Quick Start for Integrators
You are an integrator, your admin or you installed the form extension and you want to get started quickly? Just follow these steps!
-
Include TypoScript sets
First, open the
TypoScript
module in the backend and edit your root TypoScript record. Under the tab "Includes", ensure that Fluid Content Elements (fluid_styled_content) and Form (form) are among the selected items. Save the record. -
Create a new form
Go to the
Forms
module, and create a new form there. With the help of the form editor you can build appealing forms easily. -
Move the form definition
If you wish, you can move the form definition to a dedicated extension.
-
Provide a translation
You can also provide a translation of your form, if needed. This is done in an .xlf file which has to be registered in your YAML configuration.
-
Insert your form in a page
The final step is inserting the form in the desired page(s).
- Open the page module in the backend.
- Select the desired page.
- Create a new content element of type "Form". You can find this one under the tab "Form Elements".
- Under the tab "Plugin", choose the desired form.
- If needed, you can select "Override finisher settings" under the "Plugin" tab. Save the content element.
- Repeat steps 2 to 5 until the form is inserted in every page requiring it.
You should now be able to view your form on the frontend. Enjoy!
