After almost 3 month of development, Visforms 3.2.0 comes with a new dimension of functions and features.
For the first time you can make fields conditional, so that a field is only displayed when the user has selected a specific option of a select, radio, checkbox or checkbox group.
Further on this release contains many new layout, business, export, accessibility and email feature, as well as for the first time some features for developer. The full feature list is attached and there is additional information in the documentation.
To achieve this further development many changes on code and database structure were necessary. Although the release was tested very thoroughly it is still a BETA version, which is not suitable for productive environments or only after you have tested thoroughly by yourself .
Please support Visforms 3.2.0, test it and let me know about any errors and bugs you might find!
Visforms 3.2.0 requires a Joomla! minimum version of 3.3.6. Installation on older Joomla! versions is not possible and will be aborted without changing your Joomla! installation. You can use the installation zip as full installation or a update for all prior Visforms 3.x installations. Please take a full backup of your Joomla! installation, including the database, before updating Visforms and start testing on a test system.
Notice: If you have created any old template overrides of visforms form views (default.php files) in the past, this overrides will break with Visforms 3.2.0, as the underlying files are profoundly changed. So please remove any visforms overrides in your template folder first.
This release does not only fix some minor bug of prior version but comes with some new features from our feature request list. You can use user inputs in the receipt mail and the result text now, so that it is possible to create individual receipts mails. Further more I added some new parameters that allow you to better control the layout of the data view in frontend.
The release is available for Joomla! 2.5 (Visforms 2.1.0) as well as for Joomla! 3.x (Visforms 3.1.0).

Autoupdate of Plugin Spambotcheck to 1.3.12 throws error message
The Joomla! update from Version 3.2.1 to 3.2.2 which was launchend via Joomla! Updater in the past few days made some adaptaions of Plugin Spambotcheck necessary. If you work with Joomla! 3.2.1 you need to use Plugin Version 1.3.11, if you work with Joomla! 3.2.2 you need Plugin Version 1.3.12. So changes on the developer level in Joomla! (the 3. number of the version number) required an update of the plugin. Sadly Joomla! auto updater will not evaluate the developer level for creating the view of available updates. So the Update displayed even when you still work with Joomla! 3.2.1. That is an inconveniency of Joomla!. The good news is. You will not be able to install the supposed update. Update will stop with an error message that it is not possible to update from 1.3.11 to 1.3.11. So no damage happens. But the update will not vanish from the list either.
