The ``wagtailforms`` module allows you to set up single-page forms, such as a 'Contact us' form, as pages of a Wagtail site. It provides a set of base models that site implementers can extend to create their own ``FormPage`` type with their own site-specific templates. Once a page type has been set up in this way, editors can build forms within the usual page editor, consisting of any number of fields. Form submissions are stored for later retrieval through a new 'Forms' section within the Wagtail admin interface; in addition, they can be optionally e-mailed to an address specified by the editor.
``AbstractEmailForm`` defines the fields ``to_address``, ``from_address`` and ``subject``, and expects ``form_fields`` to be defined. Any additional fields are treated as ordinary page content - note that ``FormPage`` is responsible for serving both the form page itself and the landing page after submission, so the model definition should include all necessary content fields for both of those views.
If you do not want your form page type to offer form-to-email functionality, you can inherit from AbstractForm instead of ``AbstractEmailForm``, and omit the ``to_address``, ``from_address`` and ``subject`` fields from the ``content_panels`` definition.
You now need to create two templates named ``form_page.html`` and ``form_page_landing.html`` (where ``form_page`` is the underscore-formatted version of the class name). ``form_page.html`` differs from a standard Wagtail template in that it is passed a variable ``form``, containing a Django ``Form`` object, in addition to the usual ``self`` variable. A very basic template for the form would thus be:
