Introduction

Contact forms, Forms, Development, Development Tools

The form generator mod_qlforms is based on the Joomla! xml form generation. Any parameter (calendar, text, email etc.) is at your service.


You can use it as:

  • usual form features:
    • contact form
    • sendcopy implementation
    • works with J! captcha plugins
    • major survey jumping from one form to the next
    • store all data in database via J! messages component
  • developement features
    • custom validation class
    • custom preprocessing of data
    • custom functionality via predefined class
  • paid version
    • fill database table
    • send/store files

Validation both via Javascript and PHP via Joomla! Data is sent via email to a contact email address. Also possible is cascading the forms, so that you can generate a major survey jumping from one form to the next. There are many more features (e. g. use captcha plugins and prepared class to do "something else", means to add your own code), see yourself:-)

As knowledge about xml formatting and Joomla! form generation is needed, mod_qlform is a useful and mighty tool for developers.

All form fields see here: http://docs.joomla.org/Category:Standardformfield_types

Wow, have been using qlForm form most of my joomla project which involves form.

I recently encountered a challenge of doing something else with the form submission, i.e. autoresponse to email.

And the developer was timely in is response.



Thank you Mareike.

The code you sent was helpful. and i guess i can do more things with this module now that i know how to get form input value. :)
At first: from developer point of view, this is a very nice module, because there is a documentation, very fast and excellent support and much configuration possibilities. I propose this solution to everyone and want to give a special thank to Mareike, who gave me the excellent solution to prefill the form via GET.



It's amazing!
For me as a developer, this is the best tool in order to create forms. Instead to do many clicks and to move form fields pixel by pixel, i can simply use the well-known Joomla forms XML.



Good idea, good work. Thanks!
Owner's reply: Thank you very much for your review!! I really appreciate it:-)

For all non-devs: As many people (some reviewers, see two reviews below) wished better styling possibilities, mod_qlform offers now style changes via module parameters.
I tried several form extension, but qlForm is the best one. Simple and fast.

And if you have a problem, support by email is faster than the wind!



I rated the extension "Excellent" because there ins't the option "More than excellent!"



Many many thanks to Mareike.

Very reliable

This is one of the best forms,mind not its free. its fantastic
Took me more than a day to add second form page and after 2 days styling css with no luck...I gave up. It's good to have all options under the fingertips but it's bad if you have to customise something.

This makes it very difficult for me to get the result I need. Now I want to find something else or create my form with PHP.

Appreciate their offer to make my form, but I don't like to ask for unpaid help for free plugins.
Owner's reply: Hi,

thank you for your review.

Concerning css:

mod_qlform produces a very clean and solid html code. Thus it is easily accessible for css commands. Just use basic css knowledge (float: left; clear both; a. s. o.).

Concerning module assignment:

mod_qlform is just like any other module in Joomla! that you assign to a menu item in a module position. Even several usages on one single page is possible.

Greetings
Mareike

PS: I will consider offering basic style parameters in backend for easier usage of this module:-)

Very reliable and flexible

I find this extension very useful. It is easy to design forms with it. The documentation is helpful, the extension is very flexible and reliable.

Perfect Support



Posted on 13 September 2013
Apart from being an exccellent module that makes creating forms a breeze, also the support is superb.



I had an error on my page with one of the module settings.



Sent an Email to the developer. One hour later she released a bugfix update. Th error was gone.



I love this module and use it on many of my sites.



Many thanks to the developer!
Owner's reply: Thank you for this positive review!
Always at your service!

And I'd like to seize the opportunity to say thank you to Maksim, who's just sent us a brandnew Russian translation!
