Advocacy forms for Joomla? 1 Year, 6 Months ago Karma: 0
Hi,
i'm trying to find out the best way to create an online advocacy campaign form in Joomla. I looked at CiviCRM and Democracy in Action, but was hoping there might be a Joomla extension that would serve the same function. I'm new to Joomla, so any advice is greatly appreciated. thanks. Jill

I'm not sure what exactly you are looking for. If you need a real campaign management tool, you should consider installing CiviCRM as a Joomla component. It is fully integrated in Joomla so that would be one way to go.

If you think having a tool like CiviCRM is overkill, you need to figure out what functionality you need. You can add fields in Community Builder to track interactions with people, etc., you can do your mailings using Jnews/Acajoom, you can register people for events using JEvents/Attend Events or DTRegister, there are forms tools for creating database backed forms, etc.

You can either cobble together the functionality or use a tool like CiviCRM. Not all campaigns are alike and you need to define what functionality you need.

Post some more detail about what you mean by advocacy campaign in terms of functionality and we may be able to suggest some strategies.
