The Best Component by mmandy, July 10, 2008

This is one of the best components I have ever worked with. I had to pay for a few changes but this component is exactly what I was looking for. ZERO installation problems. I never write any reviews but thought I should take the time to register and compliment on a job well done!!!!!

Very easy and complete by thepisu, July 5, 2008

With this component, I REALLY was be able to create a form in Joomla, with text, validations, and dropdown, without a line of code, and all from the Joomla admin panel.

Very good, specially for beginners and non-developers!

Brilliant Component by alternativeroute, June 25, 2008

This is a brilliant well though-out component. What has impressed me has been the little details that have been thought out. The forms are look good right out the box and with a little css they look even better. Some documentation would be good as I could not find any any. That said the interface is pretty intuitive. I would also suggest that you download the ArtFormsPlus module. The highslide integration into both the form component and the module is excellent. For an example of the highslide in action visit my clients site at www.malealeatours.com and click on the 'enquire now' button at the top right of the page.

Nice and smooth by difre, June 17, 2008

Just installed this component. I haven't tested it intensely but so far I must say that I really like this component. Creating forms is very easy now and the output on the frontend is amazing. It looks just great.
It also has a lot of cool feature and enables upload files.
This component is a must for Joomla 1.5 users.
Keep up the good work, I'm waiting impatiently for the stable version and hope it comes soon.

Buggy in Joomla 1.5.3 by wolfix, June 11, 2008

0 of 2 people find this review helpful:

Installation

When I installed the zip from my pc it timed out with a blank page, however it did install. I uninstalled it due to fear of an incomplete install. Re-installed via directory on the server; the only errors I got were language file errors.

Configuration

It seems to be a known bug that if you tinker with some of the items in the Configuration, it will break the entire Component and you will have to re-install. I tried to change the image used to signify 'required fields' and it broke the whole Component. I don't want to spend hours building a form and tinkering with the css to suddenly have it break and risk loosing everything.

Look and feel of front end

It is my opinion that their is too much customization to the form fields; text is too small, unnecessary back ground gradient images, etc,.

Unable to put a text sub-heading in the middle of a form to signify different sections.

I think this Component has a lot of potential, however, it's just not keeping up with Joomla versions as of Joomla 1.5.3.

Best,

wolfix

Nice! by lastboyscout, May 22, 2008

Very nice Forms-module. Sadly the popularity of this module grows beyond the limits of their site: It is shut down due to exceeded bandwith limits....

Although the module works most of the time; sometimes an php error is shown (Joomla 1.5x) but not in places where it hurts.
I've some issues with the language file (Dutch is present; but not selectable or functional) but there's the bugreporting tool for...

Despite of mentioned drawbacks; I'll recommend this one!

Works like a charm by tvkas, May 21, 2008

I had been using (or trying to use) other forms. FacileForms was getting botted to death and I could not get a CHAPCHA to work with it.
This not only works but was VERY easy to create a form and get it online.
I had almost no difficulty to get all of the options to work.
Thanks for putting this together.

Problem with Large Forms by kamudi, May 11, 2008

1 of 1 people find this review helpful:

Works fine for small forms however when got to 35th field of form and save it. It doesn't show up anymore. Preview and form are just blank when trying to display on page. Submitted ticket but haven't receive and answer on this bug.

Outstanding Form Component by JackB, May 11, 2008

I've lately built several Joomla 1.0.x and 1.5.x sites and adding custom forms seemed always tricky until I discovered ArtForms.

ArtForms is so easy to use and yet so powerful. After installing the component to Joomla 1.0.x or the new version for Joomla 1.5.x creating a new form with a few mouse clicks on the admin panel is as easy as making tea.

There is a large variety of field types with automatic validation and even an included date picker for date fields based on JSCalendar. Just set a field type to date and the form shows the date picker button by default.

Despite being beta I consider ArtForm for Joomla 1.0.x 100% stable. The new version for Joomla 1.5.x is working well and has only a few minor bugs on the admin part, esle it is working perfect.

Thank you Interjoomla for this excellent component!!!

Works great on 1.5 by Enzomaticus, May 5, 2008

I had a few glitches when I first installed but they all disappeared when I uploaded the update. This is a great tool for a website that needs to interact with customers. I'm still coming to terms with all the possibilities.

very good form by lcphotostudio, April 22, 2008

1 of 1 people find this review helpful:

** will not work with essential plazza templates**

but otherwise a nice form maker, I made a form in no time
very good product

Owner's reply:
hello lcphotostudio, that's because those templates don't have Joomla's 3rd. party support for head code, check this topic to fix that:

Making form with easy by myfia, April 13, 2008

1 of 1 people find this review helpful:

Well, this extensions make it easier for me to create forms - just follow the instruction, some experiment and get custom form.
At first I just unsure with export to xls, but it works.
Wait for stable release, and the docs/tutorial.
Hope this extensions still GNU/GPL ...it makes forms and rocks.

Very Robust, Well Built by lcdweb, April 12, 2008

This extension surprised me. The interface and options are very well laid out. It's very easy to have a working form in minutes. Great component. I hope they finish the 1.5 version soon.

A great form component by tomt, April 3, 2008

1 of 1 people find this review helpful:

This is by far the best form component that I have used the past few years. Installation, configuration and making the first form: it only took a few minutes (yes, i admit, I'm an experienced Joomla user). There are a bunch of extra parameters. And both admin as form looks great. A big THANKS to the developers.

I heartilly endore this! by motterj, April 2, 2008

1 of 1 people find this review helpful:

Installation was a breeze, and then I went on to create a custom Contact Me form within the hour without even reading the documentation!

Tip #1: beware of validating added fields. When in doubt, leave them unvalidated or else they may not work.

Tip #2: when editing fields on an existing form be sure to click the "Show All" icon to the right of Form Fields in the upper left of the Fields tab's page.
