Membership reg form - a lot of fields req. input from user

[johk]

Hi,

I have setup an shopping cart for soccer club that sell merchandise etc via the site.
They are also considering taking registrations online as well. The football federation have a standard for that has be filled out with probably 30-40 different fields such as player details, parents details, school details etc etc.

Is it possible to incorporate a form from  a 3:rd party form component such as chrono forms, breezing forms etc or similar into a product? I am interested in any suggestions on how to setup a substantial registration form with VM that requires the user to enter information.

I am using the VM 2.0.12b and Joomla 2.5.1

Thanks,

johk

Hello -

Yes, there is an extension to do this!

Our Breezing Forms Custom Fields extension offers a viable approach for complex custom fields, as long as you don't need parent/child products or to track stock by each of the options.

What we have is an extension that seamlessly integrates a completely custom Crosstec Breezing Form into the custom field area of a VirtueMart 2 product. Because BreezingForms is a fully featured form development component, this means that you can do all those great things you expect from best selling form design software,  then use that form as the way to capture product options and attributes for a VM2 product.

And because you are using a form design component, you can control the way the fields depend on one another for the values and the final pricing.

If you think this sounds like it might help you, here's a link to our documentation to learn more: http://docs.polishedgeek.com/wiki/display/BFCUSTOM . There's a also a YouTube video there on the doc homepage that explains it a bit more.

We have a simple demo page here: http://klarna.polishedgeekdev.com/index.php/shop/eyeglasses/awesome-eyeglasses-detail  (still working on a demo site with several different products and examples)

You can learn more about the form component our extension integrates here: Crosstec BreezingForms http://crosstec.de/en/extensions/joomla-forms-download.html   (You have to have both VM2 and BreezingForms to use our extension).

I'm happy to answer any questions you have. Feel free to pose them in the forum here, or if you would prefer to discuss your requirements more privately, just open a ticket: https://polishedgeek.com/clients/submitticket.php?step=2&deptid=3

Let me know if you think this might be helpful for you!

Also, if you would rather just present the form once during checkout, we have another extension that does that, called Breezing Forms Plugin PRO.  To help you decide which extension best fits your needs, see this page of our FAQ: http://docs.polishedgeek.com/wiki/pages/viewpage.action?pageId=3178834

Thanks,
This might be what I am after.
Are the form entries saved within Breezinform? And I can I then export them to csv etc?

thanks,

Actually you can do several things when you present a form during checkout or within the product:

1 - pull any of the fields you wish (and only the fields you wish) into VM2 and associate them with the products; selected fields show up on the VM2 order
2 - save the form information into Breezing Forms and use export utilities to pull it out and report it (although it won't have the VM2 order # in the BF database
3 - save the form information into a Breezing Forms compatible external system, like Salesforce
