I want to thank the Developer MB for his outstanding service,
I ran into minor issues while installing it, he responded quickly
and resolved the issue in matter of minutes.
Thanks to the developer. You done an excellent job on this and your
support is exceptional.
The new "Easy Mode" will make designing forms in the future less time consuming.
I had some issues with the upload element and the old captcha from the previous version conflicting. I got on the crosstec forums and Markus jumped in right away and stood by me until all of the issues were settled and working correctly.
Overall this is an excellent product, with excellent customer support. It is well worth the $5 to purchase it.
Furthermore the creator sent a free (!) new version of the extension, when it was developed. Outstanding support!
Not a complaint, but a wish list for this extension is for Captcha.
Thanks to the developer. You done an excellent job on this one.
Thanxx
Dear customer,
thanks for the flowers ;)
There was an installation issue under certain circumstances related to joomla and php installations without native zip support, but we provide a solution within the download package now.
The support I received from Markus was just AMAZING !!! Quick (very quick), efficient and at the end working !! Thx again to him.
For the component itself, I'll work on it and come back to review- At a first look it seems very promising !
The intro video, although shown through the Joomla! 1.0 interface, is still sufficient to get started.
The lack of a comprehensive user manual and a video that specifically addresses Joomla! 1.5 and the current release of Breezing forms is felt when you start thinking about adding a certain degree of extended functionality and sophistication to your forms. However, the application is easy and transparent enough that anyone with a minimal experience in how the different components work for Joomla! and forms in general work, can figure most things out fairly quickly.
The help forums also hold a lot of answers, although I feel that the search function for the forums could be a bit more sophisticated. It is not always easy to find the required answer quickly - however, most likely the answer IS there.
I had an issue with the installation of version 1.5.1 (the previous version I had installed gave me no problems at all). It is something related to the size of the COM_ component of the installation package, and the amount of memory that the PHP default configuration assigns for installers.
A mail to the developer was answered very quickly, and a satisfactory solution was provided immediately, so I can vouch for an excellent tech support for the module.
The only reason I am not assigning BreezingForms a top rating is because I feel that there's still a fair bit that can be done to improve the application even further, including the form-building interface (I know that's in the works), a better way to edit and customizing of the forms feedback messages, and **definitely** a better and easier way to create and implement custom html mail notifications for the forms.
Altogether a very good extension, with all the markings for becoming a truly outstanding piece of work.
I needed a form to standarized the entry of my content by using several text fields and a choice from one drop down list. The example form for content entry did all that except it didn't have a concatenate example (I kept trying to use an "&" and then searched the web and learned that PHP uses a "." instead.)
I'm not a programer but I can follow programing in a working model and I was able to decifer it and get my form up and running quickly.
I was a previously a user of FacileForms, and migrating my apps to BreezingForms and joomla 1.5 was a "breeze" (well, sort of!!)
No real issues whilst migrating, and also provided me with the opportunity of tidying up the code in my old FF's!!
Summary, excellent component, and those people waiting to migrate their FF's to Joomla 1.5 and BF, don't be scared...just do it!!
