Joomla only
This plugin makes it possible to build a nice looking form with the YOOtheme Pro builder. You can make use of many field options including multiple file uploads and even hide the whole form within a modal.
Protect the form with Joomla's standard captcha and place as many forms as you want on one subpage. Admin and visitor can receive a beautiful styled eMail. Furthermore you can redirect your visitor to a custom page including all the data or stay on the same page and post data silently.
If you'd like to import the data, the csv attachment will assist you easily.
This form builder manages everything!
You can also collect various hidden data
You can simply set hidden values which will not be emailed to the customer like date, user ip, user agent, Joomla userid, Joomla username, server ip, server host and server url. You can also define a custom hidden value or use values from the URL (GET variables).
To use GET variables simply add the hidden value $_GET['variable'].
The form can be submitted to email addresses (TO, CC and BCC) including a CSV or XLS file containing all inputs. Also to the user as a copy (without attachment and hidden fields), as also as redirected to a new page as GET or POST data and optional as POST hidden in the background. This means you can process the data already in the background. Furthermore the data is stored in the Joomla database, too.
You can activate this option in the eMail tab.
Yes, you can. The options are already built in, so that you can use nice contact buttons instead of the forms e.g. in a team gallery like in Demo 2. Make sure that the section doesn't have an animation set-up, as this will block the rendering of the modal.
Please check the section the form is placed in and deactivate the animation. The animation will not be triggered on the modal so that the content will stay hidden. You can just put the form into a new section. If you want to open the modal with your own button just add it as HTML with <button uk-toggle="target: #ownid" type="button">
Yes. more Form uses the standard Joomla captcha like Google ReCaptcha, hCaptcha, EasyCalcCheck+ and Cloudflare Turnstile.
So in order to use it make sure it is selected in the global Joomla configuration and activate it in the element settings tab.
more Form uses the captcha that you set up as the default one in the Joomla global configuration. Please check that you have set a captcha there and activate the use in the settings tab of more Form.
You can use the Input -> GDPR option which already shows a common text used for GDPR option. No external scripts are used.
Yes, single and multiple. You can change the button text by using the placeholder field.
You can style admin and visitor mails independetly. You can also make use of a nice header and footer option. The input fields will be submitted as a nice table. You can also make use of the data to greet the user with the input name. Just use the name of the field like Hello, %Name%!
We added a free component to easily search between dates and in the submitted form date as also export data as CSV. You can download it free from the downloads section after you bought the builder element. There are also two modules to show the latest submitted data in frontend or backend.
Please disable the option "Use visitor address as FROM" in the eMail tab, because your mailserver does not allow to change the FROM value to the visitors mail address. more Form uses this as sender address for you to quickly respond in your mail client.
If the error continues also empty the "Sender (FROM) email" input field. more Form will then use the settings from Joomla's global configuration.
If you still get this error, then you have to check Joomla's global configuration, too. The fields "From Email" and "SMTP username" need to be set the same also while using providers like Hotmail/Outlook.com.
If you don't receive any mails your (mail)server configuration does not support all options that you activated in more Form.
For example: Some servers do not allow sending attachments while using PHPmail or sendmail. Always try to use SMTP as default mailer in Joomla, which is the best and most secure option. Some mailservers won't accept mails sent by PHPmail or will mark them easier as spam.
Also some mailservers don't accept sending in the name of a foreign domain. more Form uses the visitors mail address as sender address by default. Disable the option in the eMail settings tab and try again.
Please be advised that using a Redis cache server is not working as it will remove the form data on submission. Please set the Cache in Joomla to either disabled or File, but not to Redis.
As these problems are very rare, we are here to assist you. Just contact us if you face any issues.
Just put the elements in the columns you like. We have implemented a left, middle and right column. The element will be positioned in the order of your element structure.
By default HTML form validation accepts local mail addresses like above. This is because they are valid. Standard validation only checks the occurance of @ in the address and assums the visitor is clever enough to fill in the owned mail address. If you want a better validated mail check you can add a pattern like [^@\s]+@[^@\s]+\.[^@\s]+
Please be advised that using a Redis cache server is not working as it will remove the form data on submission. Please set the Cache in Joomla to either disabled or File.
You can set default values and you are also able to fill in the fields with the url. Have a look at the grey button in Demo 1 which fills some fields by url. You can also fill hidden fields.
The mask feature allows you to get a specific phone number syntax without the user having to hassle around with whitespace and hyphens. You can use these definitions:
0
- any digita
- any letter*
- any character[]
- optional group{}
- fixed groupEverything else is a fixed character. If you need a fixed character that is like the definition (e.g. the number 0) you can escape it with \\ (e.g. \\0).
Examples:
German phone numbers of +49 (0) 12345 / 6789-0:
+{49} (\\0) 00000 / 0000-0
Ukraine phone numbers of +38 (099) 999-99-99:
+{38} (\\000) 000-00-00
A select field can contain BCC-mail addresses. If you want the visitor to select a contact person but don't want to show the mail address in public, you can simply fill the value field with
Name|[bcc]mailaddress[/bcc]
To provide more than one contact person add a semicolon, like
John Doe|[bcc]This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.[/bcc];Jane Doe|[bcc]This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it.[/bcc]
The mail addresses will be encrypted in the source.
Just set "attach vCard" in email tab to "yes" and also add the vCard type to each field that is vCard relevant in the field settings.
