CForms II removed from Repository.

You're right. I saw an eval() with a bunch of garbled junk and jumped to conclusions, but on closer inspection it's just "packed" code.

Am I right in concluding that the Contact From III that's still in the WP Repository is not related to CForm II?

I'm in need of a contact form for our site and the search for just the "right one" is becoming painful ...

Nope, that's not CForm 2. That plugin is based on the WP Contact Form.

You can get the cforms updated version here:

CForms III was put there when the CForms II developer announced he would no longer offer it. He's since changed his mind and will continue to offer it on his own website. So CForms III doesn't actually exist as it isn't needed.

I have to admit that I have not read every post on all 13 pages of this thread. Woukd the consensus be that the plugin author is gonna stick around for at least awhile?

I'd hate to go to all sorts of trouble and then have CFormsII drop by the wayside when WP 2.8 pops out.

" have to admit that I have not read every post on all 13 pages of this thread." Ha. Be glad. It gets pretty rough in there.

"Woukd the consensus be that the plugin author is gonna stick around for at least awhile?"
It looks that way. He's been releasing the occasional update for the plugin on his own site.

Hi all, sorry to resurrect this topic but does anyone else think that Delicious Days missed the boat by not re-working CformsII into a Gravity Forms style model?

I certainly think they missed that boat. It's a shame; CformsII is a complex and capable plugin. And all that complexity is right there in your face: you have to click into this section of options to set that and then close that and go over here to set this. But ohoh, it really only works well if you set that BEFORE changing that.

Coding the backend of software -- getting all those bits and bites to do what you want is an art ...magic? But, designing -- laying things out in attractive package where best workflow is obvious and the users' choices and their consequences are clear is another art.

I'm in the process of switching over to Gravity Forms.

I think at the moment cForms is the poor persons version of gravity forms. If you can't afford to pay, you use cForms, otherwise you would use Gravity Forms ... or custom build it.

Well atm I only have 2 forms on the go. For now Contact form 7 does exactly what I need.
