I am incredibly frustrated with this extension. After trying out many other form extensions (not many free one's to choose from), this one looked like a godsend. Unfortunately after spending an hour tinkering with Fabrik and searching for documentation, I see that they only way to get instructions is via paypal.

This component has was a godsend for us. We needed to have additional information stored as proxies for other components (events, jobs, listings - sobi2). The easy to use interface and the clean database structure does exactly what our interactive firm needs.

This is by far the best component for forms I have ever used. It is just logical and simple, but at the same time very powerful and with a lot of options to customize.

Great work!

Truly Fabrik has given me wings!

Excellent support, and a great team. With this extension, my dreams have become bigger, since I can realize them!!!

It is a great tool which you can use for building all you need for creating and managing website applications. I have used it for creating an exam sessions booking system. Without using this component I don't know how I would have been able. All I had to do is just to set few table, with 3 words of php.



The effort and time cost have been decreased incredibly, although it was the first time I have used this component.



as time goes I was thinking that with this tool it is possible to create anything.



I'm waiting for the stable 2.0 version for using with Joomla 1.5

Once the workflow via the admin interface is figured out it is really up to your imagination, use of CSS, and coding skills to take it to the next level.



We have wanted to take Joomla to the next level for our customers data entry and reporting needs and we feel that a HOME RUN was hit by selecting Fabrik.



Documentation is always interesting suject, been there done that before and it is not easy to do. The subscription is worth the few bucks to get the documentation. With in an hour of printing and reading the docs we had the workflow figured out and were up and running with real data.



If you are not familiar with SVN to get updates/patches take the time to figure it out it is well worth the time and effort and might save you time.



If anyone run into the Calendar script error, no problem it is on the forum with an easy fix.



Looking forward to working with Fabrik on our current project and expect to use it on future projects.



Great Job!!

Honestly speaking, no matter how fantastic this product is, how can first-time users get value out of it, if they don't have a clue how to use the extension. Yes, agreed, great features, but of what use if there are no idea on using it???



The developers are charging for documentation and tutorial but the product is "free" to download. Well, great way to attract people to download the extension and then get stuck with using it unless they subscribe and pay the $45/yr membership fee.

It took me 30 minutes to create a form, use it, save the data in the database and to show the resulting tables. I did not need to read the documentation. I am not an IT expert.

Ok, it is not the user friendliest tool but after reading the reviews here I thought I might need some days to figure out how it worked. That is not the case.

And the tool seems to have a lot of potential.

Only the french translation in the back-end is somehow approximative, but not worse than my english ;-)

Thanks to Fabrikar for this component.

No words to describe Fabrik. In each version that comes out, Fabrik is better.



Another thing that is very good is the Fabrik support. I have found many dificults but in Fabrik support they give me all the help to solve the problems.



Thanks for all :)

If you aren´t really into programming and all that stuff then once you get into Fabrik it is great and you can create some really good basic forms.



The free support is even really good as well. I got 2 answers within a day which is good for open source. Even the freee part of the forum has some answers and I would imagine that if you pay the 20$ you would get great support and the extra info int he subscription only forum would probably be good. I´ll definitely pay for the subscription.



It could do with offering more samples to work with as it only comes with 1 but then maybe they are available in the forum and I just can´t find them. I have posted another question so I´m sure I´ll have the answer from them.



I tried all the forms and although I liked the way FacileForm allows you to create forms it was useless with Joomfish as there is no compatibility with them.
