Phil-A-Form v1.6 - The Best Forms Component For Joomla

We have been concerned for some time with the amount of complaints about emails not being sent from Phil-A-Form forms. 99% of the time the problem has been traced to something other than Phil-A-Form but because PAF used Joomla’s built in Mail Sending system no debugging information was possible without manually modifying joomla.php by Blue Flame in order to get real error messages.

Phil-a-Form v1.6 has now been released to address this concern!

Well now in Phil-A-Form v1.6 we have implemented our own Mail sending system in Full debug mode. As long as your Joomla Global Mail Configuration options are set correctly then there should be no reason for your emails not to be sent - however should there be an error the new version of Phil-A-Form v1.6 will display a lot of debug information (and more on demand!) to aid you in configuring your site correctly.

We have also taken advantage to fix a lot of smaller issues including 2 security XSS issues brought to our attention, for that reason we would strongly encourage all users to upgrade to the latest Joomla 1.0.12 and Phil-A-Form v1.6

Upgrading

Upgrading is dead simple, just uninstall your current version of Phil-a-form and then install this one just as you would a new component - all your forms, data and submissions will be saved and not lost ! Perfect!

We have also opened a sub-forum specifically for Phil-A-Form Email Solutions, please post any reports in that forum.

P.s. We have also introduced a new basic “Uploaded File Manager” in this version to help you manage any uploaded files your form creates…
