Funny how the same day I blog about Joomla being perfect for sites not requiring custom application functionality I stumble upon a fantastic new component that may well challenge that viewpoint!  

Going back a couple of years, there was a great forms component that allowed you to create forms and custom elements for them without any code... that got built upon and then seemingly abandoned by pollen8 out of the UK and a little while back I remember their website being upgraded with a mention of mosform changing names soon and getting way better...

Its now called Fabrik and could well provide some cool functionality for making more dynamic use of databasing with Joomla sites... I'm off to install it on our dev server and will report back with more info soon...

Fabrik is awesome

I just discovered the reborn site a few days ago and am trying out the possibilities. Fabrik has loads of features built in and is well on its way to becoming a prime application builder for Joomla. I'm very, very impressed.

I've used Fabrik, and it is still a little buggy. I can't remember the exact issue I was having, but I just remember thinking it wasn't quite ready for prime time yet. I really like Fabrik, though. It's a great forms component, and it is a lot easier to use than Facile Forms. Phil-A-Form is good too, but it's not free.
