Form Wizard Pro 2.6.0.4 Released
|
|
For those who don't know, Form Wizard Pro makes it very easy for you to create custom forms and simple surveys on your site with drag and drop arrangement of the questions. It can be used for a variety of things such as custom contact forms, quote requests, job applications (it supports file uploads), simple surveys (multi page forms), etc. You can browse the submissions as a grid or page through them one at a time and you can export to Excel or Word. You can also import and export questions or even complete form definitions. Give it a try on our demo site. As always it is a free upgrade for existing customers who have purchased Form Wizard Pro (sign into www.mojoportal.com as the user who purchased, then click the "My Account" link at the top of the page then "Order History").
Whats New This Release?:
- New setting to enable question aliases. Question aliases allow you to use a shorter question name in the grid views and data exports. This can be very helpful since long question text can be unwieldy as a column heading in a grid.
- New setting to enable option aliases for list type questions (checkboxes, radio buttons, drop down list question types). Similar to question aliases, you may want to display a longer value to the user but use a shorter value as the actual result. For example you may show a list of stores and display the street address which is more understandable for the user who is submitting the form, but internally you may want to use store numbers as the actual submitted result.
- A way to visually group questions. We added a new setting for "Flatten Pages as Groups", if chedcked then what would normally be a multi page form will have all the questions on a single page, but the questions will be grouped into divs with a CSS class="qgroup qgroup1" where the numeric part of the second class is based on the page number. This way you have a class that can be used to style groups consistently or style specific groups differently.
- It is now possible to override the text on the "Submit" button.
- Vertical layout instead of grid layout when exporting to Word.
The sales of our add-on products is what makes the continued development of mojoPortal possible. Why not make your site even better and support our work?

IndieConf 2011 Raleigh, NC
|
|
I'll be attending IndieConf on Saturday November 19, 2011 in Raleigh, NC. IndieConf is a small conference for independent web developers and designers, freelancers and entrepreneurs. I'll be participating in a panel discussion about transitioning from a consulting business to a product sales business. It was kind of a last minute thing so I'm not scheduled for any presentations about mojoPortal, but I'll be hanging out and attending various sessions in addition to the panel I'll be participating in. I'd certainly enjoy getting to meet some mojoPortal community members there.

New and Updated Articles
|

Each month we continue to fill in some gaps in our documentation and update some documents that were out of date and no longer accurate. Below are links for some of the new and updated articles.
Arvixe Web Hosting is our top financial contributor to the mojoPortal project. They provide us with a dedicated server for running our site, a very generous affiliate program only available to open source projects, and they also sponsor members of our community as liaisons to help out in general in our forums and especially to help out if anyone has problems with their hosting at Arvixe. If you click one of our Arvixe ads and then purchase hosting and keep it for at least 60 days we get a very generous contribution from Arvixe no matter how low the hosting cost is to you. We think Arvixe is one of the best large shared hosting providers around. If you need hosting click one of our ads and give them a try, by doing so you will also be helping the mojoPortal project.
Carole Bennett of Indigo Tea and Ian McIntosh are our current Arvixe Commiunity Liaisons. Both of them have been writing a lot of great blog posts with good tutorials and tips for mojoPortal on the Arvixe Blog and we are maintaining a list of them here.
For those who would rather have someone else handle all the technical details of their hosting including installation, configuration, and upgrades of mojoPortal, we recommend i7MEDIA. You can let them handle all the technical details so you can focus on your site content. Joe Davis of i7MEDIA is our Community Manager, an expert in all things mojo and an all around helpful guy that you can count on.
We are continually trying to learn from our newsletter process, if any of you notice this message landing in your spam folder please do let me know.
Warm Regards,
Joe Audette

If you are a fan of mojoPortal, it would be a big help if you could give us a favorable review in the Windows Web Application Gallery. Since it is such a big source of downloads for us, reviews there are probably the most helpful, and ratings and reviews on our Codeplex download page are also very helpful for promoting the project. We don't have much of a marketing budget so we really depend on grass roots promotion and your help is greatly appreciated.
