Select the Page module to insert a form on a page. All explanations in this tutorial are performed in this module.

Insert form

A form can be inserted on a page like any other content element. The corresponding content element is located in the Plug-Ins tab in the "Create new content element" wizard. Select it; you will now be taken to the new plug-in.

In the General tab, only the heading can be defined for a form. Next, the form plug-in can be configured.

Configure form

When a form plug-in is newly created, no form is selected yet. In the Plug-In tab, select the appropriate form. You will be prompted to confirm the selection. After confirmation, the finishers can be configured. Normally, the finishers should already be correct, but they can be overwritten locally.

Quick guide: All in one

The following six steps allow you to insert and configure a form. As an example, a form is used where "Confirmation message", "Email to receiver (you)" and " Email to sender (from submitter)" are selected as finishers.

Below the images you will find the corresponding explanatory text.

1: Open "Create New Content Element" and select Form Plugin

General settings — 2: Enter general information (e.g. heading and heading type).

Change of the form — 3: If another form is selected, it is asked if this should be done. This is done because it may be that certain fields are not present.

Configure form - "Confirmation text — 4: Select confirmation text (will be displayed after the form is closed). It can be a content element (e.g. grid element with various content elements) or alternatively a text.

Configure finisher - receiver of form data — 5: The tab "Email to receiver (you)" determines where the form data will be sent to. The person who filled out the form is not the "receiver"! The red marked field contains the email address. It is recommended to adjust also the fields "Subject of the email" and "Human-readable name of the recipient".
