Django Form Designer (KCS Fork)

Acknowledgements

This project is a fork of https://github.com/samluescher/django-form-designer . Thanks, @samluescher!

This fork is compatible with Django 5.2+ and Python 3.10+.

General

A Django admin app with a GUI to create complex forms without any programming skills; complete with logging, validation, and redirects.

Key features:

• Design contact forms, search forms etc from the Django admin, without writing any code
• Form data can be logged and CSV-exported, sent via e-mail, or forwarded to any web address
• Use drag & drop to change the position of your form fields
• Fully collapsible admin interface for better overview over your form
• Implements many form fields included with Django (TextField, EmailField, DateField etc)
• Validation rules as supplied by Django are fully configurable (maximum length, regular expression etc)
• Customizable messages and labels
• Supports POST and GET forms
• Signals on form render, submission, success, error.
• Supports google reCAPTCHA service

Basic setup

• Add form_designer to your INSTALLED_APPS setting:

  INSTALLED_APPS = (
      ...
      'form_designer',
  )
  

• For basic usage, add URLs to your URL conf. For instance, in order to make a form named example-form available under http://domain.com/forms/example-form, add the following line to your project's urls.py:

  urlpatterns = patterns('',
      (r'^forms/', include('form_designer.urls')),
      ...
  )
  

Admin interface

The form_designer admin interface adds drag-and-drop reordering and collapsible fieldsets to make building forms a lot more user-friendly. This builds on the jQuery that the Django admin already ships (django.jQuery), so there is nothing extra to configure.

Running tests

Use tox.
