RSForm!Pro - Form properties

The Form properties area provides configuration aspects that directly relate to the general form functionality.

Form Info

The Form Info tab (Components > RSform!Pro > Form Manager > edit a form > Properties: Form Info) enables you to set various global form aspects.

• Published: yes / no
• Save data to database:yes / no. If the option is to set to "no" the submitted information will not be stored in the default RSform!Pro submission tables, but emails will still be triggered (along with other configured actions, like integrations, mappings, etc.)
• Enable Confirmation by Email: yes / no. If enabled the user will receive a confirmation link (similar to the one used for user accounts). Clicking on the confirmation link will set the status of the submission to confirmed.
• Form Title: The title will be used when displaying the form in the front-end / back-end area.
• Form Name: The form name will be used for internal reference.
• Return URL: After the form is submitted you can be redirected to the specified URL. For example: http://site.com
• Show Thank You Message: If enabled, you will be allowed to setup up a Thank you message (by clicking on the Edit the Thank You Message link). This will displayed after the form has been submitted. If a Continue button is displayed and the Return URL option is set, you will be redirected to the specified URL once the button is clicked
• Show Continue Button:yes / no
• Required fields will be marked with: HTML area that will mark required fields. For example: <font color="red">*
• Error Message: This is the error message the user will receive on an unsuccessful attempt to submit the form. Remember to add the {error} placeholder to the form layout.
• Multiple Selections Separator: Form fields that have multiple selectable values (checkboxes, multiple drop-downs) can be shown to the submitter (either by email or in the Thank You Message) with a custom separator. The default separator is a new line.
• Display Textarea New Lines As
  Tags: yes / no - New lines will be converted to
  tags so that they can be properly shown in the Thank You Message or in the HTML email messages. If you set this to No, new lines will be ignored.
• Use AJAX Validation: By using AJAX validation, your form will be validated in real time without refreshing the page. If you encounter issues with your template or other modules on the page (Javascript errors) when using this setting, simply set it to No and the forms will work correctly without AJAX.

Form Attributes

Using the Form Attributes area you can control the actual HTML form tag properties.

• Action: This is the action where the form will be submitted to. You will only need to edit this in rare cases. Leave blank for default (RSForm! Pro will detect the current URL).
• CSS ID: This is the id attribute of the form. By default it is set to "userForm".
• CSS Class: You can assign a CSS class to the form tag. For example: class="myClass".
• Name: This is the name attribute of the form. It has been deprecated in XHTML and should only be relied upon in rare cases.
• Additional HTML Attributes: You can add here HTML attributes. For example: style="background: green" onsubmit="return myfunction();".

Meta Tags

The form's meta tags will be used whenever this is being displayed via a RSform!Pro menu item.

• Meta description: You can add your <meta> description here (for example: This is my Joomla! contact form).
• Meta keywords: You can add your <meta> keywords here, separated by commas (for example: joomla, contact, form).
• Use form title as page title: Yes / No
