How to create a contact form, request form or other form, so that users can enter information into an online form and the system can automatically email that information to your email address.

Login to Admin Mode and go to the page that you want to the online form added to by clicking on that page's link in the navigation (or create a new page if you want the form on a new page).

Once you are on the correct page, hover your mouse over the "Page" link located near the top of the page. The Page Menu will appear.

Hover over the "Add to This Page" option and a sub-menu will appear.

Click on the "Email Form" option on the sub-menu. This will add an EmailForm block to the bottom of the page.

You will be asked some information about your new form, such as what email address you want the user input sent to, whether you want to add a hard-coded preamble or postamble to the automatically generated email message, if you wanted to display a "Thank you for ....." message after the user has submitted their information, whether you want a CAPTCHA challenge box generated, etc. Enter your answers to the initial block of questions.

Next you will be able to add any number of questions to your form. You can select the type of answer that you will allow for each of your questions, such as a Single Line answer, a Multi-Line answer (text area), a select box, radio buttons, or checkboxes. There is additional help information beside these fields to describe how to select each possible option. You may enter any number of questions.

You may optionally change the order of the questions using the up-arrow and down-arrow buttons.

Once you are done entering the questions, press the [Save Changes] button.

Test It: You should now use your new form as a user and make sure it works as desired. See if the questions are as you expected, and submit some answers to receive a test email to the email address that you specified.

To move the EmailForm block to the desired location on the page (if there are multiple blocks on the current page), refer to the "How do a change the order of blocks on a page" help entry.

To add a CAPTCHA Challenge Box to an existing Email Form, refer to the "How Do I Add a CAPTCHA Challenge Box to an Email Form" help entry.
