RSJoomla! Blog - tutorials, tips & updates about forms

I’m sure you've already noticed on our website, the RSFeedback! window where users can submit their feedbacks and suggestions.

We've designed in a similar way an excellent feedback module where users can easily submit any Joomla! form created with RSForm!Pro (either by opening the form in a lightbox/modal window, in the same page or in a new page).

1. Improved RSForm!Pro Salesforce plugin

The new improved Web2Lead RSform!Pro Salesforce plugin includes some additional fields (description, mobile, fax, website, salutation, revenue, employees). A long requested feature for this plugin was the possibility to use the Salesforce custom fields. Yes, we have added this as well. At the bottom of the Salesforce Integration tab, you can simply click on the Add custom field button, set up its name and value, and RSform!Pro will handle the rest.

As we’ve accustomed lately, we’ve released a new RSForm!Pro revision, with some important functionalities, updated procedures and small fixes, most of all highly requested by our subscribers.

This option can be enabled in the “Manage forms” tab >> Edit Form >> Use AJAX validation.
