Warning! This is a very powerful extension, and is for the more technical users.

This plugin enables the use of subforms within any extension that supports Joomla custom fields. Currently, this includes users, contacts, and content. It will be impossible for me to fully describe the possibilities of this plugin - but I hope my video demos and documentation will help. I will give a brief description, and then list features.

This field is discontinued as the Joomla core developers used the name in a core plugin.  The functionality has been transferred to a new plugin - Fields - XMLForm.  Hopefully the core developers don't like that name too.

The subform field type is very powerful and now that the capability is delivered to custom fields, you can collect groups of data and even repeating data (this plugin supports repeating subforms). Defining your own XML form, you can customize the collected data to meet your needs. Create as many or few fields as you need for your subform. This plugin also implements translation for field labels and descriptions. It doesn't stop there, the output can be customized as well, with a PHP output template. Implemented on this page is a "Twitter Card" subform, which outputs meta tags in the document <head>.

Features

  • Single or repeatable subforms
  • Translation capable, using the common Joomla language file (INI) format
  • Custom output capable
  • Handles custom fields
  • Repeatable default output is a heading labeled table

Why is this software free?

I’m ditching the freemium game and giving this software to the Joomla crowd for free. It’s a nod to “Jumla”—Swahili for “all together”—because fragmentation sucks, and I’d rather focus on innovation and paid gigs. Use it, build with it, and if you need custom work, I’m super into that.

What's The Catch?

There isn’t one! I’m all about building tools that empower the Joomla community and spark creativity. This software’s free because I’d rather see it in your hands - fueling awesome projects. If you really feel like paying something, I’d appreciate a review in the Joomla Extension Directory—your feedback means a lot!
