What it does

  • In the form·the street completes after two letters, postcode, city and province fill in on selection; a hand-typed address is checked when the visitor leaves the field
  • On submission·the address is verified (without calling the service if the visitor picked it from the list) and normalized in the fields; the outcome and the verified form go into the submission, visible in the details, in the exports and in the smart tags
  • The email·a certain typo (gmial.com → gmail.com) is corrected with the original kept; addresses that cannot receive or role mailboxes can be refused with a message, if you choose so
  • On the phone number·every phone number is checked, with an international dialling-code menu next to the field, preselected from the address country or the site language; the number as typed is never rewritten
  • In bulk·the submissions already collected for a form: choose which ones, in what order and how many, also a few at a time every month with the subscription; “skip those that already have an outcome”, the progress and the report by outcome
  • In the settings·your account token, the field mapping of each form and the verification precision, from 1 strict to 5 maximum

Three examples, as they come out of the engine:

  • via leopardi 4, 20100 milano→Via Giacomo Leopardi 4, 20123 MILANO MI · verified
  • anna.rossi@gmial.com→anna.rossi@gmail.com · corrected
  • via inesistente 999, milano→to check · the street is not in the municipality

How to try it, in three steps

1

Install the plugin

Download the package and install it from System → Install → Extensions; the plugin enables itself. It needs Convert Forms 5 or later.

2

Create the account and the token

The account is free, asks for no card and includes an allowance of operations every month: the token is created in one click and the steps are explained there.

3

Paste the token and map the fields

System → Plugins → «System - RadarAddress for Convert Forms»: paste the token, press «Verify and save», then in the «Field mapping» tab say for each form which field is street, postcode, city, province, country and email. Save: from then on the form suggests and verifies.

Have a prepaid code? Sign in to your account, open Enter a code from the menu, type the code and press “Continue”, then “Confirm and redeem”. The operations are added to your account straight away, at no charge, and work with the token you already have.

Requirements: Convert Forms 5 or later (the free one too), Joomla 4.4 or later, PHP 8.1 or later. Interface in the thirteen languages of the site. The code is published under the GPL licence.

The plugin sends RadarAddress the address and the email of the submissions of the forms you map: nothing else. The privacy policy and the Terms apply; data stays in the European Union and is not kept beyond the check.

Frequently asked questions

Does it work with the free Convert Forms?

Yes: the plugin uses the events Convert Forms fires in every version, free and Pro. It needs Convert Forms 5 on Joomla 4, 5 or 6 (on Joomla 6 without the Backward Compatibility plugin).

Does it block the submission when the address is not found?

Never. The address is verified and, if recognized, normalized in the fields; if not, it stays as written and the outcome in the submission says «to review». Only the email can stop the submission, and only if you switch on the option for addresses that cannot receive or for role addresses.

Where do I see the outcome?

In the submission itself: when you save the field mapping the plugin adds a few hidden fields to the chosen forms (outcome, verified address, email outcome and original email), which appear in the submission details, in the exports and in the Convert Forms smart tags, so in the notification emails too.

How do I tell the plugin which fields are the address?

In the plugin settings, tab «Field mapping»: one row per form with the name of the Convert Forms field that holds street, postcode, city, province, country and email. The country can be a field of the form or a fixed value for the whole form.

What does it consume?

The plugin is free. One address verification is counted for every address verified (none if the visitor picked the address from the list) and one light check for every email. Every month the first 50 address verifications and the first 500 light checks are free; beyond that, the packs and subscriptions of the pricing page, from the plugin with one click.

Can I check the submissions I already have?

Yes, from the “Bulk check” tab of the settings: pick the form, which submissions, in what order and how many; the plugin sends them to RadarAddress as a job and writes the outcome in each one, with “skip those that already have an outcome” so you don't pay for them again. With the subscription it can also run a few at a time every month.

What if RadarAddress does not answer?

The form works as always: no message to the visitor, no submission blocked; the outcome says «not verified» and a notice appears in the administration.

Versions

  • 1.1.1 — in the bulk verification only those with something to verify are counted; “street verified, house number not verified” is a warning, in bulk too; yes/no fields are read in thirteen languages; the message for a rejected email no longer shows the internal name of the text in the settings.
  • 1.1.0 — verification precision in the settings (from 1 strict to 5 maximum, 3 by default); in the bulk verification choose who, in what order and how many, also a few at a time every month with the subscription; if the credit is not sufficient, the plugin offers the part it covers or a pack.
  • 1.0.2 — if the site keys change (for example after moving the site), the saved token is no longer read as random characters: the plugin treats it as missing and asks for it again.
  • 1.0.1 — code shared with the other RadarAddress plugins for Joomla; no change in how it works.
  • 1.0.0 — first version: address autocomplete and verification in the mapped forms, email verification with typo corrected, outcome in the submission, bulk check.
