Hi, does anyone know of a good Joomla contact form? I have been using RS Form Pro, which is great, because you can create a completely custom form, multiple forms in fact. However, they charge you for every domain you want to add a form too. Shouldn't there be just a good one-time fee form out there some where? Thanks in advance for any help!
Dude!!!! Richard Bean. . .that is a fantastic form!!! You do have to subscribe to the extensions it appears so you can have the form email you submissions and what not, but for $33 USD it is totally worth it. The only scary thing is they have the yearly "subcsription" fee set to auto-renew, that is not a real big deal, but if there was any one thing that could possibly be considered negative regarding that awesome form, that would be it.
There is a real slight learning curve, at least for me there was, but they provide flash tutorials, and once you finally get through them, it all comes together and starts making sense. So far, looks like a really REALLY good suggestion. Thank you again, so much!
I think RS Form pro is a great form, and it is very user friendly, especially for those not techincally savvy at all. But I for some reason, really like the quality that the fabrikar form puts out, however, I am still familiarizing myself with it currently. I'll know for sure who the TRUE winner is by the end of the project i'm working on lol jk
Ok, I'm humble enough to say that I think Fabrik is really a little over complicated, and definitely not something I can hand to a client to make their own forms if they like. I have gone the way of RSForm Pro, and I have seen the light! Always. . . ALWAYS. . .go with RSForm Pro. Fantastic now that they added the ability to place forms within content articles also. Only thing I'm working on trying to figure out is how to make a 2-page or multi-page form. Thanks again for all the help!
Fabrik is "over complicated" because it's not merely a form generator, but an entire data solution for manipulating data and tables and cascading dropdowns and right inner joins and geocoded Google maps and filtered calendars and, well, you know...
RSForms is nice, however, if you simply need a form engine for users who can't make them using dreamweaver and 1/100th of the code these joomla form engines require.
Joomla Form was pretty slick when I was testing it, too...the old "Phil-a-form" component that was recoded, renamed to "Joomla Form" and is quite slick...give that one a look, too. Phil had a backend demo, so you can see how easy it is to make professional forms. Lots of nice ajax and demos and multipage form configurations with which you can play.
