Forms for Plone
Project description
Introduction
Collective.easyform enables creation of custom forms using dexterity. This Plone package is similar to Products.PloneFormGen that is based on Archetypes. Dexterity is a new platform for content types in Plone and will be used instead of Archetypes in Plone 5. Easyform provides a Plone form builder through-the-web using fields, widgets, actions and validators.
Similarly to PloneFormGen, Easyform is used to generate web forms that save or mail form input. Simple and user-friendly interface allows non-programmers to create custom forms.
Usage
Install product (in your buildout.cfg add ‘collective.easyform’ to the eggs section), rerun your Plone instance and activate Collective.easyform.
Choose Easyform from the ‘Add new’ drop-down menu. Insert form title, description and other settings.
Add fields or fieldsets to create a unique form that will meet your particular requirements. There are enough basic field types to satisfy any demands: File Upload, Text line (String), Integer, Yes/No, Date, Date/Time, Floating-point number, Choice, Rich Text, Image, Multiple Choice, Text, Password, ReСaptcha field.
Continue to customize form by setting the order of fields, defining required and hidden ones, choosing validator, if necessary, and other field type specific settings.

Compatibility
Plone 4.3.2
Changelog
1.0.0 (2021-11-24)
Backport PloneFormGen migration from 2.x. [thomasmassmann]
1.0a4 (2020-11-17)
NOTE: if you deploy 1.0.4+, the easyform extended validations start working again on fields in extra field sets (they only worked on the main/default fields). This could cause some issues if those validators, or default values, were misconfigured in the first place.
New:
Add ‘easyform-thankspage’ css class to the content-core div if the thankspage is displayed. Combined with the header_injection field you can style elements only for the thankspage, for example as a workaround to remove empty fieldsets (#154). [fredvd]
Move the default xml configuration out into xml files. These can be picked up by i18ndude or other po file generators for translations strings. Also translate the FIELDS_DEFAULT fields. [thet]
Add German translations. [thet]
Allow the definition of some EasyForm default values via the i18n translation mechanism. [thet]
Reworked mail address formating, avoiding recipient address in the form of name <<account@domain.com>> and having instead name <account@domain.com>. [thet]
Depend on plone.schemaeditor > 2.0 for JS compatibility. [thet]
Fixes:
For increased security, in the modeleditor do not resolve entities, and remove processing instructions. [maurits]
Fixed validation, inline validation, and defaults for fields in fieldsets. Refs issues #172 and ` #157 <https://github.com/collective/collective.easyform/issues/157>`_. [frevd, maurits]
Fix inline validation. Backport for 1.x from #59 . Possibly also closes #5 (running spinner). [tomgross, fredvd]
Fixed errors with header_injection implementation. [maurits]
Add missing header_injection implementation. Backport for 1.x from #152. [krissik, fredvd]
Fixed filtering of fields on thanks page and mailer template. We show the correct fields now. In the mailer, the order is also what we selected. [maurits]
fix plone.schemaeditor i18n factory import. This fixes 5.0.1 support
Reverted some Plone 5 fixes that prevented collective.easyform from working anymore on Plone 4.3, in particular some modals/overlays. [fredvd]
