We are thrilled to introduce Formea v1.2.0, the latest update to our powerful Joomla extension for creating dynamic forms. This release is packed with new features, enhancements, and crucial bug fixes, all aimed at streamlining your form-building experience and enhancing user interactions. Here’s what’s new in this version:

New Features

  1. Email Files Attachment:

    Formea now allows users to attach files in notification emails. This highly requested feature ensures that any files uploaded through your forms are included in the notification emails sent upon form submission. This makes it easy for recipients to access all relevant documents directly from their inboxes, improving communication and record-keeping.

Enhancements

  1. Disabled Submission Indicator:

    For forms where the “Allow Submission” option is disabled, we’ve introduced a visual indicator in the Form Lists view. This enhancement helps you quickly distinguish between operational forms, which are used for calculations or other purposes without saving data to the database, and submission forms, which collect and store user inputs.

  2. File Upload Lists:

    We’ve made tracking uploaded files easier by listing them in the submission view. This enhancement allows you to see all files uploaded by users during form submission, making them easily accessible and ready for download when needed.

  3. Email Delivery Status:

    One of the top requests from our users has been better visibility into email delivery status. In response, Formea now logs whether emails sent to admins or users are delivered successfully. This status is viewable in the submission view, allowing you to troubleshoot and ensure important notifications are received.

Bug Fixes

  1. PHP 7.4 Enum Error

    We’ve addressed an issue reported by users running PHP 7.4 where Enums were not supported, causing errors. This fix ensures compatibility and smooth operation on PHP 7.4 environments.

  2. Modal/Slide Issues in Joomla! 4

    A bug causing problems with the Modal/Slide Core add-on in Joomla! 4 has been resolved. The conflicting Bootstrap JavaScript that was affecting the form display has been fixed, ensuring your forms work seamlessly in the latest Joomla environment.

Summary

Formea v1.2.0 marks a significant step forward in our commitment to providing a robust and user-friendly form-building tool. With features like Email Files Attachment, Disabled Submission Indicator, File Upload Lists, and Email Delivery Status, this update is designed to make your form creation process more efficient and effective.
