Having used in the Joomla 1.0-times FacileForms as default form generator in our projects and own sites it was obvious that we tried out Breezingforms for Joomla 1.5 when it was released shortly after J 1.5 was delieverd to the community. We were though very disappointed since a lot of problems were present and bugs were not solved quickly etc. So we moved on to RSForms-Pro which we used for a certain amount of time with mixed feelings for instance the lack of multi-page functionality and non stable captcha at that time and the lack of actual available scripts to use in forms. Moving to bfForms (J1.5 successor of PaF) also did not bring what we expected/needed (missing multi-page and no content plugin) nor did Chronoforms for several reasons.
When Markus Bopp released Breezingforms 1.6 he contacted us, knowing we were not satisfied with the earlier releases so we downloaded and extensively tested BF 1.6 and were very happy that in combination with Jollom we had again our fabulous Form Generator back with even more functionality with user submitted forms and many more. Now BF 1.6.5 has been released (Trinity), despite being commercial, we are even more happy since the Team of Breezingforms surprised us with the fabulous 3-mode option (Quick/Easy/Conventional aka FacileForms) as well as Theme/Template options in the Suite. With little knowledge of CSS one is now able to create multi-page forms with any Theme of you liking. With the Quickmode function where you can make in minutes a full functional form without having knowledge of PHP and/or Javascript.
Breezingforms comes with an extensive library of Scripts and Pieces: PHP code is called a Piece, and Javascript code is called a Script. These predefined code sniplets help you very rapidly with validation, initiating submit and reset, email etc, etc. Very powerful!
What is also very helpful is the fact that it is distributed with a bundle of form-examples which makes it easy for one to understand the mechanism of BF and the scripting behind it in the engine.
Of course an excellent working Captcha is present and if wanted extra protection with Jollom (Mollom) can be added. Suite comes also with a module and a content plugin to load the forms in content articles.
Some video-tutorials are present but the product lacks indefinitely adequate documentation. That needs improvement, especially for end-users. Therefore 4 stars instead of 5. All in all an excellent and reliable product with perfect support!

Since Markus Bopp of Crosstec.de launched this Joomla-plugin to utilize the (by the developers of Drupal created) famous free anti-spam system "Mollom" (http://www.mollom.com) we have been using this plugin on all our own sites as well as our client sites and we are extremely pleased with the power of this plugin. Mollom is used by the biggest corporations in the world (to mention a few: Sony, Warner, Adobe) and not for nothing: Since utilizing this on Joomla contact-us forms, Breezingforms (successor FacileForms) and a mountain of other form scripts and components (Performs/Fireboard/SOBI/etc) for Joomla we can say that this more than exceeds our expectation. We have been practically spam-free on our forms which is the achievement of Mollom but without this fantastic plugin from Markus we would not be able to keep our sites clean.

Markus Bopp is extremely helpful and if we have issues or questions he responds flashy fast and is a joy to work with. A true professional with quality approach and performance. Highly recommended extension and we would say you cannot operate any site with forms without this plugin!

This is a wonderful little script which works fabulous simple and changes the collation of your entire database in less than a minute.

Highly advised for people who need to change collation.....No need for mysql knowledge. you only need your

* database name
* database username
* database-password
* new collation required

enter in a little form in your browser (upload a folder to joomla root of 16K and you are done)

note change the name of the folder into something easier such as "changing_collation"

the only thing you do than is run the script in your browser: http://www.yoursitename/changing_collation/index.php

Very good!

Better late than never but we have a captcha option on the registration. It works both in Joomla 1.0.11 and 1.0.12 very well with 1.0.2. Note it does not work with earlier versions of CB but that is logical and no objection. Any person should update anyhow to 1.0.2.

pro: works in register & password & email
con: no refresh button/ no disability (announced next release)

still missing: Captcha on login module

with refresh and module captcha i would rate good. Add than disability you get excellent.

one hurdle taken though!
