Mad4Joomla is a very easy-to-use Joomla component for the creation of email forms. Preferences of this product are a better usability, classification in categories, working with templates, helptext to formfields, file upload as attachment, special routing technics to destination email addresses, integration of content in form pages and a very special new captcha technique. Thereby it is possible to build complex and huge contactsystems. Examples: jobs, reservation, contact, donations, polls etc.

Simply the besto form generator by biracunha, November 17, 2008

Simply excelent. The best form extension that I´v found. Ease to use withdout using programing. Superb interface!

Fast + friendly support by fabiolino, November 14, 2008

I've installed it for table reservations - it works easily an fast. Perfect. Two things we would add: The functionality that the sender receives a copy and that a bcc: mail (also cc.) could be send to different adresses.
I had some questions during installation that have been answered very quick, competent and friendly. Thanks !!!

Just about perfect by bbw, November 10, 2008

I can write html forms in my sleep, but was having problems with handwritten forms and validation within joomla. Could NOT figure out chronoforms or facileforms, and was just beginning to wrestle with fabrikapps, when all I needed was simple email forms - No elaborate order forms, surveys or whatever. Then I stumbled across Mad4Joomla forms and I had a custom maintenance request form up and running within 30 minutes. I was joyful in job again! ;-)

In other words, if I can drive it, YOU can drive it!

Great Component by philmarib, October 14, 2008

As a web-newbie, I have gone from avoiding forms to practically using a form as a selling tool for a site! Well done! There is no turning back! What a great component - I am impressed.

Great component by sanniep, August 24, 2008

This component has an excellent structure. You can categorize the forms and use templates to add standard fields to forms which makes it very easy to add and maintain you forms. The captcha is more advanced than the standard captcha, giving your form a more professional layout.

By far the easiest one I've used - and it's been quite a few by btdeitrich, August 22, 2008

I've spent hours in the last week trying to get different Joomla form components to work. ChronoForms was way too buggy, RSForms lacked some stuff I was looking for and didn't seem very intuitive.

I downloaded Mad4Joomla forms and within minutes, had forms running with none of the previous bugs I was having with the other components (very frustrating items like blank emails coming through, CSS styling looking very unprofessional, etc). The submitted form template from this component (what I receive in my inbox) required almost nothing to set up and came through so clean and easy to read - very professional looking. The forms are very easy to config, and actually lay out the most professional looking of all components I've tried without having to resort to CSS hackery.

The best thing of course, is that it's free. I had considered JoomlaForms, but it wasn't free which is why I looked for something else, and I'm sure glad I found this. Use with confidence!

I wish there was a 1.5 native version, but it runs just fine in legacy mode currently.

If I could give it more than 5 stars, I would.

Good job but lack of UTF-8 support by baijianpeng, August 2, 2008

2 of 2 people find this review helpful:

I tested this component today. It is very easy to use. The multi-language interface works very well, it can auto detect and pickup my language file.

But, when I enter Chinese characters into any of those fields - Title, Description, Question, etc. This component can't save them. If I open a saved item to edit, I found all those Chinese characters were turned into question mark ??? or just vanished.

My testing website was built with Joomla! 1.0.15 Chinese version, using UTF-8 encoding for characters. I think this component lack the support for UTF-8 or double byte characters. Please fix this. I will send the author of my Chinese translation later.

Thanks to the authors.

Owner's reply:
I updated the com package. it should work now cause i used utf-8 for db tables. if not please send me a response email to joomla@mad4media.com
