Create Custom Joomla Forms

Joomla is one of the leading content management systems for building websites, and almost every modern website contains some type of form, be they feedback forms, contact forms, or lead gen forms, to directly interact with users. Jform makes it easy to build code-free online forms and embed them in your Joomla website — completely free.

You can create registration forms, payment forms, donation forms, and signup forms with 10,000+ ready-made templates to choose from. Plus, once your forms have been embedded, responses will automatically be sent to your Jform account for organization, management, storage, and more.

Although scripts and iFrames aren’t allowed in Joomla’s editor by default, you can embed your form into Joomla in just a few quick steps.

First, get your form’s embed code in the Platforms tab of the Jform Form Builder. You can then add it to Joomla by temporarily disabling the editor, using an extension, or setting up text filters. The easiest option is disabling the default editor if you’re not looking for something permanent.

Though there are several online form builders to choose from, there’s no full-featured platform like Jotform. With the ability to implement conditional logic, accept payments, generate reports, and automate workflows, Jform meets all your form needs in a single workspace. Create no-code, professional forms with your own branding, integrate with your favorite business apps, and get paid in seconds.

The right form makes all the difference — so choose Jform today.

Yes, there are several options to make sure your form is protected from spam.

You can protect your forms against spam by restricting submissions to one submission per IP address, as long as your users won’t be using the form multiple times. You can also set up conditional logic for another layer of protection.

We encourage our users to add a CAPTCHA to their forms, which is very effective if spam is coming from bots. This can work in tandem with password protection, though keep in mind that this would require you to provide the password to all of your users.

Great question! An array of forms are regularly used on Joomla websites to collect information from users. Some of the most popular are registration forms, order forms, surveys, feedback forms, and request forms. You can embed these forms on your Joomla website to instantly gather data from users and automatically store it in your Jform account.

You can also add payment forms — including purchase or donation forms — on your website using Jform’s handy payment gateways, like Square, PayPal, Stripe, and Authorize.net.

These are just the tip of the iceberg. You can customize everything from evaluation forms to polls to quizzes for your Joomla website. Don’t wait — get started today!

It’s completely free to create a form for your Jooma website on Jform — and it always will be. Our Starter plan gives you access to many of the features that paid subscriptions have to offer — with the main difference being usage limits. For example, your account can receive 100 submissions per month with the Starter plan, which is perfect for small-scale data collection or testing. If you find that the Starter plan’s usage limits aren’t enough, you can move up to the paid plan of your choice (Bronze, Silver, or Gold).

If you don’t want to use an extension to embed forms in your Joomla website, you can build them directly in Joomla (but be aware that this may make for a more tedious and time-consuming data management process later).

First, create a form element by entering the admin section of your site and clicking on Structure in the left menu. Select Forms under the Content tab, which will display a list of all the available form elements for your Joomla website.

Finally, click on the New Form button to access a form builder and create your form.

Including conditional logic in your form is easy with Jform’s intuitive drag-and-drop form builder. Conditional logic helps to mitigate user error and automate tasks so that you can focus on building your business. Use it to send emails to different addresses, skip pages in a survey, and show additional questions, all according to user answers.

To access the Conditional Logic Wizard, simply go to the Settings tab in the Form Builder, then click Conditions on the left. Select the condition you need, whether it be Show/Hide Field, Update/Calculate Field, Enable/Require Field, etc. Once you complete the condition, save and test your interactive form to ensure it’s working properly before adding more conditions. Then voilà — your form is ready to go!
