How to use
----------

[](#how-to-use)

Create a Whitepaper object in `/admin/whitepapers` first.

Then you can add the following snippet to your templates:

```

    {{ csrfInput() }}
    {{ hiddenInput('whitepaperId', 1) }}

    Email

```

You can also create a field in Craft and use the custom field "Whitepaper", eg. in a Globals Set:

Create a field:

[![Settings - create a field](resources/img/settings-field.png)](resources/img/settings-field.png)

Create a globals set

[![Settings - create a globals set](resources/img/settings-globals.png)](resources/img/settings-globals.png)

Fill out the globals set:

[![Globals](resources/img/globals.png)](resources/img/globals.png)

Use the value in your templates:

```
{# will output the selected whitepaper id #}
{{ settings.fieldWhitepaper }}
```
