I am an absolute novice to django-cms. I have gone through the tutorial and configured it exactly the same as mentioned in the documentation. Now, I have to build an application which uses a form to upload products.
I dont have a clue as to how to move ahead with it. I want to start it with simple forms as if now, say, a username and password textbox kind of. How can I use django forms in the django-cms page? I have snippet plugin enabled in it too. I need some guidance for this.
Any suggestions plsss. thanks
I've recently ran across django-form-designer
It's quite nice and lets you design forms in a wysiwyg manner. Works for stand alone django applications and has an additional plugin for Django-CMS. One note: you have to follow the standalone instructions in addition to the Django-CMS instructions for installation.
From the github description:
Key features:
- Design contact forms, search forms etc from the Django admin, without writing any code
- Form data can be logged and CSV-exported, sent via e-mail, or forwarded to any web address
- Integration with Django CMS: Add forms to any page
- Use drag & drop to change the position of your form fields
- Fully collapsible admin interface for better overview over your form
- Implements many form fields included with Django (TextField, EmailField, DateField etc)
- Validation rules as supplied by Django are fully configurable (maximum length, regular expression etc)
- Customizable messages and labels
- Supports POST and GET forms
