Action Form 3.3 Is Now Live!

We mentioned it was coming, and now it's finally here. Today we are excited to announce that Action Form 3.3 is now available!

I know everyone has been waiting for this. So have we. This is the culmination of several weeks of work to add some cool features in Action Form that will transform it into the DNN module it always had the potential to be: The best DNN form creator ever.

If you are building anything that requires a form submission in DNN then you should be using Action Form to handle the forms so you can focus on the all the other stuff. Action Form can act like the base for all your user interactions regardless of what you’re building with DNN. And you know that...

Okay. What’s changed in 3.3?

We are always working on improving Action Form – adding features, hardening code, and cleaning up files. Everyday the code base is being improved by us. If any of these changes might improve performance or overall code stability, we want to get them out to you as soon as possible. So, let's see what's new in Action Form 3.3:

Replaced jQuery dialog on Bootstrap modal
Implemented tags control
Implemented permissions grid control
Execute SQL now can load multiple columns at once
Implemented ability to auto save forms in cookies
Added Title field
Increased minimum requirement to DNN 5.5
Added server side condition to programatically determine if validation for a field will execute
Added new Button Group control to help with grouping and aligning buttons
Updated password update feature to work with new MembershipProviderConfig.PasswordResetEnabled mechanism
Added data binding for the static field
Implemented ability to upload files in the database through [FieldId:Stream] token
Added ability to upload profile picture
And a dozen more...

There is a lot more going on behind the scenes so checkout the full changelog if you want all the little tiddly-bits. Cool, huh?

So, what are you waiting for?

Download it and give it a try!

Summarizing, Action Form is a great tool for creating forms for your DNN portal. And with its extensions (Page Actions, Job Application) it is an extremely powerful tool for accomplishing all kinds of tasks.

Beneath the skin, and in the right hands, Action Form is a form creation framework with unparalleled possibilities. It has been gaining popularity by leaps and bounds.

Many of Action Form users are learning just how flexible and powerful this DNN form builder truly is. Here's what they said:

After trying out a couple of other Forms modules, I came across Action Form and was very surprised. The ease of use, the ability for customizations and the superior service from DNN Sharp makes me give this module 2 thumbs up. The Customer Service alone would be a reason to purchase this module. Every question and custom scenario I had, DNN Sharp team was more than happy to help get me straight. I would definitely recommend this Forms module to both beginner and advanced technical users. Craig A.

Action Form has been, hands down, the best designed and easiest to use DNN product I have used. The UI is simple and easy to use, the product is powerful, and the support has been amazing! Paul M.

Amazing module, awesome features. That's saved my life in complete a project on time record. The support on this is very professional and fastest. I would recommend this to anyone. Yosniel M.

We hope you guys all enjoy this update, and are happy with the additions. Let us know your thoughts in the comments! More to come.

PS: As you probably know, there is no risk in purchasing any of our DNN modules because we stand behind every line of code and every interaction with our customers.
