My questions to any gurus here...
A. Whereis this AddOn installed into ? Its not in the packages folder ?
B. I would like to edit the names of the fields ? Pointers ?
C. I would like to add more fields? Possible or lost cause ?
D. In the Message field ( textarea box ) , i would like to add in some predefined text
I wouldnt mind editing some of the php code of this add on, but if there is a better add on or better approach , I would like to know. Thanks.

B.) /packages/contactform/blocks/contactform/view.php - editing the code in between the <form> tags allows us to change the name of the fields.
C. Stuck ... Out of my league
D. I could edit the placeholder text at /packages/contactform/blocks/contactform/view.php , lame , but the best i could do.
Why do you not use the built in form block? There you can add multiple fields.
You have a documentation for this here (Legacy Documentation for Version 5.6 and prior):

@typoman76 - Thanks.
Did not know about it.
So this allows us to build an email form ? Any constraints you are aware off ?

Just to complete the conversion for the next newbie.
The built in form block does allow an Email Contact Form to be built with captcha support.
1 minor limitation - length of the text fields cannot be adjusted. So ended up using text areas ( rows set to 1 ) , so as to get uniform length of the all the visible fields.

A. ) Looks like the AddOn goes into the /packages folder and not into the /concrete/packages folder. I looked into the /concrete/packages folder and it was empty. Did not notice there was a /packages folder in the root folder.
Why are there 2 packages folder like this ?
