This module integrates silverstripe/silverstripe-userforms into dnadesign/silverstripe-elemental and provides a new content block called "Form", which can be used to create user defined forms.
composer require dnadesign/silverstripe-elemental-userforms
Once installed, you will see a "Form" option when adding a new element to a page:
From here, editing the form is the same as using the UserForms module normally. Please refer to the UserForms module documentation for more information.
Note that if you apply the ElementalPageExtension to a high-level class like SiteTree or Page, the default UserDefinedForm page from the UserForms module will also be available in your CMS. This can be confusing to a user, especially if you can add a Form to a UserDefinedForm page which already has everything it needs from the UserForms module by default.
There are valid use cases where this might be what you want (or variations of it), however we would recommend applying the ElementalPageExtension to subclasses of Page and excluding the UserDefinedForm class from this extension to avoid this situation from happening.
Please note that form elements are not inline editable. Clicking on them in the CMS will take you to a GridField edit form instead.
silverstripe/silverstripe-userforms includes default CSS and Javascript. If you want to block them from being included in your page when using ElementForm
, you will need to set the configuration flag at the ElementForm
level.
