Aldryn Forms allows you to build flexible HTML forms for your Aldryn and django CMS projects, and to integrate them directly in your pages.
Forms can be assembled using the form builder, with the familiar simple drag-and-drop interface of the django CMS plugin system.
Submitted data is stored in the Django database, and can be explored and exported using the admin, while forms can be configured to send a confirmation message to users.
Choose a site you want to install the add-on to from the dashboard. Then go to Apps -> Install app
and click Install
next to Forms
app.
Redeploy the site.
Version 2.0 introduced a new model for form data storage called FormSubmission
.
The old FormData
model has been deprecated.
Although the FormData
model's data is still accessible through the admin, all new form data will be stored in the new
FormSubmission
model.
Run pip install aldryn-forms
.
Update INSTALLED_APPS
with
INSTALLED_APPS = [ … 'absolute', 'aldryn_forms', 'aldryn_forms.contrib.email_notifications', 'captcha', 'emailit', 'filer', … ]
Configure aldryn-boilerplates
(https://pypi.python.org/pypi/aldryn-boilerplates/).
To use the old templates, set ALDRYN_BOILERPLATE_NAME='legacy'
.
To use https://github.com/aldryn/aldryn-boilerplate-standard (recommended, will be renamed to
aldryn-boilerplate-bootstrap3
) set ALDRYN_BOILERPLATE_NAME='bootstrap3'
.
Also ensure you define an e-mail backend for your app.
You can create forms in the admin interface now. Search for the label Aldryn_Forms
.
Create a CMS page and install the Forms
app there (choose Forms
from the Advanced Settings -> Application
dropdown).
Now redeploy/restart the site again.
The above CMS site has become a forms POST landing page – a place where submission errors get displayed if there are any.
