Summary of Features
Features
Supports Joomla 2.5 and 3.0!
Eight configurable fields: you configure the labels and sizes
"From" and "Subject" fields appear automatically
"From" field is checked to make sure it's a valid email address (using regex, not a realtime check)
"Reply-To" header can be activated
Fields 1 - 8 can be set to "Active," "Required," "Hidden", or "Inactive" in the module configuration, as needed
Hidden fields will automatically appear in the email
Body of email message contains labels + user input data for active and hidden fields
Any of the 8 fields can be normal (text), textarea, radio buttons, checkboxes or dropdown (select)
You can configure a recipient of the submitted email form plus optional CC and/or BCC
Optional "Send Copy to Me" field or automatic user copy
You can set the space between the labels and the input fields
You can specify an optional redirect URL if the form is submitted successfully
Info in form fields can be either reset or retained after form submission
Includes a field to upload an email file attachment
Email attachments can be filtered by filename extension
Max length of each field can be set (thanks to Rui Castro Lobo!)
NEW!!! 26 language files are included: Afrikaans, Arabic, Bulgarian, Chinese, Czech, Danish, Dutch, English, Estonian,
Finnish, French, German, Greek, Hebrew, Hungarian, Italian, Latvian, Polish,
Portugese (Brazilian), Russian, Slovak, Spanish, Swedish, Thai, Turkish, Vietnamese
You can activate "Test Mode" to help you troubleshoot when installing
An optional "Captcha" can be activated
Uses PEAR library Text_CAPTCHA (included)
Requires that the GD extension be compiled with your PHP installation
Uses open source FreeSansBold.ttf font (included)
You can configure the height, width, and number of characters
Colors of the text, lines, and background can be configured
CAPTCHA files older than 5 minutes are deleted
CAPTCHA can be either an image or text
All configuration is done by module manager: no complicated components to install!
NEW: *all* fields can be either normal (text), textarea, checkboxes, radio buttons, or select.
NEW: Fixed bug in radio/button styling + when you select CSS and have the label appear after, "undefined" appears in the field.
Works just as advertised and a great, easy to use extension for forms that send simple yet complete emails.
I had a problem getting it to work, and they were extremely prompt and helpful in getting it resolved. The main problem ended up being my Joomla email setup anyway, so the extension itself is very solid and easy as pie to insert into articles.

Really good form builder, would highly recommend, easy to configure, just a pity the label alignment option doesnt work but overall great for the price lol

Mike -- thanks for the feedback! I'm in the process of getting a new release ready (1.8.1) which should solve the label alignment issue + (hopefully) provide a solution when Joomla cache is enabled (which currently prevents Simple Email Form users from using CAPTCHAs). Please email me (using the form on joomla.unlikelysource.org) to let me know if you want to test the new version.
Lately we have been going through a few different contact form components due to template code conflicts. . . Simple Email Form works flawlessly!! And I even contacted the developer Doug at unlikely source with a question on multiple file uploads and he updated the php file to add the functionality we were looking for!!
Couldn't ask for a better written extension or better product support!

This email form is just what I was looking for! I needed an easy form for an "Ask Us" section on our website.
It would be nice to be able to have two forms going to two separate emails in the same article, though.
Thanks

Have a look at the instructions for putting 2 forms into one article. Requires at least version 1.7.08, although the latest version is recommended.

This app is excellent and I am using it for quite a long time without any problem.
Is it possible to automatically upgrade to the latest version 1.7.09 through Update section of admin control panel?
I don't want to disturb existing settings by re-installing the extension.

Hi!
Really simple and awesome module to use for contact form.
But it would be even better if there was ability to disable the "subject" field, that there would be same options as for custom fields (Field 1, Field 2 etc.).
It would also be great if there was ability to integrate with ReCaptcha, like some new extra field.

Thanks for the suggestions. Others have asked for this as well. A bit short on time right now but I'll put this on my list!
This extension is simply excellent. It is simple effective, very easy to configure and works like an absolute charm. The captcha function perfectly, and more than anything else, great installation documentation - A+++
This module is great to put a contactform with recaptcha in an article. I used it in the dutch part of my customers website as well as in the french part, in Joomla 1.5. I also made a redirect page and i can receive copies of the mails that were sent via the form. It does what it says, no need to program, just use the module manager and article manager of Joomla Happy! Thanks!
