Introduction

FormCorral provides a simple and effective way to capture form data that can be emailed, downloaded as a CSV, and/or viewed in Drupal's admin online.

It came about as a result of our development of (among other things) this site, after we realized that we were reinventing the wheel each time we had to create a new form.

Ideal uses

  • Capture data for a custom contact form
  • Define custom validation rules
  • Simplify creation of new forms

How do you access a newly created list?

Hey guys,
This looks great and exactly what I am looking for however, I can't seem to find out how to access a form once it's been created. Where do I add the code to display it?

FormCorral for capture only?

The FormCorral only creates a repository for form submissions.. In order to use it you will still need to create a module that implements the required FormAPI bits to display the form.

I'd suggest looking at the FormCorral announcement in our blog for details on using formCorral with a formAPI implementation in a module.

We do plan on extending the module to add a "form builder" that can be themed. We've delayed it because of upcoming changes in drupal 6 in the FormAPI, the details of which are here.

Thanks for letting us know

The tarball has been fixed. Also, we will be posting this on Drupal.org and maintaining it from there soon.

Translation errors

Thank you for your new module. I'm eager to try it out.

However, looking quickly the module code, there is a lot of missing t().

"#description" => "The name of this validation . . .

versus

"#description" => t("Select the type of rule, . . .

Do you want me to post an issue on Drupal?

Keep up the good work.

Please do file an issue

That'd be a great help for keeping track of things. :)

Yes, pleqse do.

Hey Jacques:

Thanks for the comment.

YES! Please do file an issue if you haven't done so already.

This module is under active development (we're just waiting for the code freeze for FormAPI stuff - I think there are only three outstanding public issues left to get resolved) before we add a bunch more functionality.

If you find anything else, let us know (here or on the Drupal.org page)

Capture data?

If i create new form where the users can access it?

Keep in mind that FormCorral

Keep in mind that FormCorral doesn't create the formAPI implementation for you. It's planned in a future release, but will likely not make it in until after Drupal 6 is launched.

For information on how to hook FormCorral into a FormAPI implementation, see our FormCorral blog post.

I wish I had read the

I wish I had read the comments before installing this now useless module. I was really excited about using it until it was clear that I had to grock the formAPI myself.

Drupal 5.1 is going to be around for a while as upgrading usually doesn't fully cascade for months.

This makes me sad. :(

Webforms

How does this module compares to webform?

This module sounds like what

This module sounds like what I need, but it does not work. I get errors on every page except the create and view list pages. Is anyone else having these issues? (drupal 5.2, php 5.1.6)
