A DNN Developers Webform Toolbox

On the surface, Action Form is a great tool for creating forms for your DNN portal. And with our add-ons it is an extremely powerful tool for accomplishing all kinds of tasks. Beneath the skin, and in the right hands, Action Form is form creation framework with unparalleled possibilities.

We know that building forms is boring. Nobody says “I wish I made more forms” on their death bed. That’s where Action Form comes in and saves the day. Spend your time with family, friends and fun stuff, not with forms. :)

Give Action Form 3.6 A Try!

Licensing Changes. DNNizens Require Different Things At Different Times

Nothing stays the same forever. All of the preceding questions must be asked at each stage, and the answers, and strategies that go along with them, may change many times. Action Form of two years ago is dramatically different from the Action Form of today. I’m not just talking about the module, although that is definitely true, but also about it’s methodology.

If we hadn’t adapted our processes and model from two years ago, there is no way Action Form would be what it is today. It probably wouldn’t exist at all. Heck, it’s still growing and changing. The things we did at the beginning allow us to be doing what we are now.

Once with Action Form 3.6 we changed our licensing model slightly. It wasn’t a drastic change, but it was necessary to continue growing and adapting our business. Basically we’ve removed the Standard license and the Server one (that worked per IP address).

The Standard license that worked for one domain only was replaced by the old Extended Standard license, so that now it will work for unlimited subdomains of a given domain. The good news for you is that the price decreased from $149.95 to $99.95!

We've also introduced a new licensing option. The Host License works for all portals within 1 DNN installation. The portals are running off same DNN database and/or file system.

More flexible options for renewing the updates and support subscription are also available.

Need Help? Use Our Support Forum

Support requests rushed ferociously. As you know, we take support very seriously, and, because of the sheer volume of requests we might receive, we have had to implement a more strict support request process. This is to make sure that we provide the best support possible while also being able to push ahead the development of our products.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, we really want you to use our forums when requesting support from us. It’s not because we hate email, we just hate email for support. That might seem strange to you because it works really well on your end. Let me explain some of the reasons it doesn’t work so well for us. 

Well, email is for individuals but we’re a team. DNN Sharp consists of a team of 13 DNN Jedis and we share the load of support requests and development. If you send an email, that removes the other talented Jedis from the conversation. Now we have to forward and CC the other team members which makes a simple email exchange a hot mess. That’s why the forum is the foundation of our support process and a recommendation for getting the best support possible.

We remember what it’s like to need help with a product or service. Because of this, we like to reply as quickly as possible, and in most cases, requests are responded to within a few hours.

Thanks Guys

We would like to give a big shout out to our friends Jerry Mattox, Dieter Vieren, Hans Lenting, Nathan Botts, Richard Sletcher, Aaron Lopez for going the extra mile to help us make Action Form better. Guys, thank you! 

We are deeply humbled by the feedback and support we got from you. We are so grateful for trust you put in us.  With your love and support, Action Form  is now the widely used/preferred module when it comes to managing forms on DNN.  We won't let you down!
