Which forms to use?

[ROUBOS]

Hi,
I was wondering if people have tried both akaForms and eForms. Which one do they recomment?
I need to create a simple Reservations form and place it somewhere on my page, like a module position.

Which is simplier? Found some info on eForms in the elxis wiki, and reading it now. Have not found anything to help me with akaForms.

I have used eForms bot. You must write XML code ... However It's not so difficult  as it might seem.

[ROUBOS]

no it shouldn't be a problem to write the xml code. there is an example and all. But will I be able to place the form in a module like position? To be visible at all times?

I think that you can use : Content Item Module for that purpose.!

[ROUBOS]

thanks,
that would do it

hmmm
Once I submit, it shows the notification on both the module position (right div of page) and the mainbody, as a result I get duplicated email

and how do we setup the div to apply a nice border and background color to the form items?
 
making changes on eforms.css but they don't show

OK I just put eforms on an autonomous page and all is fine.

Is there a time field on eforms?

<item type="date" label="\\======\\" required="1" description=""></item>

[ROUBOS]

does this add the time to the date field?

result

I've used it and it adds a date selection, but not the time. Is there one for the time?

[wbread]

for what purposes should the time?
it can be replaced by another object.
if you need the time to send mail, it is easier to insert in the letter itself

Well I've created a reservation form for a car rental site. So the pickup time a car at the airport would be nice to have
