Hi all, I updated a website from version 1.11.13 all the way to the latest 2.2.8.

Now I have to find an alternative for the module FormBuilder.

Can anybody recommend a good replacement for FormBuilder?

FormBuilder works fine on latest CMSMS version.

Thanks Jo,

I have: FormBuilder 0.8.1.6 Installed
It says: Missing dependencies
Depends on: CMSMailer
Minimum Version CMSMailer: 1.73

CMSMailer 5.2.14 Installed

What should I do in this case?

If CMSMailer is installed and active it should work just fine, otherwise activate it. Clear CMSMS cache.
The dependence is a backwards compatibility feature but it will be removed in next version but otherwise shouldn't affect the module functionality.
If that doesn't work try finding and renaming moduleinfo.ini inside CMSMailer module root folder... the file may not have been updated for some reason...

I cannot find "Form Builder" in the backend under Extensions anymore.

Also pages that use the tag {FormBuilder form='name'} does not work anymore.

FormBuilder should be under Module Manager and it probably won't work before fully upgraded (and surely not before CMSMailer is active). To activate a module check if there is a green check near the uninstall link: if grey click on it.
