[](#installation-using-composer)

The recommended way to install the extension is using Composer.

Run the following command within your Composer based TYPO3 project:

[](#installation-as-extension-from-typo3-extension-repository-ter)

Download and install `form_tools` with the extension manager module.

### 2.2 Minimal setup

[](#22-minimal-setup)

1. Check if DB table `tx_formtools_requests` was created successfully
2. Open your TypoScript file or record
3. Add: `plugin.tx_form.settings.yamlConfigurations.1234 = EXT:form_tools/Configuration/Form/StoreAsXml.yaml`
4. Now you can use our finisher with identifier: `StoreFieldsAsXmlToDb`
5. Add: `plugin.tx_form.settings.yamlConfigurations.2345 = EXT:form_tools/Configuration/Form/Checkboxlink.yaml`
6. Add: `module.tx_form.settings.yamlConfigurations.2345 = EXT:form_tools/Configuration/Form/Checkboxlink.yaml`
7. Add: ```
     lib.formLegalUid = TEXT
     lib.formLegalUid.value = 1 # or e.g.: {$form.legalUid}

    ```

    to your SETUP and define a target for the "Data protection notice" link.
8. Now you can use the form element with type: `Checkboxlink`

### 2.3 Finisher StoreFieldsAsXmlToDb

[](#23-finisher-storefieldsasxmltodb)

Copy the finisher to your form YAML file.

```

  -
    options:
      -
        table: tx_formtools_requests
        mode: insert
        elements:
          text-1:
            mapOnDatabaseColumn: first_name
          name:
            mapOnDatabaseColumn: last_name
          telefon:
            mapOnDatabaseColumn: telephone
          strasse:
            mapOnDatabaseColumn: address
          plzort:
            mapOnDatabaseColumn: city
          email:
            mapOnDatabaseColumn: email
          textarea-2:
            mapOnDatabaseColumn: message
        databaseColumnMappings:
          pid:
            value: 12107
          tstamp:
            value: '{__currentTimestamp}'
          crdate:
            value: '{__currentTimestamp}'
    identifier: StoreFieldsAsXmlToDb

```

- Some fields like `first_name` till `message` already exist in the Datatbase. You can map your renderables to them.
- Set the pid where your mails should be saved (e.g. the same where your plugin resides).
- The database field `xml` will automaticaly contain all posted data.
