Usage:
======

1. In admin, create the fields you want to be part of the form.
2. Create a new template and assign your fields to this template.
3. Create another template for your contact form page (if you don't already have one).
4. Use the example below as a starting point for this contact form page:

$form = $modules->get('FormTemplateProcessor');
$form->template = $templates->get('my_contact_form_template'); // required
$form->requiredFields = array('fullname', 'email');
$form->email = 'your@email.com'; // optional, sends form as email
$form->parent = $page; // optional, saves form as page
echo $form->render(); // draw form or process submitted form

5. Use CSS to style the fields. See below for a suggested starting point:

.Inputfields,
.Inputfields li {
list-style: none;
margin: 1em 0;
padding: 0;
}

.Inputfields li label {
font-weight: bold;
}

.Inputfields li p {
margin: 0;
}

.Inputfields li p.description {
font-style: italic;
}

.Inputfields textarea,
.Inputfields .InputfieldMaxWidth {
width: 100%;
}

.Inputfields .InputfieldSubmit label {
display: none;
}

.ui-state-error-text {
color: red;
}

“We chose ProcessWire because of its excellent architecture, modular extensibility and the internal API. The CMS offers the necessary flexibility and performance for such a complex website like superbude.de. ProcessWire offers options that are only available for larger systems, such as Drupal, and allows a much slimmer development process.” —xport communication GmbH
