Formulaire is a premium extension bringing an advanced form builder to Flarum.

Multiple form types are included:

Standalone

Similar to Google Forms.

These forms are not linked to other flarum resources and you can control who is allowed to create or fill them.
The author of submissions is recorded for logged in users.
You can customize max submissions and configure email notifications.

Example use cases: contact form, survey, event registration, ...

Planned features: submission limit per user, anonymous submissions, editable submissions for guests.

User profile

Similar to Flagrow Masquerade.

Each user profile form becomes a new page under a user profile.

At the moment the profile fields are private.
Only moderators and the user itself can see the answers.

Each form can be configured so that only members of a given group must fill it.

Example use cases: private contact info, payment details, curriculum vitae, ...

Planned features: public profile, user card fields, registration fields.

Discussion fields (beta)

Similar to Flagrow Mason.

The fields show up on discussions.
The discussion author is able to edit them.

This feature is in beta and fields can only be filled after a discussion has been created for now.

Planned features: fields in discussion composer.

Great extension @clarkwinkelmann ! I'll for sure be giving this a spin, as I can see that this will be extremely useful for my forum niche.

Hey @clarkwinkelmann ,

Amazing Extension! Two questions for you:

Do individual form submissions appear as discussions? What does the submissions area look like?
If we wanted to trial the extension, any idea the best way to go about it? @luceos this may be a question for you as well.

Cheers,
Andrew

theportablegeek If we wanted to trial the extension, any idea the best way to go about it? @luceos this may be a question for you as well.

Flagrow v2 (called extiverse) offers the developer the ability to configure a trial period for the extension. Whether the developer uses that is up to them. A trial period is a bit tough for extremely stable extensions though, because I will not force an uninstall (yet) of already installed premium extensions.

In my opinion, a trial period would make most sense for extensions early on. When new versions are still bound to happen. An upgrade would thus be blocked after the trial period ends and you decide to not pay for the extension.

What I do consider in the near future, to make up for the inability to test, is to offer one testing environment with all premium extensions installed and enabled. Similar to the current demo sites Flarum has.

theportablegeek Do individual form submissions appear as discussions? What does the submissions area look like?

There's a special page for submissions of each form. I'll add screenshots when I find the time, but it's really just a table with the date, user and a link to see the content. It's all part of the "form manager" section of the forum that's added by the extension.

theportablegeek If we wanted to trial the extension, any idea the best way to go about it?

You can send me a message over email of Discord and I can give you an admin access to the demo website if you would like. There's no option to trial on your own forum at this time, but I'll consider the demo feature of Extiverse when it becomes available.

I have just published a video introduction to the extension features.

My website has also been updated to offer the new install instructions and links for Extiverse (which replaces flagrow.io) https://kilowhat.net/flarum/extensions/formulaire

The price stay the same, though any tax/VAT is now included in the $5/month, so it might be a tiny bit cheaper if you cancel your flagrow.io subscription and move to Extiverse.

Version 1.0.2 - May 6, 2020

Fix issues with drag and drop in form editor and multi-field
Use new beta 13 features, add beta 13 compatibility

The new version only works on beta 13, and should install automatically when you update your forum to beta 13 via the official Flarum instructions.

If that doesn't work, you can temporarily remove the extension and install it again once you are on beta 13.

New pricing plan

With Extiverse now supporting multiple plans per extensions, I am adding a yearly plan to this extension.

You now have the choice between:

Monthly at $5/month
Yearly at $50/year (save ~16%)
