Hello there,
I am trying to bring a custom-made contact form to graph. It is made in PHP:
it gets the data from the UI-form via post then fires off either errors or an email and a success message. Pretty plain.
Is there a way to make this run in/next to graph?
I tried to just drop it in a folder. I get a 403 (Forbidden)
Tried to do it as a plugin and found out: I don’t know how.
Can someone help me with a hint?
TKS
@joh, Did you have a look at Grav’s frontend forms?
If so, would you mind sharing which aspect of the custom-made contact form cannot be implemented by Grav’s forms?
@anon76427325 Oeps, maybe I should. Thanks! Will be back soon after checking this.
@anon76427325 I am struggeling. My markup of that form is quite unique. I cannot do in the frontmatter code since it does not allow to du custom divs and stuff. :-/
@joh, That’s a pity…
There are a few options:
There are common field attributes that can be added to each field, eg. to add ‘classes’ and ‘outerclasses’ with which you might fix a few things.
An other option is to override a form template. You can copy a Twig file from the form plugin (/user/plugins/form/templates/…) into you own theme (/user/themes/mytheme/templates/forms/…) and design your own layout.
Theme Quark has overridden a few fields that way.
Wrap your custom form in a plugin. See tutorial and try again ;-).
Maybe someone on the forum can help you out if you don’t mind sharing the layout you require using pseudocode.
@anon76427325: thank you a lot for making that list.
Maybe someone looks for a similar thing. So I quickly talk about my solution:
In the end it became a version with the initially suggested frontend forms. I paired it with a custom JS that does the frontend validation.
