Very easy by stevenjo57, May 8, 2008

I used this plugin to create a 5 page working form very quickly. I really like the ease of making the form and the built-in ability to make multi-page forms.

Would like to see some way to add scripts and functionality to the submit buttons. Maybe there is, but I haven't found it yet.

Anyway, it does what it says it does and does it pretty well.

Missing Important Function... by neriv, May 6, 2008

This is a Very nice forms component and quite intuitive! However, one major flaw with native 1.5 version is that it does not function with legacy 1.0 turned on in Joomla 1.5. That is a major flaw! Legacy is key while many major components are being updated to native 1.5. I am sure many Docman and Community Builder users will not want to adopt this forms component if they are unable to use legacy. I recommend allowing for the use of legacy.

Owner's reply:
Dear Neriv,

Thank you for your report. Frankly speaking we have missed the issue.

I think we will include support for Joomla 1.5. legacy in the following update.

Thank you again - it is important for us to get the feedback, we try our best to include the features people ask for.

Not as good as it was claimed to be by zakir, April 15, 2008

I purchased it a few days ago due to some good reviews but it seems to be very basic form component. It seems that they have not thought of many functions for example, your form cannot be posted into a module or embedded into a page. So basically all you can do is to put a link on the menu item for the form and it will appear on its own.

I wanted to do the following which I cannot do;

* I wanted to publish it in a module but it is not possible. So you are stuck to publish it from menu item and only in a central position

* Secondly, I wanted to embed it in the webpage so my other text and service/story etc could compliment the form but it is not possible. So I cannot have this form on the webpage but it can only appear by clicking a link on the menu item.

I sent two messages to support team with the above issues and the only reply I had was; it is not possible, Or they will keep it in mind for the next version, and finally they told me to upgrade it when they have the next version out. They did not offer any help to resolve the issues now when I needed it.

I cannot understand why this form component is listed as "HOT" when there is nothing hot about it.

So if you don't mind a simple form that is just linked to the menu item and cannot be published in a module or embedded within a page then go ahead and buy it. But if you want the flexibility then look elsewhere and let me know also if you find anything better.

Owner's reply:
Dear Zakir,

I think we have done our best to describe the features the component has.

Yes, it is very simple, as any developer can simply put some php on its HTML form and that's it - no need for the component at all.

The funny thing is there are so many people that do not take the trouble to simply read (or even view Flash)docs - and then blame developers of not corresponding to their ideas... Well, it is very easy to make all your ideas come true - just developer yourself and that's it. Or read the docs to know in advance what you get.

OK, let us come back to our support. What do you think they can do for you??

They can not offer anything, as there are no features you want, as you haven't read the docs to know it.

So should they make a customization of the component especially for you for free or what?

Explain me when you buy a car - and them come back to the sellers filing a claim it doesn't fly and and has no autopilot to take you home - what do they do? Do they normally just reconstruct the car for you so that it correspond your needs? Lucky you are...

You have been informed, that the features you need will be included in the next release coming this month. You will be able to update them for free.

great by timophey, April 2, 2008

Well, the previous review confused me, yet I've tried to give it a shot.
Looks like the easiest WYSIWYG form creator I've seen ever - quite simple yet I've done everything needed.
And by the way - the support answered my questions within 30 minutes. Looking forward to getting the 1.5 version

Doesn't work by brianpeat, March 31, 2008

I'm waiting to hear from the developer, but so far, this component was a waste of $25 for me. The layout system turned out to be messy, and at any point in time one of my static text boxes will get a border around it. The only way I found to remove it was to delete the item and create a new one.

There also doesn't seem to be a way to make the form longer than the layout area, and so far I can't get the submit button to do ANYTHING.

I'd steer clear if you need something that just works.

Owner's reply:
Hi Brian,

We do our best to support people ASAP, so the patch for your case has been sent in two hours after your addressing.

Sorry for the possible inconvenience.

Finally, a wysiwyt form creator by WebJIVE, March 17, 2008

1 of 1 people find this review helpful:

I have been waiting on someone to finally create a WYSIWYG form tool for Joomla! I have multiple customers with form tools and they are a challenge to support/train. Now when a customer needs a form tool, I can buy this tool and have them watch the presentation as a training aid and I'm done.
