Configuration

The Configuration tab provides a centralized area where you can control general aspects for the overall component. When installing RSForm!Pro plugins for example, some of them will add additional tabs with their own configurable options (these tabs are explained in the according plugin documentation). The tabs' ordering depends on the order in which the plugins were installed.

 

Settings tab
  • Enable Syntax Highlighting: used to highlight the syntax used in HTML, CSS, JavaScript and PHP script areas.
  • Date Mask(for Date Submitted): the date mask that will be used when displaying the date of the submissions. It defaults to "Y-m-d H:i:s", any other formats are explained here.
  • Google API Key: All Google services require an API key starting with June 22nd, 2016. See the Google Developers Console for more details on obtaining an API key. This is for the Maps JavaScript API (used for the Google Map element RSForm!Pro provides).
  • Edit Modal Width: Sets a larger width for the field editing modal. Choose from: Default, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80%, or 90%.
  • Disable Multi-Language: Set this to Yes if you want to disable the multilanguage translation in your form. This will hide the language dropdown selection when editing a form.
  • Default Language: Select your preferred language when editing forms. Choose this if you've already edited your forms in another language and would like to keep those values instead of reverting to en-GB.
  • Enable Email Logging: Set this to Yes if you would like the component to record all email sending attempts to a file named rsform_email_log.php inside your Joomla! Log Path.
  • Verbose Email Logging: Set this to Yes if you would like to capture more information from the email sending attempts.
 

Grid Layout
  • Show Field Previews: Yes / No Set this to No if you'd like to save some space in the grid layout builder by not showing field previews.
  • Show Field Caption: Yes / No Enable this option if you'd like to display the field's caption instead of the name.
 

Defaults tab
  • Default Layout: Select the default layout that new forms will be built with.
  • Load Layout CSS/JS: This is the default setting for the 'Load Layout CSS/JS' option in new forms.
  • Default Export Filename: Specify the submissions export filename, without specifying an extension. Note: You can use the following placeholders: {domain} - for the domain name / {date} - for the current date / {formId} - for the form ID.
  • Export Submissions (AJAX): Configure the maximum number of submissions to export with each AJAX request. Decrease this number if your server doesn't handle this amount of information or increase it if it does. By default this is set to 500
  • Form Preview Menu Item ID: Please select the menu item you want to open the form in when clicking on the 'Preview' toolbar button, otherwise it will default to the 'Home' menu item.
 

Security tab
  • XSS Filtering: this is in charge of modifying the submitted data so that XSS attacks cannot be performed on your website when displaying the data. Usually, Joomla! filtering should be enough, but if this produces errors, please set to use RSForm!Pro's internal filtering. Please disable the option ONLY if you know what you are doing.
  • Allow unsafe files: Setting this to Yes will allow potentially unsafe files to be uploaded through RSForm!Pro. This will attempt to scan uploaded archives for .php files as well as deny any .php files to be uploaded if set to No.
  • Use CSRF Tokens: By setting this to Yes the Joomla! CSRF tokens will be added to your form's requests (and verified server-side) to prevent cross site request forgeries.
  • List of Disposable Email Domains: When using the 'Email Address' validation in your fields, the email address will be checked against this list. If the domain matches, it will be rejected.
    Please specify each domain on its own line. You can also use * as a wildcard to match any part of the domain, such as *.xz will reject all emails with a domain name ending in .xz
 

Backup tab
  • Pause between requests (seconds): specify a pause between AJAX requests; some servers might need this in order to avoid being flagged by their firewall as an attacker
  • Default backup filename: specify the backup filename (without specifying an extension). You can also use the following placeholders: {domain} - for the domain name and {date} - for the current date.
 

Calculations tab (regards the Calculations feature)

  • Decimal separator: Set the character that will be used as a decimals separator
  • Decimals: Set the number of decimals to be used

  • Font: The default font for the PDF file. If you would like to use Chinese characters, please choose the Firefly font. If you would like to use UTF-8 characters (eg. Greek, Cyrillic) use DejaVu Sans. For anything else the other fonts will work fine. If the fonts are unavailable, please follow the documentation: How to add Unicode fonts to RSForm! Pro PDF.
