Forms

Features

• A form is built in the admin panel from ten field types: line, e-mail, phone, text, number, date, list, “one of”, “several of”, consent. Up to 40 fields.
• Each field has a label, hints, a “required” flag, and full or half width.
• Form labels and texts are translated into every language of the site.
• A form is available at /forms/slug and as a block that can be placed anywhere in the theme.
• Custom texts above the form, on the button and in the reply after submission.
• An entry is saved first and then sent by email: to the address set on the form, or to the site's mailbox. If the form has an e-mail field, you can reply to the message right away.
• Entries in the admin panel with the page they were sent from; a counter of new ones in the menu. Export to CSV that Excel opens without the import wizard.
• Bot protection: a honeypot field, rejection if filled in faster than three seconds, no more than eight submissions per ten minutes.

Configuration

Everything is configured on the form itself: admin panel → Forms (“Content” group) → the form. There you set the name, address, email for entries, draft or published, texts and fields. The module has no global settings. A published form's block is not added to the site automatically: place it under “Home & blocks”.

Permissions

• See forms and their entries — including CSV download.
• Build and delete forms — creating, editing and deleting forms and entries.

Both permissions are granted on installation to editors and administrators.

On the site

• /forms/slug — the page of a published form.
• A form block anywhere in the theme.

Installation and removal

Installation creates the forms and form_entries tables. Each entry keeps the field labels as they were at submission, so after a form is reworked, old entries read as before. Removing the module with data deletes both tables.

Left out on purpose

• CAPTCHA images. A bot gets the same “sent” reply as a person, so it cannot learn to get around the protection.
