Welcome to the Joomla SEO Club and Book

Every month we try to dig out a Joomla! addon that:

• can be really useful to people in the day-to-day running of the site
• has been overlooked compared to more popular extensions
• is free!
  

Our last two prizes have gone to mambots that successfully did jobs that are often done by much larger extensions (backing up the database and collecting RSS Feeds). This month the "Extension of the Month" is also given to a script that simplifies a difficult task - making forms. The winner is PerForms.

I don't expect everyone to agree with me on this, but it really is the successor to the last simple and effective Joomla forms component, which was AkoForms. 

With PerForms, we know that we can sit down with a client and get them creating and publishing their own forms inside of 30 minutes. We've tried to do the same thing with FacileForms, Phil-a-Form and there really is no comparison. Both of those extensions work, but they sure do take work (if you know what I mean!).

PerForms: easy, stable and now, a winner!  Click here to download it.

Easy and useful

We use Performs at www.joomlashack.com. Its simple to use and set up. We modified it so that the subject gets a datestamp added to it, useful if you are using gmail to get the emails from the form, as then they get threaded into conversations.

Agreed

Agreed - its great to see this used on high-traffic sites like yours. I think part of the reason its been overlooked may be the number of negative reviews of Joomla.org that stem from previous versions. The latest update runs fine.

Hi,

I was running perForms 2.3 and upgraded to 2.4 because it will not email the form submission.

No errors or anything. The email just never comes through.

Can anyone help?
