| The best Forms component by conlippert, September 17, 2008 |
|
I've been using Facile Forms for a couple of years now and still think it's the most powerful component out there. Yes, it's more complicated than most, but it's worth the extra time to learn.
Thanks Peter for all your work!

| One of the best components I have used by hmesfin, September 13, 2008 |

This is one of the best, if not arguably the best, component I have used. I am new to all this, and just registered to to add my 2 cents. A heartfelt thanks to all who worked on creating this component.

| What would I have done without this?? by johnlewisdesign, September 2, 2008 |

I just had a request for a MASSIVE amount of data capture off a form. The site was designed by a non-web savvy graphic designer, hence required a great deal of layout (new Joomla template from scratch) and a very exacting position of the elements, including an image, that all had to match the existing pages.
Imagine my delight when all this was done from within facileforms using a very handy live grid, to the last pixel, with ease, precision and some hard work. All in not a lot of time at all considering what was achieved. I built it whilst running the 'First form movie' video tutorial over at
http://www.facileforms.biz/wiki/Main_Page
in a separate tab, I would highly recommend it.
Upon first publish of a form with linked radio buttons, email address validation, checkboxes, textareas, you name it - the form worked PERFECTLY - saving me days upon days of endless positioning, styling and recoding.
I'd give FacileForms six stars if I could!
A massive weight lifted from my schedule, now I can get some well deserved sleep.
Essential install.

This is probably the best and most professional Joomla component I have ever used.
The ease of use is unbelievable. Make sure you check out the tutorial before you start off. Once you've done that, it's a breeze!
Simply amazing software, I cannot praise it enough. You can really tell with how much dedication the developers have gone into this. And to think that they provide it for free - that makes it even more amazing.
Well done - and thank you VERY much!

Used it in joomla version 1.0.X, perfectly to fit to every website. Sadly now I'm upgraded to 1.5, there is no 1.5 version :(

| Developer-less Forms by asciikerr, March 17, 2008 |

I asked our I.T. Developers for a simple form with less than 4 categories...they him-haw'd and said it would take "months" to implement such a thing! I setup my internal server, Joomla and installed Facile Forms...got it kicking and submitting emailing form results with well over 15 categories of submissions in less than two days!
I especially liked being able to change the text/button/content location in real-time and refreshing the results in multiple browsers (ie/firefox/opera) to find just the right fit. Even cooler was the option to export your forms so that others could simply import the forms you created/authored into their own FacileForms. Imagine a community of form creating kooks...how wonderful would that be?
The only downside is that I upgraded to Joomla 1.5, but that's my fault...it would be great to see this ported over to 1.5. If anything, I am tempted to downgrade my Joomla simply for the use of FacileForms...but I'll avoid it if I can.

Fantastic program and is super powerful. The best form development component for 1.0 hands down. It's to bad that development seems to have stalled out and is not compatible at this time for Joomla 1.5.

| I love this Form Tool by Nikijacob, January 22, 2008 |
|
If only the guy was still working on it, he seems to have disappeared on the website, with no new stuff in sight. If I am wrong please let me know.
Cons:
1. Something Built in the change the subject line
2. Form received in ugly, and un-configurable, I wish something was their to hide the headers if I want to.

| Not as it appears by ItsChris631, January 14, 2008 |

This app is powerful, and its developers deserve credit for that.
But anyone who says you don't need to know any coding is having much different results than I am. Even knowing a little PHP is causing me more confusion than benefit.
The tutorials on the site have errors in them, and after users point them out in comments the writers make no attempt to fix them, and once the tutorial goes wrong it is very difficult to get back up to speed from reading contradictory comments from users at the end.
I signed up for their forum over 24 hours ago, and my registration is still "Pending approval" because apparently an email confirmation like every other site I have ever been to in my life is not good enough. So I cannot get help on the forum or post comments to the tutorials.
If you have to make simple forms like email contact forms, and you have no coding you can do it, but if you plan on doing anything more complicated than that, plan to spend many frustrating hours and days trying to figure it out, and sign up for the forum before you download because they don't approve accounts quickly.
If this was better documented, and more accurately described I would have a MUCH higher opinion of this software, but I am rating it only as fair because they claim it is a lot easier than it is, make no apparent effort to correct their documentation, and have an unnecessarily long approval process for forum registration.

| Exactly what I needed by winterswolf, December 31, 2007 |
|
I have tried almost every Joomla form component over the last month. In FacileForms I found exactly what I needed. The flexibility of FacileForms is great - I have yet to find something I needed my form to do that I could not accomplish with this component. Two thumbs up!

| Perfect by panesarv, December 30, 2007 |

It worked perfectly for me. Just follow the flash tutorial on their site and off you go. I used their one of their samples to create my contact us form.

| Great extension by belak, December 10, 2007 |
|
I needed an extension that was cheap (donated $20) and that was easy to use. This fit the bill.
It was easy to customize using CSS and worked without any problems. The forum is great as well for finding answers to questions that could have been answered quickly had I read the documentation first :). Thanks.
