I got into a bad habit of hard coding some things into my templates because I was too lazy to go about creating a proper set of files for a module.

I'd only do that if I wanted to reuse the new code. With Jumi, not only can I be lazy and good at the same time, but it's a perfect place to develop an idea before creating a module to house it.

It's wonderfully flexible. and endlessly useful.

This component is what I have been looking for.

The coolest things about it are what it does not have.

It does not have a complicated javascript layout editor, and I don't want or need one.

It does not attempt to do everything for you. It does what it says. It processes forms.

It processes forms very nicely too with neatly laid out emails for your client. It's simple, and it doesn't assume that you have never seen HTML before. That means that I can make forms that are standards compliant - my way, and they look the way I want them to. I can id and class elements the way I want it done. Outstanding! I can do my job now.

The best part is that you can add in your own PHP code, painlessly. In most cases I can do this using an include() so I don't have to edit PHP in the browser thankyouverymuch. The only time you can't use an include is in the form HTML itself. ChronoForms needs to see the form fields, but you can still use PHP there.

If you are reasonably knowledgeable about Joomla and PHP this is a time saver for reasonably sized forms-based applications. Nobody wants to write another forms processor. Really, they don't. It's tedious. This will do it for you and let you get on with the more custom features of the site you are building, like what happens before and after the form is submitted.

Even if you only know how to lay out a form in HTML you will find that this does everything needed for forms processing and your design does not need to suffer.

Just write your markup and go. Hooray!

Genius. Thanks. I love it.

This is very easy to install and use.
It's light on excessive chrome and unneeded features.
It simply does what it says and does it nicely.
Users should be aware that it breaks if you link to prototype in your template, and disagrees with the JCE utilities plugin for JCE Editor.

With this installed you may find that you have to use JQuery for any fancy .js you have planned.

If you don't need these things then go to it.

To use RunPHP with and editor such as JCE sumply comment out the parts that editors are likely to escape, such as quotes.
Note that php code below is commented using html comments. Output to be written to the page is uncommented.
