Hints:website_crmwebsite_form_projectwebsite_hr_recruitmentwebsite_saleConfigurationTo configure this module, you need to:HaveAdministration / Settingsprivileges.Go toSettings > Activate developer mode.Go toSettings > Technical > Database Structure > Models.Search for the model you want to manage website form access for.When you find it, it will have aWebsite Formssection where you can:Allow the model to get forms, by checkingAllowed to use in forms.Give the model forms a better name inLabel for form action.Choose the field where to store custom fields data inField for custom
form data. If you leave this one empty and the model is a mail thread,
a new message will be appended with that custom data.In theFieldstab, there’s a new column calledBlacklisted in web forms.
It’s a security feature that forbids form submitters to write to those
fields. When you create a new website form, all its model fields are
automatically whitelisted for the sake of improving the UX. If you want to
have higher control, come back here after creating the form and blacklist
any fields you want, although that will only work for custom fields.UsageTo use this module, you need to:Go to any of your website pages.Edit it.Drag and drop theFormsnippet into the page.Use the snippet overlay to add, edit and remove fields.If you want to set a hidden field, make sure you set a valid default value
on it, or users may get hidden errors and they might even be unable to send
the form!Known issues / RoadmapThese type of fields will not appear, they are forbidden since they make no
sense in this module’s context, or a correct implementation would be adding
