Wow, what a response to my last mass mail – loads of existing customers want to know when we are making Phil-a-form compatible with Joomla 1.5 – well we have clearly stated on many occasions over the last year that we have no intention of ever making Phil-a-form work in Joomla 1.5.
Shock! – well not really, we have been communicating this fact for over a year to all new and existing customers.
The Good News however, is that we are in the final stages of developing a Joomla 1.5 Compatible version of a forms component unimaginatively called “Joomla Forms” – Joomla Forms will be released inearly 2008 at which time Phil-a-form will be withdrawn from sale.
Customers who have purchased Phil-a-form in line with our stated policies on replacing those components (basically if you purchased Phil-a-form after 00:00 GMT 26th September 2007), will be entitled to a copy of Joomla Forms for free when it is released.
Joomla Forms is not an upgrade to Phil-a-form. There is no upgrade or migration script, forms cannot be transferred and data cannot be taken from one and used in the other. Joomla Forms is bfFramework powered and is a completely new application for Joomla, it has a huge feature set totally different to Phil-a-form – and will be supported and actively developed for a long time to come (Just has Phil-a-form been).
