You can now create simple feedback forms directly from the visual editor.
Pre-configured forms
We have pre-configured some forms which can be embedded in the visual editor, from the menu "Embed".
Currently only the "Excellence report" form is available, but you can suggest to us other forms that may be useful to more than one trust, and we will try to add them.
A placeholder for the form will be added to the visual editor, and after you save the page, the actual form will appear in the page.
You can add text and headings before and after the form.
Please contact us to suggest other pre-made forms to be added.
Sample custom form
Below is the text which you would write in the page, and after it, the actual form that will be produced after you save the page.
[DEMOFORM]
Note: the report will include your name and e-mail address.
[Text] Name of the person you wish to nominate
[Mtext] Reason for your Excellence Report nomination
[Checkbox] Are you happy to be named on the recipient's certificate?
Fill the form fields, and click on "Submit form". The current demo form is not functional, but it will show the information that would be sent to the maintainer of the page and to the administrator of the domain.
Usage
It is very easy to make a form in the visual editor. Below, bold is only used for the concepts to stand out, in an actual page you don't need to use bold (all formatting is ignored).
Create a bulleted list where the first bullet contains only [FORM] (uppercase):
[FORM]
Other bullets are either form fields, or text paragraphs.
More fields.
To add a form field in a new list item, put its type in brackets, followed by the label or question:
[Text] Your specialty
The following form field types are available:
[Text] Short text field (1 line).
[Mtext] Multiline text field.
[Checkbox] Group of square checkboxes in a nested list (multiple can be checked):
Answer A
Answer B
[Radio] Group of round "radio" buttons in a nested list (only one can be checked):
Yes
No
To make a field required, add an asterisk "*" in the brackets, as in [Text*] or [Checkbox*].
When a form is posted, the report will automatically include the following pieces of information, so you don't need to write them or ask the users to provide them:
Date and time, and name and email address of the user who submitted the form.
Toolbox domain and page title, and a link to the page containing the form.
The report is sent to the "Page maintainer email address" which can be set from the Wrench menu, and to the "Contact email address" which is set in the "Administration" form on your homepage. If you require recipients different from these 2 fields, please contact the support team.
As always, if you have any questions or difficulties, please contact is at support@dr-toolbox.com.
