Copy the `formerly` directory into your `craft/plugins` directory 2. Browse to Settings > Plugins in the Craft CP 3. Click on the Install button next to Formerly Setting up forms ---------------- [](#setting-up-forms) Users (both admin and client) can easily create forms in the Formerly admin section, under the Forms tab. A form consists of: - A name, used as the title of the form that a visitor to the site may see - A handle, used to programatically refer to this form - Several emails that will be sent upon the submission of a form by a visitor - Several questions which make up the form Outputting the form ------------------- [](#outputting-the-form) A form can be rendered using, e,g. ``` {% set form = craft.formerly.form('handle') %} {% include 'form.html' with { form: form } %} ``` Where `form.html` is Twig code that iterates through the form's questions, creating form markup. An example `form.html` is provided with the source code for this plugin. You can also obtain a form instance by having a content editor select a form using the Formerly field type, e.g. ``` {% include 'form.html' with { form: entry.form } %} ``` Viewing submissions ------------------- [](#viewing-submissions) Form submissions are a Craft Element, which means that you can query them using regular `ElementCriteriaModel`s. For example, to list submissions to the `competition` form who have selected Australia as their country: ``` {% set submissions = craft.formerly.submissions('competition') .country('Australia') .sort('dateCreated desc') %} {% for submission in submissions %} Name: {{ submission.formhandle_name }} Email: {{ submission.formhandle_email }} {# ... #} {% endfor %} ``` Subscribe to Mailchimp Lists ---------------------------- [](#subscribe-to-mailchimp-lists) This function allows for subscribers to be directly subscribed to your mailchimp list. 1. When adding a form, switch `ON` the Mailchimp toggle. 2. Enter your Mailchimp username - used to sign in to mailchimp 3. Enter your Mailchimp [API key](http://kb.mailchimp.com/integrations/api-integrations/about-api-keys) 4. Enter your Mailchimp [List Id](http://kb.mailchimp.com/lists/manage-contacts/find-your-list-id) 5. For each question, if you have a [Custom Merge Tag](http://kb.mailchimp.com/merge-tags/getting-started-with-merge-tags) set in Mailchimp, you must add it under `Mailchimp Merge Tag` Each submission will then be added to the list in Mailchimp Todo ---- [](#todo) - Better validation - More question attributes, e.g. placeholder, error messages ### Health Score 27 — LowBetter than 49% of packages Maintenance9 Infrequent updates — may be unmaintained Popularity31 Limited adoption so far Community21 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity41 Maturing project, gaining track record Bus Factor2 2 contributors hold 50%+ of commits How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
