The Form content type

The form content type provides a simple way to add forms to the body of your page. Form submissions can be set to send a notification email to yourself, a confirmation email to the client, and even to automatically insert the client's details into the Registrants table*

*Requires the registration module. This is part of the promote package.

Content type form fields

1. Content tab

1. Form HTML
   Enter the HTML of the form to appear on the page of your website. To get you started why not copy and paste one of our sample forms and remove or update the fields to your liking.
   The following 4 options will not be displayed until the Form HTML has been saved.
2. Email field
   Select from the list of fields within your form's HTML which field corresponds to the user's email address.
3. First name field
   Select from the list of fields within your form's HTML which field corresponds to the user's first name. If only a single field is used to capture the user's full name then select it here.
4. Last name field
   Select from the list of fields within your form's HTML which field corresponds to the user's last name. If only a single field is used to capture the user's full name then leave this blank.
5. Form target
   Select the page you wish to load once the user successfully submits the form. A common approach is to create a thank you page, as a sub-page to the form's page, containing information directing the user on through your site.

2. Registrants tab

   This tab is only available with the Registrants module.
1. Group assignment
   By selecting a registrant group from this option all successful form submissions will be added to the registrants component and assigned to the specified group. The values of the fields specified by the Email, First name, and Last name fields will be used to populate the registrant's data.
