The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I have been using this extension for about a month and have been very happy with it. It's clean, simple and easy to use yet has many additional features not available in the core contact component. I am using it to gather specific information for booking group events and it does everything I need it to do. The support is fantastic as well. Response time was immediate. Thanks Douglas!

I have try almost all free and paid Form component and this match totally my need. I was searching a simple form for a specific project and this is the best for me. It is very flexible and versatile and Douglas take care to his customer... I like the fact no millions of feature/options is available (sometime very useless when you want simply a form).

A must have..Thank Douglas !!

I downloaded and installed the most recent version and there was a small issue with the code. The developer quickly sent me the fix (within minutes).
Also got quick response to issues that were my oversight and not an issue with the software.
Very impressed with the customer service as much as the code.
Thanks!

I was looking for a contact extension to offer more flexibility and greater security than the standard Joomla contact module. Being a total n00b with Joomla I did a lot of searching, reading,website viewing etc.

I settle on Ideal's Contact Enhanced. Being so new to Joomla I ran into issues which the author of this component quickly answered and it allowed me to get this component up and running quickly and securely.

A big thank you to Douglas for creating a true quality extension which performs as advertised. Installation is a snap. The documentation took a bit of getting used to but serves the purpose. What can I say about support except WOW. I needed some custom work done which was completed in a flash and like everything else it worked as promised 'out of the box'.

I would like to say:Thank you to Douglas Machado.
He always provide the flexibility for my wanted and support.
Great work Douglas~

I have tried several commercial joomla form builders and frankly they were a big mess. The resulting forms looked like they were from the olden days of the internet. The Ideal form is ajax and is great looking with very neat error handling. It is exactly what I was looking for. Customer support is excellent, but you probably won't need it. Thanks so much for this great little contact form creator!

I am not that good at Joomla, but after tryed a long time to get the database in Joomla to axcept the needed files I gave up. I e-mailed Douglas, told him about my problems and after a short time he had fixed it. It was a excellent service we got from Douglas and now it is working great.
A special thanks to Douglas.

Had a few issues getting it all up and working correctly. Sent an email to Douglas. Had the issue resolved in less than a day. This guy's on top when it comes to customer support - and the components pretty damn cool too.

Appreciate all the help Doug.

I recently purchased contact enhanced after trying many different contact forms and registration modules and I'm glad I did so. It's very straight forward and offers alot of flexability. I also had the developer add a registration feature to contact enhanced for a nominal extra charge so the custom contact form also adds them as a registered user. I also had the developer modify his Ajax contact module into a Ajax register module - which is turning out to be a great investment. I have not received better communication and support from any other Joomla club or developer. You won't be disappointed here!

This is an excellent addition to the form components for Joomla! It's simple to set up and use and did exactly what I needed it to do. I was looking for a form that I could customize, that would send results via e-mail to my client and that would allow me to redirect the user to a new page or a page displaying the results. I didn't need to store results in a database and I did need a way to include the form within a content article, rather than having a stand alone page.

This component and the companion Contact Enhanced Plugin by the same developer did the trick!

I must also echo what has been said here about the level and quality of support provided by Douglas. I had a question about the plugin that I didn't find answered in his forum, so I used the contact form on his site. I received a response within minutes and a quick solution for the issue.

Just a fantastic experience with a component and plugin which I recommend most highly!

I am by far the most difficult to please, novice joomla user you will ever find. I'm a sales guy doing all of my own development, and in 98 out of 100 cases, these extensions are impossibly frustrating, even with paid support...

This is the best, easiest to use, completely intuitive, professionally supported component we have worked with in two years development. Nuff said.

Get it - you won't be disappointed.

Support for this component is excellent, oftentimes receiving feedback from support tickets within 24 hours. Version upgrades are regular and take into consideration user feedback for feature enhancements. This component is well worth it's modest cost.

The perfect contact form. It has spam features, file uploads, and custom fields. Plus more. Worked straight "out of the box" for me. No issues whatsoever.

The component worked great. I recommend this to everyone that is looking to add Captcha security and or the ability to customize contact us forms.

We installed this script approximately 1 week ago and it does exactly what is advertised. We ran into a few minor issues due to our specific needs and our limited Joomla! experience. Doug was fantastic!!! He immediately replied to all our inquires and provided fixes for all issues we had almost immediately. Your not just buying an extension, your also buying excellent support.

My client wanted a submission that he could just hit 'reply to' and it was a booking request for accommodation. This extension was perfect for his needs. Not only did the extension work, it had the flexibility my client wanted and support - well, fantastic. Douglas is a true professional and the sort of developer who should make joomla proud. If I could give 11 stars I would. Amazing support - so rare these days. If you are looking for a great extension with even greater support you have found it.

I have tried various contact forms for my J! sites and this one I always passed by because of the price. I bit the bullet and made the purchase and the component and the support have been 5 Star. Get this if you want an easily configured and managed contact component.

I'm very pleased to be able to recommend this extension. Over the last week I was reviewing all the Contact Form extensions and sent an email to Douglas with a question about whether multiple emails were supported. Not only did I get an offer to add the feature, but before I had a chance to say yes and even install the extension, he had added the feature. I then asked whether the Name and Email could be made readonly for logged in users, and again Douglas sent me an updated version. (This feature will be available in a later release, I believe).
So I am very pleased by the speed and quality of the support, and indeed the high quality of the extension itself. It's not a trivial extension, and once installed has detailed documenation available.
I now have a Contact Form for my new website, which I am very please with, and has all my requirements.
Thanks, Douglas

Contact Enhanced solves an old issue for me. Since I started with Joomla 3 years ago I have always used Community Builder so I could engage their registration form, add fields, mark them mandatory and the most important part, add CB's captcha.

I know there are other methods for captcha that have been around for a while but I didn't care for them, hard to read, tricky installs.

Now with Contact Enhanced I was able to add a few fields to the my contact form and the big bonus is you have a choice of three different captcha's to use.

Contact Enhanced is a component and plugin, the plugin must be installed and published if you want a captcha to show. The plugin contains the captcha settings and the simple 'Math Question' is the easiest to read.

If you want to use Re-Captcha and help with the digitalization of old books you need the two 'Keys' which you get from the Re-Captcha website.

If you want to use either of the other two captcha choices you don't need anything special just make the changes in the plugin.

The support from Douglas is excellent to say the least! He really cares about people. There is a small cost to help with his time and bandwidth costs. It's still open source!

Thank you Douglas!
