What comes after MPForm?
The Name is NForm :-) I leave it to your imagination what this name means ;-)
Why create a new module instead of improving MPForm?
Well, MPForm still contains some brownfields inherited from the modules Form and FormX. NForm has been rewritten from scratch and is free of such burdens of the past. Therefore it is not be possible to migrate forms from one of the other form modules into NForm, but for new forms NForm will be the way to go when all qualifications are fulfilled.
What requirements exist for NForm?
- Template in HTML 5
- Javascript and jQuery
- Table layout is no longer supported, use DIVs instead
- NForm is preferably a module for people with some basic knowledge in at least html and css
- NForm requires Lepton, the modern fork of Website Baker
How can I support the development of the module?
You can support the development by a donation of at least 20 €, too.
Will I get free support from the developer, when I do not want or can read or understand the documentation? Or when I have no basic knowledge of html and css?
For me, the most annoying with MPForm are the many people who want to earn money with the module, but have too less knowledge of what they are doing. They expect to get free support, without paying anything back for the time they steal me.
Therefore I will not always give free support for NForm. If you do not like this policy, either learn yourself how things work, or use another module of your choice. There is also a forum where issues related to the module will be discussed.
So why should I am interested in using NForm at all?
- allows checkboxes and radio buttons with images
- allows questions to be shown or hidden depending on the state of a checkbox or radio button
- more improvements in the Backend
May I see NForm in action somewhere?
Yes, the Lepton Bugtracker is based on NForm.
I still use Website Baker, can I use NForm there?
Well, there is an Upgrade script which helps you to migrate from Website Baker to Lepton now. I did already upgrade sites from different versions 2.7, 2.8.0, 2.8.1 and 2.8.2 of Website Baker to Lepton with the help of this script.
