version 2.7.1

What's Included

Form Builder includes an administrative interface for BigTree users to create forms with the following field types: Section Break, Columns, Single Line Text, Paragraph Text, Checkboxes, Radio Buttons, Dropdown List, File Upload, Name, Date, Address, Email, Website, Phone, CAPTCHA.

A template is also included for displaying the form on the front end of your website. The template supports capturing user submissions to the database as well as setting up a list of email addresses for alerts.

Developer Notes

Form Builder also supports paid forms when one of the Payment Gateways is setup in the Developer section of BigTree. It's recommended that you serve the template over HTTPS if you're using paid forms (call $cms->makeSecure(); to force HTTPS and rewrite asset URLs to HTTPS).

You're free to update the template to best suit your site's designs. Keep in mind if you update your template files in the /extensions/ directory they will be overwritten when you update the extension.
