Breezing forms is actually a good product once you understend how it works. However, whatever I try, I can nog get it to work with IE. Not just on my PC, but on may other PC's where IE is installed the forms just do not show up. I have searched the forum, but can nog find anything related to it.
It is a pity, because I think this is a good product.

I hardly ever complete reviews. Only exceptional products motivate me enough to bother. I downloaded BreezingForms late last night. It installed with no bother and I put together a simple order form using QuickMode. I tweaked it a bit this morning, customised the admin email notification following the user guide, did the same with the confirmation email to the submitter and just made it live.

The possibilities of this product are massive. It is a one stop shop for forms and the best I've seen and used. 10 out of 10.

Well done to all involved in it's development.

I wanted to give this 5 stars to be fair I gave it Average.
If you're looking for ease of use, this wasn't it for me.
I tried it out on Joomla 2.5.6, and tried to create a form.
I gave up because it seemed more complicated than necessary. For example, when I tried to enter text in the "easy mode" it didn't work. No response.
I gave up. I did give it Average rating due to the fact that maybe it was just me. I did find another form component that was a little more simple, yet does the same thing.

Good work guys.

P.S your package says Joomla 1.7 I'm wondering if this had anything to do with it? Yet on your description is says 2.5 compatible? The only download link on your site links to a 1.7 compressed file.

I have been utterly staggered at the power of this extension. There seems to be no limit to what can be achieved given patience and perseverance.

I have to agree with all previous positive feedback but more than that, I simply cannot find anything that I can't do with it.

Marvellous!

Once I got the hang of quickmode i was hooked. The power of this extension has to be seen. The extensive forum, knowledge base and tutorials will have you creating in no time. hope to upgrade to the commercial version soon. Thank you crosstec for making this version free.

I've used alot of form creators before but breezingforms blows them all away. Yeah there is a footer advertising their product (which I dont mind) but the best part is how easy it is to design a form in quickmode. They say support helps when time allows but djhargrove went the extra mile for me to set setup my form and even wrote a quick cod for me (i suck at programming) all in all its a great software and would recommend it to anyone wanting to build quick easy forms. I 'll buy the pro as soon as I get the money to do so.

If you are search a Formbuilder easy to handle and a lot of possibilities than you are right here. the support form djhargrove is helpfull an he understand what you need!

Thanks a lot for this extension

I had high hopes for this extension after reading the reviews and watching the training videos produced by the developer but after attempting to use it for the last few days I come away very disappointed. The extension has tremendous potential but suffers from major bugs that prevent it from being useable.

I'm using the free version, which only has support in the developer's forums, but according to users in that forum the paid version has the same issues. I followed all the instructions for installing and configuring the extension.

I started out using the Easy Mode, which a video tutorial by the developer. I followed the tutorial step by step and set up my fields and labels, specified field validation rules and even set up some conditional fields.

The next step in the tutorial has you click the Form Settings button. This is where you are supposed to set up the form's name, layout dimensions, database logging and submission behavior. The form won't submit properly without using the Form Settings. However, clicking the button does nothing.

It works perfectly in the training video, but not in either the free or paid version. Despite multiple recent requests for assistance from users in the developer's forums, no replies have been forthcoming.

The same happens with the form's preview button. Clicking that is supposed to open a light box window showing the form in action but nothing happens.

I then switched to Classic mode but didn't get very far. I attempted to set up a simple contact form but the field labels would not display. Already frustrated by Easy Mode, I decided to move on to Quick Mode.

In Quick Mode I was again able to set up a simple contact form but when I tried to adjust the dimensions of the form, the developer's footer containing a link to his web site started displaying in other areas of the form. Even when I put the dimension settings back to their original values, the footer continued to display in the wrong location.

This is not an exhaustive review of all BreezingForm's features but it does point out deal killer bugs in each of it's modes. The system has a lot of potential but in it's current state it's not ready for prime time.

I searched for a new extension, because i migrated my site to joomla 2.5.. Before i used ckforms and with Joomla 2.5 I have tried this extensions and i like it.
I have little bit Problems with Mailback but i've got quick help from the forum.

