Create forms and embed them on CMS pages
Project description
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.
