step by step form tutorial

[keneso]

Hi

I've read, and googled, and downloaded 3-4 plugins, but I am failing in adding contact form.

To be precise, I did manage to see the contact form pages provided, by the contactable, p01, contactform, basic, but I need to have 3 forms, and need to add various fields.

In any case couldn't find enough documentation, a detailed one, either how to do it with any of the above, or if I wanted to create my own form, on how to do so - I have a custom php form I used somewhere else I could use, if I knew how, needs php session to be added at the beginning of page (file) etc.

If you know of tutorials/detailed instructions of any sort please advise; like said a step by step would be ideal:
i.e.
1 - do this
2 - go to this
3 - click that
4 - ...

Thank you

You can add php via a component to your theme, or by using the Dynpages plugin, to a page.

As far as I know there isn't a form-plugin for Get-Simple at the moment appart from the many contact-form plugins. Documentation for p01-contact is here: https://github.com/nliautaud/p01contact/wiki

I tried adding my php to a component, and then adding component to template file, and when assigning a page to that template I get blank page; obviously I am doing something wrong, but don't know what.

I tried p01, and while I was able to style the fields in a more decent way, the big issue is I can't seem to be able to add more than the default fields, in the link you sent there are these examples:

Code:

(% contact %)

and

Code:

(% contact : address@domain.ext, another@domain.ext,
        subject => "About this script",
        email!,
        textarea "How old is born Napoléon?",
        phone,
        radio "Do you like this script?" = "Yes" selected | "No",
        website,
        select = "One" selected | "Two" | "Three" | "Four" | "Five" ,
        message! = "Say something",
        password = tomato,  
        captcha,
        askcopy %)

When I put the former on the page (using editor) the form is displayed, but when I put the latter the code is displayed!

Try the following with the example code:


In your editor click on Source button.

Then paste the code. Click save.

Then after saving, click save again.


That should display the form.
