Introduction

Contact forms, Forms, Development, Development Tools

The form generator mod_qlforms is based on the Joomla! xml form generation. Any parameter (calendar, text, email etc.) is at your service.


You can use it as:

  • usual form features:
    • contact form
    • sendcopy implementation
    • works with J! captcha plugins
    • major survey jumping from one form to the next
    • store all data in database via J! messages component
  • developement features
    • custom validation class
    • custom preprocessing of data
    • custom functionality via predefined class
  • paid version
    • fill database table
    • send/store files

Validation both via Javascript and PHP via Joomla! Data is sent via email to a contact email address. Also possible is cascading the forms, so that you can generate a major survey jumping from one form to the next. There are many more features (e. g. use captcha plugins and prepared class to do "something else", means to add your own code), see yourself:-)

As knowledge about xml formatting and Joomla! form generation is needed, mod_qlform is a useful and mighty tool for developers.

All form fields see here: http://docs.joomla.org/Category:Standardformfield_types

Great extension! You may realize almost everything with this form creator.

And it takes only 5 seconds to make a simple contact form.

Also very quick support unswer!
One of the best extensions I've encountered, and the support is exceptional! The ability to write the data to the Joomla or another database is particularly useful. I can see I'll be using this one a lot.



I see in other reviews that some find writing the code a challenge - Its worth persisting! My CSS skills are not good, but the author went out of her way to help me get things formatted just right!
Really, if you search for a tool to create forms, stop looking, you found it.

AND the support (Mareike) is fast and friendly AND competent.



Thank you so much Mareike.

I'm using ql forms for a number of sites.



It's easy in use and works great. Also higly customisable - you can make nearly anything you want.



I've had some problems with getting some elements of the form to work in css styles, but withing a couple of hours I was contacted back by support which is very friendly. The support came up with the working sollution.



I'm really happy with ql forms extention! Surelly recommend it to everyone!



Good job!
Owner's reply: Thank you!
Sorry to say this: QL is a pain on form making.

Bad enough that the form is created in a module the form creation is disastrous because no interface exists.

The fact that you need to create the form in the module manager reduces the working area to a tiny space. The non-existent form building interface doesn’t make it better but worse.

You must feed all form fields in a pseudo HTML language and must know all special attributes. Fast form making is not possible.

I propose a better form maker COMPONENT.
Owner's reply: Hi,

mod_qlform is based on Joomla! form generation via xml (not html). It is a proper way of generating a form for people who want much (from a little module) and who are willing to work a little bit. Our docu is good and I'm sorry you didn't take the time to ask our support,

Greetings
Mareike

cool module

Easy, quickly and clear – and support is extremely fast :)

thank you!

Very good

Quite well designed. Simple forms are done in a breeze, complex stuff take some thinking into account (wise to do anyway) but everything can be done. Output format well defined for post processing e.g. in procmail (a good combination). When I got stuck with very complex stuff I got delightfully prompt response from the developer.

It's great

Qlform is an easy to use module. In a short time, a useful form is created. Highlight is the possibility of database storage.

Mareike is absolutely helpful and answered questions immediately. Thank you.

The code has a clear structure and can be changed easily with basic PHP knowledge.

For great multi-page forms and specific validations also knowledge about the Joomla Framework is required.

It's a great extension!

Thanks for developing this module and making it available to the community. I am new to Joomla and PHP programming and was pleased to have access to this simple and useful module in developing a form based frontend to the mySQL database. I was able to install and work with the module with a minimal of effort. Mareike the developer of the module has been prompt in his response and supportive with ideas and instructions in my attempts to use the module, beyond its basic functionality of storing new records, to access and update database records. Thank You!
