Introduction

Calendars & Events, Forms, Database Management, Content Construction, Maps & Locations

Fabrik is THE open source Joomla! application builder, form and database management component.


It gives people the power to create custom applications without requiring knowledge of mySQL and PHP, all from within a familiar Joomla administration interface.

Powerful Tools
Fabrik provides you with all the tools that you need to create applications that range in complexity from simple contact forms to complex applications such as a job application site or bug tracking systems

For Programmers
For programmers, Fabrik still allows customization via php, xhtml/css templating and javascript.

Stumbled upon Fabrik and thought I'd give it a try! Amazing! Awesome! Ingenious!



I struggled with other extensions that are supposed to do what Fabrik does, but nothing even comes close.



Tutorials are unbelievable, thorough, accurate and simple.



Thank you for your time and effort in development of this extension.

Fabrik takes the cake

I've used this application on several websites for collecting user data, creating Help Desks and other purposes.



Once you get the process down pat, this thing is so incredibly powerful and versatile. Absolutely the most powerful application builder for Joomla.



Love it: cudos Rob & Cheesegrits :)

A developers dream!

I have been developing applications for a long time, and I have always re-used my code as much as possible, but this is too easy! After the initial learning curve I found I could import a database and have a search form within minutes. This allows for time to add features and value (like their geocoding plugin). All from within joomla...a miracle.
K like i really like this this this COOL "C" congrats to the maker and hey why stop coding when i have a long wish list? ;-)

Very Versitile

This extension makes it so much faster to add those things that clients always want but take days to hand code. You can make them in a couple of minutes with all of the stuff that you need. Error checking, light boxe,s file uploads.

Totally cool.

Good work

I honestly don't understand how some people can take direct shots at degrading developers of FREE extensions for Joomla, even if it is just one or two people.



People put their free time into developing extension to share with everyone. If you think you put out a better extension or could help with a project, why not put your free time into helping instead of degrading someone's effort. I think some people miss the point of Open Source. This is a problem with a lot of the Joomla community. If it's free give constructive feedback to help it get better.



As far as Fabrik goes, I think it's an excellent extension. Keep up the good work!

Don't waste your time

This component is full of bugs.

I installed last release (com_fabrik_2.0rc3.zip) and I can't publish forms on frontpage without mistakes.

There is the possibility to use svn versions but theese are full of bubs too.

I spent a week to fix this on my lamp without success.

The best by far

In the few months I have been working with fabrik, developing a huge CV database and now a real estate site, has been excellent. I love the support, constant updates, and a good community in the forum.



It is a bit off a learning curve, but just follow the tutorials and you are on your way.



By far the best CCK component for joomla.



Thanx

Excellent!

See the tutorials before doing anything (flash tutorials on the official website).

Then, it's very easy to use.

You can use this for anything that you can imagine inside a table.

Examples: Selling products, clasified ads, etc.

so far, so good

big future for this component.

Really need to have search and sort function in table display.
Owner's reply: Thanks for the review. Search and sort is completely possible with fabrik, edit the elements you want to do either of these functions on and select the "allow ordering" or "filter type" option to activate ordering/filtering
