Joomla 5 Notice

Today, October 31, 2023, we released Visforms 4.4.0.
We are pleased to announce that our Joomla extension Visforms is now compatible with Joomla 5.

Our Joomla extension Spambotcheck is currently not yet compatible with Joomla 5 and the installation cannot be started on Joomla 5. We expect to release a release with Joomla 5 compatibility shortly.

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!

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.

First Steps

This feature is part of the Visforms Subscription and not available in the free Visforms version..

This is legacy documentation for old versions of the plugin as shipped with Visforms Subscription prior to version 3.2.2. In newer versions, option depending mail recipients are configured directly in form fields with option lists.

We suggest reading the documentation from the beginning, starting with the Introduction. We will not repeat explanations that help you to better understand the whole context.

Enable plugin in plugin manager

Please make sure, that you have installed your Visforms Subcription. After that, you have to enable the plugin in the plugin manager before you can use it.

Go to the Administration Panel of your Joomla! installation and click the top menu item "Extensions" and then "Plugin Manager". Search for the list item with the name "Visforms - Custom Mail Address". You can use the search filter above the list. Make sure the plugin "Status" is set to enabled.
