I tried all joomla extensions for forms but i always wanted something more. Fabrik has it all, it works perfectly, it is very easy to use. It is the best! congratulations.

I am an experienced Joomla developer and until recently had been writing custom extensions for a lot of custom client requests.



I had tried Fabrik over 3 years ago and it didn't really meet my needs then. So I kind of put it to the side.



Then I met Rob C. at a Joomla devs conference in NYC and got to know him. Great guy! (He even bought me supper one night, but that's not why I am writing the review, just wanted to point out the kind of guy he is).



EVEN STILL I didn't use the latest version until last week when I decided to see if it would solve the need I had for a small custom app. I started playing with Fabrik and was VERY IMPRESSED to see how it had evolved. He really has thought of almost everything and what he didn't think of can be added as a plugin, or with a mod to the templates.



Fabrik adheres to the latest and greatest Joomla file conventions and layouts (proper use of MVC) which makes it so easy skin and extend.



I think a newbie will need to read the documentation and maybe get a support contract, just because there are so many things you can do, but experienced devs will quickly see the power to create what often takes hours of code to accomplish, be it an actual 'app' or just a simple to complex form.



Kudos Rob and Hugh on a great product. I think I will be using Fabrik for many more future client requests.

This is a great component that makes your way of making forms become easier, without loosing posibilities to make any kind of form, filter or integration, this component leaves you make your own plugins if you have knowledge of java/php/ajax/sql, just give it a try, and the support is really good.

I spent time to test a lot of joomla extensions in order to setup the right "pakcage" to deal with on customers projects. Fabrik is one of the incredible ones. It allows to build a real complex application with no, or few, coding and great looking. It allows access to remote db, make joins, dynamic pull-down menus, graphic integration, joomla content integration (and reverse)... I'm still figuring out all the possibilities.

Bravo

The component is well designed but the lack of a free suscription service limit the usability of it because under registration pages are loaded most of the plugins.

This is the great form builder extension i've been looking for. It's didn't take much time to make a form.

Thx for the developer that makes this great extension

The best Joomla! extension period. I don't know how I overlooked this forms builder, but my days of working with other builders are gone. This is a must have extension for every Joomla! developer. Support these guys by purchasing a subscription.

I'm impressed with all the features and capabilities of this application development tool, it is easy to use, allows you to build forms with easy, link them togheter,etc...



there are a couple of sugestions i will log into the forum but i'm very happy with this product, it is worth testing



keep the good work

It is difficult to sufficiently praise this tool. Simply put, Fabrik allows robust development of both applications and bridges between other extensions.



The documentation, while quite sufficient, needs to be read and fully understood before beginning development. There are enough quirks peculiar to this tool that you cannot dive-in without reading first and expect good results. Experienced database application developers will appreciate the depth of detail and planning that has gone into this tool.



Installation instructions are detailed and easy to follow for the complete novice. Usage instructions assume a good understanding of database application development techniques.



If you need a tool to rapidly prototype or deploy basic database applications, this is a must.

I had been given a week to build a school management system. Then bumped on this while scouting for a good RAD. It took me a day to understand this system properly and I delivered the requested system within the second day.



The two guys behind Fabrik are simply geniuses.
