Discussion on reformed -- Themeable Form Builder

Hi Justcomps,

Thanks, and glad you like it. The main layout for the form is described in the ui.reformed.css stylesheet. Feel free to tweak the default styles included in this stylesheet to tweak the layout of the form.

Hi Cuhfus,

If you have a live preview up somewhere, I’d be happy to take a look. However, it’s only JavaScript, HTML , and CSS , so it should work on any server configuration. Localstorage is an HTML5 browser feature, and is completely separate from anything server-side, so I’m 100% positive that would not be the reason. Most likely some paths to some of the scripts are incorrect for some reason.

Hi afk_king,

The simple processing script included with reformed only emails results to your desired email address. If you require more than this, you’d need to implement your own solution. However, there are scripts out there that you could use—reformed forms are just regular web forms and are compatible with any processing tools available. See the documentation for recommendations of form processing tools.

Hi phillippeo,

Here are the relevant docs from the jquery site on setting the date format for the datepicker: http://docs.jquery.com/UI/Datepicker#option-dateFormat

Bascially, you’ll want to include a snippet of javascript (placed after all other js code, or inside your doc ready block) with the following code:

$( ”.selector” ).datepicker( “option”, “dateFormat”, “yy-mm-dd” );

with .selector being replaced with the actual datepicker’s selector. This will change the date format for a particular form created with reformed.

If you’re wishing to change the date format for reformed itself, look in the themes/jquery.ui.reformed.js file for this line: $(this).removeClass(‘hasDatepicker’).datepicker(); and replace it with this: $(this).removeClass(‘hasDatepicker’).datepicker({dateFormat: ‘yy-mm-dd’});

Hope this helps, Paul

Hi MrGamble, There’s nothing inherently “responsive” about the forms, but the code Reformed generates can be styled however you desire. You can use just the raw HTML if you desire, instead of using the themeroller themes. They work just fine on mobile, but, as I mentioned, the styles would probably need to tweaked for optimum look and feel on mobile.

Hi justcomps. Thanks for the purchase, and glad you’ve found it useful! I can’t think of any reason why this would be happening off the top of my head; if you have some code up somewhere where I can take a look, I can probably figure out what the issue is.

Hi company-design, I’d recommend you look at both the regular and extended licenses and see which license best suits your use case. I’m not intimately familiar with the terms of either license, so without knowing more details, I’d be hesitant to give a definitive answer that might result in your breaking of the license stipulations.

Thanks for the question! Paul

Hi thanks for your reply. I want to provide a free form building service, look like this web site: http://phpfmg.sourceforge.net/ can I do it with regular license? Regards Company-Design

Please see the documentation. There are some variables you need to set in the code.

also where are forms saved if I load in a different browser there is no forms to load. . .. cookie?

This usually happens when you do not run reformed under a web sever. You must run it as a local website, rather than just a local file. Forms are saved to your browser’s local storage, which is browser-specific. Forms saved under one browser will not be available in another (this refers to the actual form creator; forms created with reformed are just regular forms and will function in all browsers, of course). Please see the documentation.

The basic form processing script included does not handle file uploads. This is stated in the documentation. Please see the documentation for links to more robust form processing tools if you are unable to code your own solution.

Hello esaddam, Forms are saved to the browser’s localStorage by default. I do have some sample code available from a different project that allows for saving the forms to a MySQL database. If you’ll contact me via email, I’ll send you a link to these files and those should guide you in the right direction.

Thanks Mr.paulpullen, Please send me the link for project that allows for saving the forms to a MySQL/MSSQL database.

If you’re using the included form processing script, you can add a hidden input field named “redirect” to your form: <input type=”hidden” name=”redirect” value=”http://www.example.com/example.html”> and create your own success page with whatever code included you wish.
