J4 Advanced Forms

[aklisiewicz]

I have a question to those who are familiar with advanced form components (by experience, not by guessing what works or not).

I need to create some forms based on existing tables where parent/child (sometimes called: master/details) relationships play a major role. A simplest example of that would be Invoice, Purchase Order etc.

I also need an extension which integrates with nicely with the template. I know a few (like FABRIK) but they are missing any kind of quick styling tools. I also purchased some Form builders on the past but none of them worked (either missing documentation, no support of any kind from the developers or bugs).

Today I looked briefly at JCB component video and it looks very interesting, however it might be an overkill for that I need (because I do not need much of a backend control. I already have and external Web App for that. I just need some data entry (with list views, filters etc. within the CMS).

If there is anybody using this type of extensions, I would appreciate hearing your opinions and/or suggestions.

Thank you

I am currently exploring the new fabrik beta 1 (for J4) and I am very pleased with what I see. Quick styling NO,but easily achieved with css and you only do it once...

Well, that is the problem. Many people (like me) have no expertise of CSS and no time to write styling scripts.
I was looking recently at Joomla Component Builder and it sounds promising, but did not have had enough time to get deep enough into the details.
