Custom Forms with SilverStripe
==============================

[](#custom-forms-with-silverstripe)

Define you custom form fields in your created `CustomFormPage` with this straight forward syntax:

```
    {{ FieldName | My Field: | Dropdown | { "Option1": "Foo", "Option2": "Bar" } }}
    {{ FieldName * | My Required Field: | Textarea }}
    {{ Captcha |  | Recaptcha }}

```

You can use as many form fields as you like.

Requirements
------------

[](#requirements)

- SilverStripe 4+

Arguments
---------

[](#arguments)

The following arguments are listed separated by `|` in each `{{ }}` form field block (sequence of arguments is *not* arbitrary):

1. Name: String as CamelCase describing the name of your field; e.g.: `Email`, `FirstName` … \* the field is required, if ends with `*`; e.g.: `Email *`
2. Title: String as title, can contain every character except the `|` seperator; e.g. `Your eMail:`
3. Class of Field: Can be every existing field class, without the `Field` appendix; e.g.: `Text`, `Textarea`, `Email`, `Dropdown` …
4. (assoc.) Array as option for the field \* optional \* must be JSON \* required for DropDownField for instance

Usage in Templates
------------------

[](#usage-in-templates)

You can access the form via `$CustomForm`:

```

    $Title
    $CustomForm

```

Comments and HTML tags
----------------------

[](#comments-and-html-tags)

You can use comments `#` and using html tags. HTML tags will be converted to SilverStripe LiteralFields:

```
    # My advanced Poll Form Desctiption
    {{ Email * | Your eMail (required): | Email }}

    Additional Information
    # Description of something
    {{ Age | Your age: | Dropdown | { "Under20": "younger or just 20", "Over20": "older than 20" } }}

```

Exclude Fields in form submission
---------------------------------

[](#exclude-fields-in-form-submission)

You can explicitly prevent fields to be written in the submission. Just define them in your config:

```
CustomFormPageSubmission:
  excludeParameters:
    - Foo
    - Bar
```

Template variables
------------------

[](#template-variables)

You can check `$FormWasSuccessfullySended` and `$FormWasSubmitted` in your template.
