Payment Form version 1.4 released today

Hi all

Today, I just released the next version of Payment Form extension, version 1.4 . In this version :

1. Now, it is possible to assign a custom field to different forms . In the previous version, you can assign a custom field to only 1 form or all forms.

2. Now, it is possible to re-ordering all fields on the forms . In previous version, the custom fields are always placed after the core fields (first name, last name.....) . Now, you can place any fields on any positions in the form .

3. Two new layout includes in the release : 2 Columns, 2 Line and 2 Columns inline option. Now, you can have 3 layout options for the forms you created .

4. Improve the translation function so that you can find and edit any language string you want easily . You can also add new language item to language file from translation function of the extension .

4. The template for confirmation email and notification email is now placed in a template file so that if you want to change the layout for this email, you can simply modify this template file without having to hacking into core code .

5. Added a new custom field type : File Upload . So you can ask your users to attach any documents when they process payment via the form .

6. Improve user experience :

- Using tab index so that users can navigate between fields on the form using tab key on keyboard in the correct sequence .
- Add Apply, Save & New button on the edit custom field and edit form screen so that the process is easier for administrator .
- Auto remove special characters in custom fields name when admin create custom fields. That prevent some javascript bugs when creating new custom fields .

To upgrade to new version, you can simply download the latest version , uninstall the old version and install this new version on your site .

I will continue working hard to add more features to the extension. Please support my development by giving the extension a 5 stars rating and a nice review on the JED .

Thanks so much !

Dear Tuan:

V1.4 sounds like something I need, I was going to ask for something similar in regard to custom fields on multiple forms. However:

1) I am concerned about the instructions to uninstall old and install new, will this not delete all my payments, my six active events, and my many custom fields?

2) You say to simply download the new version, but that will cost me another $18.86. I was under the impression that I was automatically entitled to upgrades, especially since I just paid for this on 9/8/10.

3) re: point no. 1, custom fields in my version can be assigned to all forms or one form only - are you now saying that they can be assigned to different forms individually without selecting "all"? (That was the feature I was going to ask for, as I have had to duplicate custom fields for each new form when I did not want the field on all forms.)

Hi Dave

I replied you via email. I copy and paste my email here in case other users has same questions :

Hi Dave

V1.4 sounds like something I need, I was going to ask for something similar in regard to custom fields on multiple forms. However:

1) I am concerned about the instructions to uninstall old and install new, will this not delete all my payments, my six active events, and my many custom fields?

Feel free to uninstall the old version and install that new version. No data is lost (configuration data, payment records, custom fields...) will be kept . The onlything you need to back up is that if you have modified language string, you need to back up language file .

2) You say to simply download the new version, but that will cost me another $18.86. I was under the impression that I was automatically entitled to upgrades, especially since I just paid for this on 9/8/10.

=> You will get free upgrade for lifetime . Let me know the username you are having on my site and I will assign the order to your account .

3) re: point no. 1, custom fields in my version can be assigned to all forms or one form only - are you now saying that they can be assigned to different forms individually without selecting "all"? (That was the feature I was going to ask for, as I have had to duplicate custom fields for each new form when I did not want the field on all forms.)

=> When you create a new custom fields, you can choose all forms you want it to be appeared, so there is no need to duplicate custom fields .

Thanks,

Tuan

Will version Payment Form 1.4 work with Joomla 1.6?

Thanks,
Robert

Hi Robert

Payment Form version 1.4 doesn't work with Joomla 1.6 . However, version 1.6 which I released yesterday is compatible with Joomla 1.6 . If you purchased the extension before, simply login to your account, access to Customers Area -> Orders History to download the latest version (there are two folders in the package, one for Joomla 1.5 and one for Joomla 1.6 ).

Thanks,

Tuan
