This is a very good and simply useable form.

The only thing I miss, is a date label, so that you can choose a date for submitting special events or something.

and a copy function would be very nice, then it would be easy to make multiple forms which have to be almost the same.

It works very well. It's very simple to use. I had my first form up and running in less than five minutes.

It is also free, did I mention that? They even have a simple way in the component to turn off the 'powered by'.

I will be donating. We need more components like this one. They do the job, they do it right, they do it for free. It's what open source is about.

Thank you!

it's a really great component!

I fount all necessary functions. But it may be a lot comfortable if there was button something like copy form. Cause every time I got to create all fields from new.

Also I couldn't fix height for message field.

And captcha would have some more nice design.

But thanx a lot for this component. A tried before it something like 20 other components. And this component was best for me.

A very nice and simple component. We can use it already in our sites which are in development.
Keep up the good work!

Suggestions for next release(s):
1. Extra field - "LABEL" for inserting comment into the form or at any position near an input field.
2. A width field to adjust the width of an input field. So it can be adjusted for a better view in a template.

This is about the best non commercial extension in the category as it allows you to set the upload directory to a secure location (above public_html) on the server. There's a small compatability problem with the index.php hack used to insert the googlemaps plugin into contact form (makes the captcha image disappear).

I found this extension easy to use. One shortcoming was the lack of plugin processing for the description area. I have written a fix and sent it to Pierre.

I love this component. Easy to install and easy to manage. Perfect for making simple forms with the ability to store datas, which is perfect for cvs exports.

There is just a lack of documentation. You have to be used to create forms through other systems (like chrono form for instance) to work easily.

Anyway, great work, thanks a lot !

I am excited! I ran into a problem when I couldn't find a booking module for my DJ client's website, and this was the solution! Thanks, guys! Great extension.

Many thanks to the developers. After trying dozens of form components, i catched my favorite one. Many others provide complex functionalities but none of them gave the appropriate result. Great job! Thanks again...

Install went well, Unbelievably easy to use, you just have to play with it a bit. Totally intrinsic to Joomla which makes things much easier. I had to read the previous reviews to realise that there was a couple of issues with emails and to figure out how to add the forms as a new article rather than in the middle of an article as you would a module (unless i missed something. Better than one of the other top rated form tools that I tried) Cool !

A very simple and easy form to use unlike many of those that I tried. However, a few features are lacking like dropdown menu selection and funny thing like textbox border is missing for captcha when I view in FF3. However, I still appreciates the simplicity and ease of use of this form and I think the developer will do very well to proceed along this line.

The features I liked in Release1.2.0
- Small file size approx. 180kb
- Simple Interface to understand
- Easy to install and easy to understand
- Results can be stored and you can view and export
- Results can be Send to email
- Captacha and simple validation

Good start. Expecting more versions.

I don't know if I am using a newer version, but I didn't seem to have any of the issues posted by other reviewers regarding renaming database tables. Or perhaps I have just not come across that problem yet!

Installed with no problem. Worked well, very simple and straightforward. Very much unlike other form components that I have used that were confusing with tables and connections etc. I have so many other aspects of my Joomla sites to worry about that I really don't want to spend time on a form component that I will use to set up a form one time and then barely use again. This component rocks for what it is supposed to do - nothing too fancy, very simple out of the box, no steep learning curve.

It would be great if it included some default values such a Country and State drop-down list, and maybe a start-up sample basic form. But for a free component, it's the best I have tried so far.

The extension all the things I needed and it is pretty easy to install it and integrate with the template.

But as was said below I cannot make mailing function work. And this is something that needs to be corrected imo.

I pretty much tried all of the free (and many paid) form extensions and this is the only one that's got it all together. Some of the other extensions either look good, but function precariously, or function well but look 1997.

This one looks great (and is easily re-styled/skinned)and functions brilliantly.
It's got everything you need: captcha, all common field types, file uploads, post-submission confirmation, submission db storage, email forwards, and a ton of other features.

AND it's completely free. Furthermore it does not force you to backlink unlike some of the other extensions here. Backlinking is completely optional, and can be toggled within admin options. So you won't get a massive, out of context ad at the bottom of your form.

Ck Forms are easy to install and setup. :D

The BUT:
There are one problem that are not good at all, if you have IE 6 the form validation doesn´t work, you can send empty emails. But in IE7 and firefox it works great..

I am very happy with this product although i can;t find a support forum for it??

It emails nicely which the last review had issues with.

My problem is when you enter the "display data" area it hasn't uploaded the info.

I tried several of the different Form solutions for Joomla, but they were all overly complicated and had issues with SEF (search engine friendly URL's) I use sh404SEF and it was having trouble with the other form programs. Here's what I like about it.

It's very simple and straightforward, can't get any simpler.

You can make a menu link directly to a form, there is NO easy way to do this on a ton of the other form solutions.

Looks nice.

Bad:

Seems to have trouble emailing me the form results, I'm working on it now. But otherwise it stores the database info fine.

A very straightforward and solid solution.

First the good things.
Easy install, easy setup.
After creating a form just link it.
The best part is setting up the fields. Does not get any simpler.(i really dont understand who came up with the "form designer" idea which in other extensions, That is scary)
This is where the good part stops.
The select field is buggy. I added a field and then deleted it. After that it refuses to add anything. I just skipped a select field in the end.
The first time I installed it, it refused to send an email, but strangely started working after a few tries.
But still does not send email to cc(in email settings).
The form displayed properly on one site but the inputbox was giving a 100% width(which I corrected css)
On the second site. The input box was giving a proper width(that is the default) but the Tip icon was overlapping it.
I just could not figure out why. So this is where I am going to stop using CK forms.
I am also going to remove it from the other site I have installed. Just cannot trust this one.
I am sure if the bugs are cleared out and you can easly add select box or a select pull down menu.(with javascript validation and reCAPTCHA support).
Add the ability to copy paste html code(design the form in dreamweaver and paste the code) and this could be the "chosen" extension for joomla.
no support site/forum.
