Heads Up: This is the documentation for Joomla 3

We recommend using the Documentation for Joomla 4!

It is more up-to-date and extensive. Most of it applies retrospectively to Joomla 3.

Joomla 5 Notice

We are pleased to announce that as of January 29, 2024, all of our Joomla extensions are compatible with Joomla 5.

For all who are still updateing from Joomla 3 to Joomla 4: Joomla 4 Migration instructions are available here:

There is now a separate Documentation for Visforms for Joomla 4 and for Visforms for Joomla 5!

Attach files to mails

This feature is part of the Visforms Subscription and not available in the free Visforms version..

We propose reading the documentation from the beginning, starting with the Introduction We will not repeat concepts and explanations made in previous parts of the documentation, here.

You can attach as many files to your mails as you like and decide for each file individually whether it is attached to the result mail, the receipt mail or both. The files must be stored on your server. Please upload files, which you want to attach to Visforms mails, first using FTP or the Joomla! media manager.
