Our new AJAX Joomla! Contact Plugin - Your Thoughts?

Written by

We've been working on a new AJAX-style (no-page-refresh) contact form for Joomla!, you can view the Alpha at the end of this article.

I'm not sure if we should make this totally free to download, collect a small token payment (it was the result of hard work, after all), or possibly just use the plugin to advertise our forthcoming Weever ("Your Joomla! Site.  Mobile. In Minutes") service. What do you think?

We're currently calling the plugin JNovaContact. I think we'll also add a 'loading' animation and some template options in the plugin parameters soon.

One of things about this that I really like about the plugin is that it uses the existing contact information in your Joomla! installation - great for keeping things lightweight and staying 'close' to the core installation.

The Plugin is JQuery-based, and still very early in development. Try it out and let me know what you think! - emails go to our office.

PS. I know the form is clearing our right-column. Like I said, the plugin is only ALPHA :)

A Quote for your Consideration:
