General

A Django admin app with a GUI to create complex forms without any programming skills; complete with logging, validation, and redirects.

Key features:

• Design contact forms, search forms etc from the Django admin, without writing any code
• Form data can be logged and CSV-exported, sent via e-mail, or forwarded to any web address
• Integration with Django CMS: Add forms to any page
• Use drag & drop to change the position of your form fields
• Fully collapsible admin interface for better overview over your form
• Implements many form fields included with Django (TextField, EmailField, DateField etc)
• Validation rules as supplied by Django are fully configurable (maximum length, regular expression etc)
• Customizable messages and labels
• Supports POST and GET forms
• Signals on form render, submission, success, error.
• Supports google reCAPTCHA service

Basic setup

• Add form_designer to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

  INSTALLED_APPS = (
      ...
      'form_designer',
  )
  

• For basic usage, add URLs to your URL conf. For instance, in order to make a form named example-form available under http://domain.com/forms/example-form, add the following line to your project's urls.py:

  urlpatterns = patterns('',
      (r'^forms/', include('form_designer.urls')),
      ...
  )
  

  Note

  If you are using the form_designer plugin for Django CMS for making forms public, this step is not necessary.

Using Django Form Designer with Django CMS

• Add form_designer.contrib.cms_plugins.form_designer_form to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

  INSTALLED_APPS = (
      ...
      'form_designer.contrib.cms_plugins.form_designer_form',
  )
  

You can now add forms to pages created with Django CMS.

Optional requirements

The form_designer admin interface requires jQuery and the jQuery UI Sortable plugin to make building forms a lot more user-friendly. The two Javascript files are bundled with form_designer. If you want to use you own jquery.js instead because you're already including it anyway, define JQUERY_JS in your settings file. For instance:

JQUERY_JS = 'jquery/jquery-latest.js'

Running tests

Use tox.
