With this menu item type, you can display contact categories as well as contacts for submitting queries. This menu item type category has the following menu item types (see Figure 7-52):
- Featured Contacts: Displays all the contacts that are marked as featured in the Contact component
- List All Contact Categories: Displays all categories of contacts in the site
- List Contacts in a Category: Displays all the contacts from a specific category
- Single Contact: Displays only the specified contact
The List Contacts In A Category menu item type is used to display all the published contacts of a given category. Recall that in Chapter 5 you created two contacts, John David and Purchases, under the Suppliers category. You saw that the Single Contact menu item type was linked to the specified contact and how a contact form was displayed when the menu item was selected. The query entered in the contact form was e-mailed to the linked contact.
