Xform Widget

Creating an "xform" form can only be done after creating a table in the database (located in the admin panel) and fields to collect the various pieces of information. Xform actually represents the visible part of the table created in the database. It makes it possible to display the different fields created in a given table, and of course to collect the information from the site (frontend). 

Step 1 : Add an xform widget

To get started

  1. click the add "widget list" button in your site's admin.
  2. In the window that appears, look for the word "form" at the very top. This will allow you to view the xform widget directly.
  3. Click on add.

Etape 2 : Configure Xform widget

Click on the wigdet burger menu to edit it. Then click on "informations about the form" or any other menu you can see. A new window will appear. This is where you can configure your widget to display the table you've created before.  

General Tab

Fill in the following fields:

  • Table : Select from the drop-down menu your table
  • Fields : You can select the different fields you want to display. Note that, even if a field is defined as mandatory in your table, you can decide not to display it in your widget. This option allows you for example to provide features in your table for the future without having to display them in xform if you are not ready yet.
  • Captcha : To display or not a captcha. A captcha is a system allowing to ban with more or less success automatic scripts. The captcha service used by xform is Google Recaptcha. Very popular, it's free. To fill in the fields provided in xform, you need to create a recaptcha account and from your dashboard pick up the information you need for Xform.
