   Hi all!

   After a long wait, I'm glad to let you know that we're really close to release a new major version of MachForm!

   A beta version of MachForm v3 is scheduled for release next month (February 2012).
   This version is a huge improvement over current version of MachForm and has lots of new features.

   Anyone who purchase MachForm within 2012 will get this upgrade for FREE, while the rest who have purchased previously will be able to upgrade at a discount price (more details regarding this to be announced later).

   I'll post one or more feature/screenshot into this thread every day so that you'll be able to get a look into the new machform. So, make sure to check this thread regularly!

   Thanks!

   1. All New Admin Interface

   The admin interface has been revamped completely. We designed the whole thing from scratch to make it easier to use.

   Below is the screenshot of the new login page :-)

   2. Improved, Full Drag and Drop Form Builder

   We dumped the old code and rewrite the whole thing. The result? A whole lot faster form builder interface and more fluid workflow. You can now add a new field into your form by dragging the field from the sidebar into the form preview page.

   A new field, matrix field, has been added and the other field types has been improved with more options.
   More details for each field soon!

   

   Here is video demo of the new form builder:

   I'm also interested to be a beta tester. Do you also plan to make it multilingual? If so I can translate all strings to my native language. :)

   It would be also nice to browse form entries using datatables script (not only from admin panel).

    3. Multi-Page Form

    Ever need to create a huge form? Having a form with 100 fields packed into a single page doesn't look so good. In fact, it's a pain for the user who fill the form.

    Now you can split your form into as many pages as you want!

    There is no strict limit with the number of fields you can add into the form. You can have like 500 fields into a single form and split the form into 10 pages or so by adding the "Page Break" field.

    This functionality is better described with this video below:

    4. Payment Processor Integration

    You can now create form which collect payments. Prices can be assigned to fields such as dropdown, text, checkboxes, or multiple choice and MachForm will automatically calculate the total amount of payment to be charged.

    As of v3.0, only PayPal Standard currently supported. Other payment processors (such as Authorize.net and Google Checkout) is coming soon within the next minor version updates (which is a free update).

    Below is the screenshot of the payment settings page:
    

    Merchant setting option:
    

    Payment options, you can set a one-time or recurring payments:
    

    Define prices option, you can set the prices for each field:

    Man, I can't wait for this new version. Looks just plain awesome!

    I'd like to beta test it, but afraid of bugs and complications in a LIVE environment.

    If you created the payment gateways as "modules" - we could create our own. For instance, I'm sure you've never heard of our gateway: Skipjack. Which in that case, I could create my own module for that gateway and integrate it with Machform.

    Just out of interest, what are the minimum system requirements for V 3.0?

    My host currently has: PHP 5.2.17, MySQL 5.0.92-community, Apache Version 2.2.17 (cPanel / Linux Hosting).

    My test server on localhost (WAMP Server): PHP 5.3.8, Apache 2.2.21, MySQL 5.5.16 (Win 7).

    Thanks.

    jhinkle -- thank you for the feedback regarding the module system!

    andrew -- MachForm v3 require the following:
    - PHP 5.2 or higher
    - MySQL 4.1 or higher

    Most hosting companies nowadays should support them already. Yours works great.

    Since the code is new, how will an old version integrate? Will the data folder just be copied like before? What about existing forms too?

    Yuniar - I'm a professional tester, and happy to test the installation, UI and functional stuff against a local website.

    Are you able to provide a stubbed gateway environment for the online payments side?
    Also you'll need to supply information to assist in the test process. If you're happy to do this, then I can assist.
