Heads Up: This is the documentation for Joomla 3

We recommend using the Documentation for Joomla 4!

It is more up-to-date and extensive. Most of it applies retrospectively to Joomla 3.

Joomla 5 Notice

We are pleased to announce that as of January 29, 2024, all of our Joomla extensions are compatible with Joomla 5.

For all who are still updateing from Joomla 3 to Joomla 4: Joomla 4 Migration instructions are available here:

There is now a separate Documentation for Visforms for Joomla 4 and for Visforms for Joomla 5!

Do not store ip address with the user inputs

This feature is part of the Visforms Subscription and not available in the free Visforms version. It was added to the Visforms Subscription release 3.2.1.

You can store the user inputs, which were submitted with the form, in the data base. Visforms will store some additional information with each record set of stored user inputs, like date and time, when the form was submitted and the ip address from which the form was submitted.

As the ip address might be considered as personal information (and therefore be subject to european privacy law) and as you might not need that information at all, the Visforms Subscription comes with an additional form option, that allows you to exclude the ip address from being stored with the stored user inputs. You will find this option in the form configuration tab "Result", just beneath the option "Save Result" with which you trigger, whether or not the user inputs are stored in the data base.

Ip nicht mit Daten speichern

If you set the option "Exclude Ip Address" to "yes" the respective data base field will be left empty.
