RadicalForm plugin brings article creation to Joomla 5 and 6
A free Joomla plugin can create articles when a Radical Form submission is received, extending the form workflow for user-submitted content and feedback mechanisms on Joomla 5 and Joomla 6 sites.
The plugin, named RadicalForm NewArticle, is a new version of an earlier plugin for Joomla 3. It is intended for sites that use Radical Form and need submitted form data to result in a Joomla article rather than only being handled as a contact request.
One of the changes in this version is support for matching Radical Form fields with Joomla article custom fields. This allows the form structure to be connected to the custom-field structure used by the resulting article.
Background and availability
The Joomla 3 version of the plugin is available on GitHub as plg-radicalform-newarticle. The new release is described as a reimplementation for Joomla 5 and Joomla 6, using the newer approaches for programmatically creating articles with custom fields.
Possible uses mentioned for the extension include simplifying article publication by site users and building a review system. The plugin is free. It was developed by community member Dmitry Denisov.
Additional background on the underlying article-creation process is available in Dmitry Rekun’s guide on programmatically creating Joomla articles with configurable fields, and in Sergey Tolkachev’s article covering custom fields in Joomla 5 and later. The extension page and download are published by Codersite.
