With the latest revision of our Joomla! form builder RSForm! Pro we have added a much desired feature - conditional fields.

We've released an RSForm!Pro plugin which will allow you to migrate all your Joomla! 1.5 forms from Blue Flame Forms to RSForm!Pro along with their submissions.

Download the RSForm!Pro - Blue Flame Forms Migration plugin

Access your www.rsjoomla.com account and download the plugin from "My downloads" area >> RSForm!Pro membership.
Notice that you'll need an active RSForm!Pro subscription to be able to download the BF Forms importer.

We've been working hard lately to bring you RSForm!Pro rev. 41 with hot new features:
multiple validation rules, fallback method for Joomla! language files, migration plugin for BF Forms and many more.

1. Multiple validation rules

The form field values have new validation rules:

• "Unique Field": when this validation rule is selected, RSForm!Pro won’t allow 2 identical field values
• "Email Address with DNS Check" - an additional email validation checks the availability of the specified domain name
• "Credit Card (AMEX/Diners/Discover/Master Card/Visa)” : when selected, RSForm!Pro checks if the submitted card information are valid
• "USA ZIP Code" validation: checks if the submitted values are USA valid zip codes.
• "Phone Number (123-456-7890)" validation: - check if supplied value is a valid phone number
• "IP Address" and “URL”: only valid IP addresses and URL-s will be submitted
• "Regex" validation: when applying this validation rule, advanced users can create their own validation patterns.

When we first started to write this article, we were planning to structure it as a 3 part series.
Yet, our readers' feedback has determined us to write the 4th part of the article, to further analyze the payment process, once the user completes the transaction.

While the first 3 articles have coverred the required steps in setting up a small shopping cart with RSForm!Pro, whether by using the PayPal plugin or a given custom script, this article we'll explain how can you receive the payment confirmation right in the RSForm!Pro "Manage submissions" tab.

We're going to extend the custom script used in the 3rd part of the article, to record through a hidden field, the payment status: confirmed or not.

We’ve been working hard lately to bring exciting new features to RSForm!Pro 1.4.0:
a redesigned components area, built-in mappings, new submission options, additional emails and many more.

1. RSForm!Pro components area redesigned

The RSForm!Pro components and properties area has been redesigned from scratch to ensure an increased backend usability.
Two new form properties have been included too: "Save data to database" and "Enable Confirmation by Email".

2. Built-in mappings functionality

Starting with RSForm!Pro 1.4.0, you can use the built-in mappings feature
to integrate the component with 3rd party extensions and save the form submissions into other tables.
Compared to the "RSForm!Pro Mappings Plugin", this new tool not only performs insert operations, but it also updates and deletes the existing table data.
