We are excited to announce the release of Formea v1.2.2, the latest update to our dynamic form-building extension for Joomla! This version brings one new feature and a range of enhancements, and bug fixes, all designed to make your form-building experience smoother and more efficient. Here’s what’s new in this release:

New Features

  1. Pre-made Form Upload or Transfer:

    Formea now allows you to reuse forms built on one Joomla! site by easily transferring them to another installation. Whether the form was created using the Formea Backup Extension or downloaded from our example forms, you can upload it to your Formea environment to kickstart your form-building process. This makes it easier than ever to set up and deploy forms across multiple Joomla! sites.

Enhancements

  1. Code Refactoring: Joomla! 5 Native Modal

    In Joomla! 5, the platform introduces a native Modal Dialog that no longer relies on Bootstrap, unlike Joomla! 4. In this update, we’ve started refactoring certain Formea UI components to gradually drop Bootstrap dependencies in favor of Joomla!’s native Modal. This change maintains backward compatibility for users still on Joomla! 4 while preparing for a smoother transition to Joomla! 5.

  2. Core Backup Extension:

    With this release, we’ve also introduced the Formea Backup Extension, which enables you to create backups of your forms. The backup files can be restored or transferred to another Joomla! installation, even across different domains, ensuring that your forms are portable and easy to manage across projects.

Summary

Formea v1.2.2 marks a significant step forward in our commitment to providing a robust and user-friendly form-building tool. With features like Form Uploads/Restoration and Form Backups, this update is designed to make your form creation process more efficient and effective.
