formulize downloads and docs
Formulize 4.06
Formulize 4.06 is the latest version, under active development. (Documentation still says 4.02 on it, since there's been no change to docs since that version.)
-
Formulize 4.06, standalone version.
Download the standalone version if you just want to install Formulize and get going. Unzip the files and put them in a folder on your website, and then browse to that folder in your web browser. -
Formulize 4.06, module version.
Download this if you want to install Formulize in your ImpressCMS or XOOPS website, or you want to upgrade an older Standalone version of Formulize to the latest copy. -
Drupal 6 modules for integration with Formulize (beta).
Download these if you want to plug your Formulize standalone installation into your Drupal 6 website. (A Drupal 7 version is in development...) - Integration modules for WordPress and Joomla are near completion! Watch this space for updates.
Formulize 3 is still available for users of older versions of ImpressCMS and XOOPS. Also, the iMenu module from that release cycle is still very useful and worth checking out if you need to create a custom menu in your system.
How do I get started?
- Watch the tutorial videos. They walk you through creating a basic application from start to finish, with tons of detail along the way. You can pick which subjects you want info about, or watch them all for hours of fun. ;-)
- Read the Getting Started Guide — it has lots of info about creating forms, setting up access to the forms, and especially troubleshooting tips.
- There's a lot of documentation including tips on how to design a Formulize application and developer documentation that takes you Inside Formulize.
-
If you are not using the standalone version of Formulize 4, then you will need to download and install either:
- ImpressCMS, or
- XOOPS
The "module" version of Formulize 4 (and Formulize 3), gets installed as a module in either of those platforms. The Formulize 4 standalone version sets up everything you need to run Formulize in one shot, so you don't need to deal with this extra complication.

Formulize 3.12 and Related Files
Formulize 3 is out of date now. But it is still available here for users of older versions of XOOPS or ImpressCMS.
There are also a few other modules for XOOPS and ImpressCMS that we have released over the years and they were last updated during the Formulize 3 release cycle, so they are available here.
