README

Forms in Craft, made easy

This is a Craft 3 port of the popular Craft 2 a&m impact forms plugin. Please do not use this yet

Below is the original README

CP functionality

When users have permission to access the plugin, they can do various stuff in the CP. There's an extra setting that'll allow users to control the plugin's settings.

Forms

You're able to activate submissions and / or notifications. This means you could choose to ignore the submissions if you want to, but only receive notifications when a form was submitted.

NewForm

Notifications are activated, and all information will be filled out by default. The Sender name and email addresses fields will automatically contain the information from your email settings in Craft's CP.

Notifications

The plugin will use it's own templates to display forms and email submissions. You have the option to override these templates in general or per form! Just create your own folder in the templates folder (e.g.: _amforms) and create a template that you would like to override. You can see the default template names in the placeholders, so if you create your own template with the same name, you could choose to make this your default templates for all your forms. When you create a template with a different name, you could create a template per form.

This tab is only available to admins.

Templates

Fields

When you install the plugin, you get some commonly used fields by default. The fields that are created are stored in a different context / scope than Craft's fields. This means that you're able to reuse these fields in any form and that they won't be shown in Craft's field list.

Fields

Export

You have the option to export your submissions per form. You'll be able to choose which fields you'd like to be included in your export (Matrix supported!). When you create an export, it'll start a task that export your submissions into a file located in your storage folder. When it's done, you're able to download the file or restart the export.

Automatic clean up

To automatically delete old submissions, enable Clean up submissions, configure the threshold (e.g. -4 weeks) and set up a cronjob to periodically call https://<yourDomain>/actions/simple-forms/submissions/clean-up. Example /etc/crontab entry (cleans up every day at 1:23 AM):

23 1 * * * root curl -s https://<yourDomain>/actions/simple-forms/submissions/clean-up &>> /var/log/simple-forms-cleanup.log
