The Joomla! Extensions Directory ™

I've had the pleasure of using this component on three websites I am involved with.

It is so flexible and well thought out, you really cannot go wrong!

The added scripting capabilities for me was a life saver on my current project. It is what takes RSForm to a whole new level and allowed me to build a workflow which has automated who a form is sent to based on what page on the website they entered the form from - fantastic.

SUPPORT

Well, what can I say - I hope he doesn't mind me name-checking him, but Andrei has been fantastic and helped me through getting my automation script (see above) working.

In twenty years plus working in IT, this was the best support I have ever received and I told him so.

VALUE FOR MONEY

Developers quoted me $350-$500 USD to add functionality to the current form built into the listing component I was using. RSForm's scripting capability meant I could ditch the limited built in form and use the scripting to get me required functionality and a whole lot more.

If RSForm were four times the price, I still wouldn't hesitate adding it to every site I build.

How can a product be this good and cost so little? I actually felt guilty paying just $99 (the price including lifetime support and upgrades), since the developer provides unheard of support.

I am going to be pushing the limits of ABPro very hard, since it is going to be one of the three main components of our site. Therefore we have had quite a lot of detailed questions and requirements. 

Even during testing on a sandbox server, Rob answered all of my questions amazingly quickly, with clear outcomes. "no it won't do that", "yes, you can do that, here's how you do it".

In all he has answered every question within 25 minutes of emailing support or posting on the forum. Incredible.

Remember, ABPro comes with free apps for the three big mobile platforms (iPhone, Blackberry and Android), so any authorised admins can receive and manage their bookings anywhere at anytime. This alone is worth hundreds, If not thousands of pounds, since developing an iPhone app with this level of integration would cost a fortune and yet it's FREE... crazy!

The apps are simple to install and use and cover all of the essentials, view and edit bookings, add bookings, manage availability etc. Simplicity delivered.

All I would like to see is the ability to change the screen title labels on the mobile screens, but this is minor.

Both the backend admin and the front end screens, which allow resource administrators to manage their bookings, resources and availability are brilliant. All can be customised, so you only have to give resource admins access to the areas they need. 

ABPro has very good PayPal integration (I've been testing using the PaPal sandbox) and the SMS notification features are just brilliant.

I can't praise this product and it's developer enough.