Many Thanks and
Regards

I really like BreezingForms, but I would like to change the language into Dutch. I can't find where I can make these changes. I found the Dutch translation in the Admin part. How can I set it to Dutch, please help me.

I like this extension very much and they have great support! Now I can make complex forms even with this free version - great!

I have tried some extensions like this. After some days, I notice the possibilities of them (Proforms, RSForm, ChronoForms...)
Finally I found the best form editor and visually are superior to others.
Great! I want the comercial version but I tried first the free (Notice that 11 Backport have problems when create a new form, can't do it for a disorder of buttons) Backport 10 are excellent.

I can usually figure out anything. I've never given a bad rating but this extension just leaves me wondering "what?". One minute it works fine then it doesn't. Nothing changed so why? I've been over and over it - scanned all the forums - taken all the advice. I give up. Frustrated.

I manged to make a form for submitting events. I have used breezing forms with content builder and now I can add events into my eventlist component. Also I can manage the lists. Markus is of great help even on the free forum. I am looking forward to new development with gmaps plugin integration!!!

Thanks a lot Markus.

I've worked with this with one form, and that was excellent, but used the copy functionality, twice, and all my forms stopped working. Unable to submit the forms, i looked at the tables, and the form fields had been deleted from the form elements table. started from scratch, repopulated the table, and weirdly, the elements were deleted :(

I like this extension. its easy to use without programming skills. there are enough material to learn how to use it and the users forum is so active and reply very fast.
Thanks for providing this nice extension

That's great, You have done a great job in making such kind of extension and really appreciate as you have given many good features in FREE version. Excellent man Excellent

I build most of my sites on Joomla and after a while you start to favour certain extensions for the functionality you need. Breezing forms is a great extension I use, but even better is the support. I dont know if Marcus is a one-man-army or what but he really puts in the time and effort. He recently helped me with some codes to catch data early in the form submission process.... which without I was in some deep water. So heres to a great guy doing great things!

Learning Breezing Forms can be a bit tricky but it is totally worth it! I was a bit "frightened" and a tad confused at first by the different ways of creating the forms, but after several weeks working with it I can see how freaking amazing powerful this is.

If you need to have TOTAL CONTROL over form creation, display, functionality... and I mean absolute total, over the top complete control... this is it man! The best part is that right out of the box without doing any extra coding it works perfectly and easily. Then when you decide you need to do more stuff... the option is there and fairly straight forward. The beauty of the system is the combination of "automation" and "customization". You can have both which is rare with complex components.

The form creation display in a "folder structure" in Quick Mode is awesome. Once you understand it it makes so much sense. The back end creation display was strange at first because I "couldn't see it". But after understanding the way it works it makes perfect sense (I would prefer the "Advanced" tab would be just part of the main editing screen when working with sections and elements. Just a quibble).

I think it may help to have some concept of the coding concepts used in extending the basic features, I often take for granted what I know when working with others. What I assume is "easy" is often difficult to others. Even without that knowledge, if you follow the instructions suggested on the forums and the Crosstec site, you can still pull off some amazing tricks.

Forum feedback was very fast and always nailed it. It was like someone was reading my mind.

One recommendation: USE THE QUICK MODE! This seems to be the "best" way in my opinion of course, to use Breezing forms. I used all of the types but found that the creation and organization structure of the Quick Mode is best.

I would suggest that possibly.... Crosstec should change the name of "Quick Mode". At first, based only on the name, I thought it was a simple form creation type intended for "beginners". In reality Quick Mode appears to be more powerful and easier to use than the other types. Correct me if I got this wrong. I actually tried the Quick Mode last after playing with the other types.

I've been an avid Joomla user for 4+ years now. Breezing Forms is so incredibly easy to use, and an absolutely beautiful extension. Looks very professional, very smooth. And the support I have received is bar none the best you can get. Yesterday I had a question, and within 1 minute of posting a question on the Crosstec forum I had a response from Markus. He very persistently tried to help and answer all of my questions until all issues were resolved. It was like he put everything else down to lend me a hand. Thanks Markus!!
