Form Submissions

Hi,

Now that formbrowser isn't supported any longer for CMSMS 2.0+ , I was wondering what's the best way to capture form submissions?

I use jotform.com now and then, but some of my clients don't want to pay extra for Jotform, which is needed to remove there advertising banners.

I don't know about FormBrowser whether it's supported or not.

Though I do know it's possible to save to a LISE instance but it will require a little programming knowledge. Here you will find an somewhat outdated article about this method. It's written for ListIt2 (predecessor of LISE) but it might help anyway. https://www.i-do-this.com/blog/FormBuil ... xtended/57

CGBetterForms and CGBFCrud might be an option too (I personally never used CGBFCrud)

It is supported and afaik works fine on CMSMS 2.x. Not sure where you got that idea from.
And of course, there are also the alternatives mentioned by velden.

I read a comment from 'Rolf' in this topic, where he said he failed to get it to work with CMSMS 2.x, so that's why ;)

Well, do try and if you run into troubles let me know, or fill a BR on the forge.

Mh ok, I will try Formbuilder once again.. but in the mean time I'm started to get used to CGBetterForms which seem to me to be the better option. Or at least it's pretty straight forward, therefore it's easy to implement bootstrap-elements for example.

Only now another problem occurred; I've also installed CGBFCrud, but when I add 'Save submission to CGBFCrud' as a handler of a form, I get a HTTP ERROR 500... There are no bug-reports in the forge.. any suggestions?

Install and configure FrontEndUsers (at least one property and one group) and it should work.

I've updated the dependencies for the next release.

And do the names of the property/group matter? Is FEU connected with CGBFCrud?

The names of the properties and groups don't matter, they just need one so the fields have a reason to exist.
