Action Form 3.4 Is Out!

Be Prepared To Bask In The DNN Forms Building Awesomeness!

If you care about your DNN projects, a tool that can help you to gain developing muscles from puny to brawny is Action Form, every DNN developer’s dream when it’s come to custom forms building.

Action Form?

Yes, the easiest and most flexible form builder for DNN. And more than that, with Action Form framework you’ll be able to get something built with minimal effort, time and cost, but still have a great result in the end. Functionality provided by Action Form will enable you to focus on building your DNN project in no time.

Action Form As A Framework? …Whaa?!

Yes, you read that title right: Action Form as an applications framework. But wait… Action Form is a DNN form builder right – what’s this about building applications?

Well, as it turns out, you can do a whole lot more with Action Form than you may think. Using the power of DNN and Action Form you can build powerfull apps, scaled them and eventually sold them. Many of Action Form users are learning just how flexible and powerful this DNN module truly is. Here’s what they said:

Action Form has become THE solution we use when we add forms to DNN websites we build for our clients. It's easy and quick to use. Customer service is consistently immediate and accurate. When used in combination with DNN Sharp's My Tokens, Action Form becomes a solution for many DNN scenarios. Mike M.

Action Form really is the easiest form building that I've used for DNN. This module makes it really easy to design a responsive form that looks and functions great on mobile devices too. Hands down the best form module I've used for DNN. The support is great too! Dave S.

I purchased this forms module after struggling with another DNN form provider through a few different releases of DNN. This form is awesome and I mean awesome. It is simple, powerful and has incredible support. The documentation is just okay but did I mention the module itself and the support are awesome? I used this form to automate free trials for our website. The form captures the user info, creates their DNN user account, adds them to a Trial Users role and then posts all of their form info to our Salesforce.com site. Note: I don't normally give five stars (or reviews at all) but It works great. Jeff C.
