New in SEF 2.x - thanks to Andrew Caya and Martin Beaudry :

  • Client-side and server-side form validation for all field types,
  • Server-side filtering for all field types,
  • Integration with third-party CAPTCHA modules like Google's reCAPTCHA (Joomla's default),
  • Integration with Joomla's language settings,
  • Allow users to configure an automated reply email to those submitting the form,
  • A new Belarusian translation thanks to Yury (y.sapozhkov@gmail.com)
  • A new Slovenian translation thanks to Ervin (ervin.bizjak@gmail.com)
  • The possibility of overriding any translatable string with a custom one using Joomla's language overrides
  • The possibility of overriding and customizing completely the form's rendering

This app is excellent and I am using it for quite a long time without any problem.

Is it possible to automatically upgrade to the latest version 1.7.09 through Update section of admin control panel?

I don't want to disturb existing settings by re-installing the extension.

awesome module

Hi!



Really simple and awesome module to use for contact form.



But it would be even better if there was ability to disable the "subject" field, that there would be same options as for custom fields (Field 1, Field 2 etc.).



It would also be great if there was ability to integrate with ReCaptcha, like some new extra field.

Owner's reply: Thanks for the suggestions. Others have asked for this as well. A bit short on time right now but I'll put this on my list!

Awesome

An exceptional addon for any joomla site. Easy to setup and configure. Thank you!!
I use this extension in all of my website, and still one of the best contact form.



Is also easy to customize a bit according to needs.



Will be nice to have a math captcha, one of my customer think that the text one is too complex! :_D

Good, simple extension

Really good extension! Simple and very usefull. Thanks!
This extension is simply excellent. It is simple effective, very easy to configure and works like an absolute charm. The captcha function perfectly, and more than anything else, great installation documentation - A+++
This module is great to put a contactform with recaptcha in an article. I used it in the dutch part of my customers website as well as in the french part, in Joomla 1.5. I also made a redirect page and i can receive copies of the mails that were sent via the form. It does what it says, no need to program, just use the module manager and article manager of Joomla Happy! Thanks!

Fantastic

It only took me two weeks to figure out what I was doing wrong.



I read the instructions, re-read and re-read. The truth is I was making it really difficult, when in fact this was just as easy as everyone was saying.



Now it works like a champ.
Simple Email Form works as expected. Just one tip: If you want to place 2 or more forms on a page, remember to use a separate writable captcha folder for each form on the host. I'd also like to know how to use re-Captcha instead.
