djangocms-form-builder 0.1

Adds a form editor to the structure board of django CMS.

djangocms-form-builder supports rendering of styled forms. The objective is to tightly integrate forms in the website design. djangocms-form-builder allows as many forms as you wish on one page. All forms are ajax/xhr-based. To this end, djangocms-form-builder extends the django CMS plugin model allowing a form plugin to receive ajax post requests.

There are two different ways to manage forms with djangocms-form-builder:

1. Building a form with django CMS’ powerful structure board. This is fast an easy. It integrates smoothly with other design elements, especially the grid elements allowing to design simple responsive forms.

   Form actions can be configured by form. Built in actions include saving the results in the database for later evaluation and mailing submitted forms to the site admins. Other form actions can be registered.

2. Works with django CMS v4 and djangocms-alias to manage your forms centrally. Djangocms-alias becomes your form editor and forms can be placed on pages by refering to them with their alias.

3. Registering an application-specific form with djangocms-form-builder. If you already have forms you may register them with djangocms-form-builder and allow editors to use them in the form plugin. If you only have simpler design requirements, djangocms-form-builder allows you to use fieldsets as with admin forms.
