Most important features

• Input elements and all other form details are declared in an XML file with simple syntax even for newbies.
• Forms are multilingual.

Examples
A few example of how you declare form items in XML files.

A text input field:
<item type="text" name="name" label="FIRSTNAME" default="{FIRSTNAME}" tip="Please write your name"></item>

A date picker:
<item type="date" name="date" label="DATE" required="1" default="{TOMORROW}" tip="" />

An "I am not a robot" captcha field:
<item type="norobot" name="notrobot" label="" default="" tip="" />

Hi datahell,
with ANYFORM, is it possible to add an upload button to allow user to attach a file to their submission?

[datahell]

It is possible but now it is not supported, mostly for security reasons.

[seadhna]

Do you have any advice on how I could allow users to upload a document with their form?
I tried using Professional Form Manager but it's not compatible with the latest version of Elxis.
If AnyForm is not an option either, are there any other options?
Thanks for any advice you can give!

[datahell]

AnyForm updated to version 2.1. From this version AnyForm supports generating Image and File upload fields. After clicking submit the files/images get uploaded in folder media/anyform/ and also a download link is sent to the form's recipient email. This link is protected, if the site guest also gets the email there is no download link for him. Except from file uploads version 2.1 sends beautiful HTML e-mails.

Μπράβο Γιάννη! Πολύ καλή δουλειά!

[datahell]

Thank you guys. If I find some time I will improve it even more.

[seadhna]

This is a great plugin with a great improvement in the new version. If we choose to store submissions to the database, how do we access/view the submissions afterwards? Is it possible via Elxis or only via directly accessing the SQL database.

[datahell]

Both options are possible. However the Elxis option requires to develop a special module or component in order to read the database entries, and maybe even edit/delete them. For now there is no such extension available. So, the working solution you have right now is PHPMyAdmin.

Ok, thanks!
Is there any way to make any of these form items visible in the automatic email: 3.37 note, 3.38 info, 3.39 custom, 3.40 html
What I would love to do is add some custom HTML that appears in the email.
