  • What it does

    Simple Custom Forms lets you make your own forms, such as a contact form, a survey or an application. Responses are saved on the site and can also be emailed to your admins.

    ACP > Modules > Forms > Simple Custom Forms

  • Creating a form

    Tools > Create a Custom Form:

    Field What it does
    Form Name Lowercase letters and underscores, such as contact_us. The form will be at yoursite.com/form/contact_us.
    Form Title Shown above the form and as the page title
    Form Message Optional text above the form, for instructions
    Form Login Only signed-in users can see the form
    Form Unique Each user can send the form only once. Needs Form Login.
    Form Notify Email each response to the master admins, or to all admins, or only store it

    The form starts with a single Content field. You go straight to the Form Designer, where you add your own fields and change that one.

    Visitors who aren't signed in also get a spam-bot check box.

  • Version 1.3.8 and earlier don't save the Form Notify choice when a form is created, so new forms always email the master admins. Change it under settings after creating the form. Those versions also don't stop a second response with Form Unique. Both are fixed in version 1.4.0.

  • Managing forms

    The Form Browser tab lists your forms. Each form has these buttons:

    Button What it does
    The form name Opens the form
    responses The responses it has received
    fields Opens it in the Form Designer
    settings Changes its title, message and options
    delete Deletes it
  • Putting a form on a page

    • Link to it: add yoursite.com/form/(name) to your menu.
    • Site Builder: add the Embedded Form widget. Choose the Form to Embed, and whether to Show Form Help.
  • Notifications

    Admins choose how they hear about new responses with New Form Response in their Notifications settings.
