	<?php include("document_path_of_panel_folder/contactform/home.contact.php"); ?>


3. For sample integration code, please refer to the source code of this file. To do this, open the file with your text editor.

** To find your 'document_path_of_panel_folder', check the path['docroot'] value from the panel/config.php file 


TIPS
----

You can put your front-end file in any location you like, but put the call to the Panel Admin folder using the 
relative path. 
   
Example, if your front-end file is at http://yourdomain.com/contact.php and the Panel Admin folder is located 
at http://yourdomain.com/panel/ , use the code below.

	<?php include_once("panel/config.php") ?>
		
	<?php include("panel/contactform/home.contact.php") ?>
