Form Designer - a simple form designer for FeinCMS
Project description
This form designer does not try to offer every last configuration possibility of Django’s forms, just through the administration interface instead of directly in Python code. Instead, it strives to be a tool which everyone can use right away, without the need for long explanations.
It offers a small set of predefined input fields such as:
Text fields (One line and multi line widgets possible)
E-mail address fields
Checkboxes
Dropdowns
Radio Buttons
Multiple selection checkboxes
Hidden input fields
Every field can optionally be declared mandatory, default values and help texts are available too. That’s it.
By default, form data is sent by e-mail to a freely definable e-mail address and stored in the database (a CSV export of saved submissions is provided too). It is possible to add your own actions, but that’s not documented yet. These actions aren’t hardcoded – they can be freely defined for every form defined through this form designer.
Configuring the export
The CSV export of form submissions uses the Python’s CSV module, the Excel dialect and UTF-8 encoding by default. If your main target is Excel, you should probably add the following setting to work around Excel’s abysmal handling of CSV files encoded in anything but latin-1:
FORM_DESIGNER_EXPORT = {
'encoding': 'latin-1',
}
You may add additional keyword arguments here which will be used during the instantiation of csv.writer.
ReCaptcha
To enable [ReCaptcha](http://www.google.com/recaptcha) install [django-recaptcha](https://github.com/praekelt/django-recaptcha) and add captcha to your INSTALLED_APPS. This will automatically add a ReCaptcha field to the form designer. For everything else read through the django-recaptcha readme.
Override field types
Define FORM_DESIGNER_FIELD_TYPES in your settings file like:
FORM_DESIGNER_FIELD_TYPES = 'your_project.form_designer_config.FIELD_TYPES'
In your_project.form_designer_config.py something like:
from django import forms
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _
FIELD_TYPES = [
('text', _('text'), forms.CharField),
('email', _('e-mail address'), forms.EmailField),
]
