strong> so it is on the top level.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Weight<\/th>\nWeight<\/strong> 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.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

    \"drupal_contact_nav_2\"<\/a><\/p>\n

    <\/div>\n<\/li>\n
  7. Click Save<\/strong>\n

    Now, when you visit your website, you\u2019ll see that there is now a link to your contact from in the menu bar.
    \"drupal_contact_nav_3\"<\/a><\/p>\n
