The formdesignerlink plugin

The formdesignerlink plugin displays a form, created by the django-form-designer-ai module.

The form is displayed at the website:

Note

While the form_designer interface may not be fully up to the “UI standards” of django-fluent-contents, it is however a popular module, and hence this plugin is provided!

Installation

Install the dependencies via pip:

pip install django-fluent-contents[formdesignerlink]

This installs django-form-designer-ai.

Add the following settings to settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS += (
    'form_designer',
    'fluent_contents.plugins.formdesignerlink',
)

To display previews, the form_designer application also requires an additional line in urls.py:

urlpatterns += [
    url(r'^forms/', include('form_designer.urls')),
]

Each page can now be enriched with a form, that was created by the form_designer application.

Configuration

To customize the output, configure the django-form-designer-ai application via the settings file. Some relevant settings are:

FORM_DESIGNER_DEFAULT_FORM_TEMPLATE

Defines the default template to use to render a form. For example, the template can be rendered with django-uni-form.

FORM_DESIGNER_FORM_TEMPLATES

Defines a list of choices, to allow users to select a template.

FORM_DESIGNER_FIELD_CLASSES

A list of choices, to define which Django field types are allowed.

FORM_DESIGNER_WIDGET_CLASSES

A list of choices, to define which Django widget types are allowed.

It is also highly recommended to overwrite the form_designer/templates/html/formdefinition/base.html template, which is used to provide previews for the form in the admin interface.

Further information can be found in the source code of django-formdesigner. (e.g. settings.py).
