I am trying to allow me to access the contact form (the default plugin coming with the package) from a page, not just the standalone page.
I would like to use the form from within other areas on the website as well.

I have no idea how (and if even) I can achieve this so I tried changing the hooks to page and some other things but except making sure the plugin dopes not work at all I cant get anywhere.

I hope there is someone who is able to help me with this :)

For first step try use read AJAX Helpers in Cotonti and in any tpl include html code an example:

XML/XHTML
1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
<div id="ajax_contact">
  <form action="index.php?e=contact" method="post" name="contact_ajax" id="contact_ajax" class="ajax post-ajax_contact">
  ...
  any your code from contact form
  ....
  <button type="submit" class="btn btn-primary">{PHP.L.Submit}</button>
  </form>
<div>

Thanks for that but I know how to include a form (with ajax). I was just hoping the default contact plugin could be used so contacts were actually written to the DB and any of the staff could reply. (easier than sharing mail accounts).
