RSForm!Pro - Joomla! form manager

While developing Joomla! websites for your customers you often probably needed a contact form. Here's what you should consider when choosing the right Joomla! form builder:

1. Is it easy to use?

Often Joomla! Form builders are made from the programmer's point of view, thus requiring you to read entire documentation articles and have complex HTML knowledge to be able to create fields and set up the layout.

RSForm!Pro keeps the layout simple. You have a single page where you can add, edit, delete and change order to your form fields. Another really helpful feature is the pre-defined layouts that help you change the form layout on the run, simply by clicking on one of them.

    RSForm!Pro - Joomla! form manager

    Today, we've released a brand new Joomla! System Plugin - the RSForm! Pro Plugin.

    What does the RSForm! Pro System Plugin do ?

    The System Plugin works exactly like the Content Plugin (known until now as mosrsform) - it displays the specified form wherever it finds the right syntax {rsform [number]}.
    The limitation of the Content Plugin however, was that it only worked with Joomla! articles. This means that if you wanted to use a Custom HTML module, a 3rd party component that loaded the Joomla! article directly from the database, it would not work.
    With the RSForm! Pro System Plugin, this limitation is lifted. It will work regardless of where the {rsform [number]} syntax is found.

    Today we've launched the 22nd revision of RSForm! Pro, bringing a newRSForm!Pro - Joomla form manager

    feature: generating XHTML compliant tableless layouts.

    The new layout is called "Inline (XHTML)" and uses a series of list items to define the components, instead of table rows, like the "Inline" layout does. The layout has been tested with Joomla!'s Milkyway and Purity templates, both of which have passed the XHTML 1.0 Transitional specifications.
    Feel free to help us improve RSForm! Pro and help the community by specifying new Web 2.0 style approaches to form handling and form appearance.
