Database and export them to CSV format.
Fields can be validated as text, number, date and email. A File upload field is available. Forms created can be backup
and restored easily with one click. An HTML Editor is available and a Captcha code can be used to secure the forms. A plug-in and a module are available to display forms. The layout can be customized with CSS, custom text inserted between fields. Data saved can be displayed in the Front-end interface.
/* Important v1.3.5 its a security fix */
#####FILES UPLOAD not working####
other wise, back up restore and every other option is really cool.
anyone can just configure and start collecting data.
The frontend display is awesome!!!

This is really good, after tested some other forms. But, I need some help here:
1) How to restrict filetype for upload, eg. only jpg,png,gif (docx & others not allow)
2) Also restrict the file size upload for upload field.
3) Another challenge is restrict the maxlength & minlength of textarea (also text field), the field provided not work, or I didn't understand the corerct way to handle this field?
4) Text field if only for enter number, also seems not working. I tested but words still can entered and submit.
Hope anyone can help :)
Thanks!

This is a great little form app, and I've used it on several Joomla 1.5 sites. I'm just implementing it on a Joomla 1.7 site, and running in to a few problems - I'd appreciate if someone who's successfully done this could give me some hints as to what needs changing so I can update the code, as the app seems to be a wee bit unsupported.
Thanks all :)
Thanks all :)
This component works great, easy install, easy to make new form and to add fields.
It has many necessary fields for each taste and usage. (has Date!)
Also it has CSS editing available, to change the color of the fields to match the template.
Possible to remove resize handle for text area as:
.ckform textarea {
resize: none;
background: #fee3ad;
border: 1px solid #781351;
}

I have implemented CK Forms on a number of Joomla websites (1.5 and 1.7) for both private and commercial domains. Using CK Forms allows for easy and fast work-flow during the development phase of projects and on going content management. I have used it for simple newsletter subscription forms within a CustomHTML module to complex event registration forms or contest entries injected into articles. CK Forms is part of my default extensions list I install on any new Joomla installation. I highly recommend trying CK Forms before looking at commercial form extensions.
Based on the specs, my first reaction would be very positive. I have installed CK forms (version 1.3.5) on my Joomla (version 1.5.15) website (PHP version 5.2.17). Unfortunately, the submit-button doesn't work. I have used internet explorer (version 7) and firefox (version 6) to run the website. I contacted the development team several days ago, but didn't receive any reaction. Further the forum isn't active (Why?). It still doesn't work after I've changed the name of the button (based on information and advices that I found on the internet). I rated the extension as fair because of the lack of support and the fact that the most important button (submit)doesn't work.
Indeed, it's very good component, but i come across some problems: i've created a form with 22 fields, all nice and good, also created a page in the frontend to display the data forms saved, but since my form has 22 fields, only the first 10 fileds can be seen there; if i click on a submitted form i can see all the filled fields, but here comes the 2nd problem, on that page with all the submitted fileds, no button or link works including the Back to the list button, the only thing that works is to hit the back button of browser. Anyone knows how to resolve this?
Thanks again for this good component.

First I would say, great work! It was an easy install and it did exactly what it says it will do. The product needs some minor improvements, but overall there is nothing that would stop me from using it.
There are two reasons I did not give it 5 stars. First, there is no way to edit the data once it is in the database. I wanted to check if there was a solution for this...which brings me to the second reason...No support. The support forum is offline and I have not received a reply to the message I posted a few days ago using the contact form.

It's a great form, really complete, easy to use and customize.
I recommend it.
However it shouldn't use absolute links.
I had to change my folder name, and when a form was sent the redirect link kept sending me back to the old path (I search all files to change it without success). I had to install it again.
Besides that, I was able to do everything I needed to.

We are enthusiastic users of CK Forms and we have implemented an extra feature which we would like to share with you.
This feature has been made by me and my boss and we had it implemented in our CK Forms (1.3.5) to fit our purpose.
It’s basically a search and replace function which makes it able to replace field names by values in the recipient mail layout, by tagging the fieldnames.
Here is a small example of what I’m explaining:
Hello [{[Name]}],
Your registration has been made on [{[Date]}]
Etc..
It replaces the [{[Name]}] with the field value where the value is Name, and date as in the date which has been given.
I think this function becomes rather handy in creating your own template for your costumers/site visitors which make use of the CK Forms,
This gives the ability for site administrators to create their own house style email.
Code can be obtained here: pastebin.com/TWtqHyGd
(components/com_ckforms/models/ckforms.php)
Changes/Additions are made in lines: 514 to 550.
With kind regards,
Arjen Klamer & Martin Visser
