Hi,
After working with the forms module for almost 1 year, here's some features that would come in handy out of the box:
- Dynamicweb email recipient
We know we can set the field name to be MailRecipient, but that's a techie setting. Would be nice to have a setting for it
- Multiselect
Have the select field be a multiselect - currently we need to add some logic in the template to do it
- Select/Checkbox list/Radio button list
Options by SQL query - Would be nice to get dynamic data, like countries, a list of items, ...
- Show fields based on another field's value
Considering option 3, we could get States/Regions, based on the selected country, or show a whole group of fields only if a checkbox is selected
- Save referring URL
I know this is doable having a developer save that to a hidden field, but the idea would be for the module to do it automatically. Reason:
Customer creates a form and have multiple Adwords or other Marketing sites point to the page with the form. The Marketing tools may have additional query parameters we don't know about but it's easy to audit, and the customer (having little tech knowledge) would not have to worry about it
Hope these are good additions to the module. Right now we can do basically all of them, but have to copy code from old projects and adapt slightly. If Dynamicweb would have it, everybody would benefit from it, and would be standardized.
Best Regards,
Nuno Aguiar
